Can I please have a cat moment where i act like a mother to my pet and personify her? thanks.

Sooooo if any of you have cats, you know it is virtually impossible to brush their teeth. I’ve tried many times – some will let you, some won’t. Just like clipping their claws, that is no problem – i can do it to both my cats pretty easily. Anyway, Zelda generally gags when I try to brush her teeth, and resists so much I end up lettiner her go. I knew after a certain amount of years she would need to have some sort of professional cleaning to preserve her teeth and stave off the possiblity that she’ll lose some as she gets older – it happens to a lot of animals.

Yesterday Tych & Zelds had their annual checkup and I asked the vet if now was a good time – they said they could get her in tomorrow for a teeth cleaning and that I could even leave her there over night. I agonized over it mainly because Zelda is just so awesome, I didn’t want to a) leave her in a scary vets office all night, and b) i love having her around at home – how would i sit at my laptop without her behind my head all night? But the problem was that a) If I leave her it is motivation to do this procedure she really needs and b) there’s no way I can get out here AGAIN in the early morning then BACK AGAIN later in the night. I have a life people.

So I left her there and called at 8 to see if she was ok through the night and they said, yes she is in good spirits this morning, and we just took her out to put in her CATHETER. first of all, she’s a cat. come on. she needs a catheter?? and second of all – her procedure could be anywhere from noon to four, so she has to stay like that for goodness knows how long. UGHGHGHG it’s torture to me. sigh. :(
