    • personal (pet!) stuff under the cut

    Me and my husband have been wanting to get a friend for our cat Radar for a while now. But Radar needed surgery first (and had a bit of a rough go with that) so we decided to wait until he was alright again to start looking for his friend. He’s officially on the mend now and back to being the purr monster I know and love so we’ve been cruising PetFinder recently. 

    There are a few shelters in my area. One is hosted through the local PetSmart and I saw a cat there (orange, sweet,lovable), and decided that maybe this was ‘the one’. So hubs and I meet the cat and he’s wonderful. He loves being held. He gives hugs and kisses. He’s basically pure love with orange fur. How this sweet little creature survived an entire year as a stray is anybody’s guess. We start going through the adoption process, fill out the forms, chat with the volunteers, we go over his paperwork. They go to do their approvals and then about 10 minutes later we find out someone put in an adoption form before us. And that’s that. I relinquish the cat. We drive home.

    I mean, on the plus side- he still got adopted! But I can’t say I’m not a little upset. Bad timing, I guess.

    pet drama under the cut

    My cat had a routine exam about a month ago. They mentioned they thought one of his teeth looked like it was in rough shape and might need to get pulled. So I had blood work done and signed him up for a dental exam.

    Fast forward to yesterday. That one tooth that ‘might’ need to pulled turned out to be 7 that had to be pulled. They had to shave both his legs to get an IV in so he’s got a very unflattering haircut and now he only has one incisor of the four left and he’s missing four of his back teeth. Of course, you can’t feed them before surgery so he came home at 5:30 last night and hadn’t eaten anything since about 9pm the night before. He was famish and managed to eat and drink some despite the state of his mouth.

    This morning his poor face was so swollen and his drool was all bloody ( they told me it probably would be). He tried to eat but wasn’t terribly successful. Then he just laid on the bed while I bawled like a baby. I gave him the prescribed pain meds (which he takes no problem) but I wish I could do more. I’m at work now fretting about him. I was worried about them pulling just one tooth. Now I wish it was just one.
