We've discovered the paper bag game. Is anything more fun than three kittens playing with a paper bag? I doubt it.
They had their visit to the clinic today and were all fixed. Lola went to her new family and I had shed most of my tears beforehand, so was reasonably steady until she was put in her carrier, and heard my voice. Despite her groggy state, she stood up, climbed 1/2 out of her box to kiss me on the face... Jesus wept. I tried not to, and mostly failed. I'll miss that little angel. We bonded very deeply. I've decided, and put the thought out into the Universe, that if she needs to come back to me she will, one way or another, and said as much to Chris, telling him, "If it isnt a good match, and if the other cats dont get along with her, she will always have a home with me...." If its meant to be it will be, if not, I know I've added to her life experience in a really good way and contributed to making her babyhood a very good one. I shall miss Lola so much. She's a special Soul.
Meanwhile, Basil is doing well, but Jazzie is still very groggy and gurgling a terrible sound from having been intubated during her procedure. The gas burned her throat, and the tube scraped her larynx. She has tracheitis and laryngitis. I can tell she's really sore and feeling very unwell. Poor love.
Work is odd at the moment. I've changed departments and although 'on paper' all looks good, the department should suit me, but its dead BORING and I so very much miss my regulars; what I used to call, in the old days when I was teaching art, my 'repeat offenders' . The cranky old men who always left my till with a smile, the contractors who respected my opinions on paint and tiling, the hub-bub of the main floor which sees most of the traffic, and me knowing where to direct people within the inch to find what they want.....
Later... Jazzie is vomiting. I dont think that's good. I was told to expect her to be sluggish and to 'gurgle' a bit when she breathes. But no one said anything about vomiting. She's barfed twice now... I've paged the vet.....
Right, have spoken to the vet who says to monitor for an hour (she's managed to get herself onto the bed and beside Baz so that is good) and then call again, and if there isnt any change in her condition, he'll see her to make sure she's ok. That will make it 9pm. Can you believe how dedicated these people are?!
Bless them!
