Vet Day
Well, I had to get up at 7 am to drive my Fig over to the vet by 8 today. Needs to get his teeth done.
They have to do blood work to make sure the anesthesia will be okay for him, then put him to sleep for the cleaning, do the cleaning and I come pick him up. Hopefully by 4 I’ll be getting him back.
I just can’t help but feel bad though. Couldn’t be fed after midnight, and this morning he was acting all nice-nice with me, purring etc; vainly attempting to get food. After I brought the kitty-carrier inside, I swear I thought I saw a brick drop out his rear end. He instantly bolted behind a counter, still meowing for food and now panicking.
Getting him in the carrier is a chore, have to push him into it and force the door shut before he turns around. Then the meowing starts and continues for the whole time.
I just can’t help but feel bad. He’s going to be there for 8 hours, alone in a little cage for the times he is awake. I could hear him whaling and crying all the way down to the basement at the place.
People without pets really don’t know what it is like to go even a day without your pet in the home. You can easily tell the absence of them. Nothing feels right, they aren’t there following you, or in a certain place at a certain time.
I just can’t wait to get him back this afternoon, it’s so sad to have to do this.

ugh it just tears at your heart, doesn’t it? You miss them, you feel bad for them, you wonder what they could possibly be thinking. I like how you did it though. You dropped him off early enough that you can pick him up later in the day. He doesn’t have to stay over night.
Don’t worry sweetie. He’ll be home before you know it. Only an hour to go now. Sorry I wasn’t around to keep you company. eep. *hugs* <3

aww it’s okay *hugs you* <3
Yeah, only an hour to go to get him, so I’m glad it worked out this way. They said everything went good, just needed to teeth pulled.
Poor guy must be so scared. ugh

hopefully he wont remember anything. *L* You know how they are.
Good thing they don’t remember things because they’d probably hate us. lmao eep

He’s either going to be pissed or happy to see me. lol
I keep thinking of South Park the other week with the cats getting banned, then the one family getting theirs back and it attacks the dad. lol

rofl I can’t see figgy doing that to you (haha that was funny though).
ugh i hated leaving meeka over when she got spayed. two days. wow that was so weird. You are lucky figgy doesn’t have to stay away that long.
Ya know, he’ll get home and probably act like nothing happened. lol

lol you never know, he may have a lot of pent up rage!
That must of been so hard to leave her out for two days. I can’t imaging having to do that.
I think he’ll just pass out. lol Back to business as usual.
