Morti

Apr 19, 2023 3:18 PM

I'm a bit of a mess right now because Morti had to go in to the vet for dental...stuff. Probably some extractions. And a biopsy, maybe.

She's such a sweet, silly cat.

The vet just texted me letting me know she's 'resting comfortably' and will be going into surgery within the hour.

I'm a mess right now. Broke down and cried in the grocery store trying to figure out how to get a cart full of groceries through the self checkout.

My concerns about the bill are large, but completely overshadowed by my fear that these are my last pictures of her.

Anyway, I just wanted people to know she exists, and that she's a very good kitty.

UPDATE: The vet called. She's doing well under anesthesia. Six teeth need to be pulled, a bone graft, and they're going to biopsy a mass because it could be cancer. Worse than I expected, upper range of $2,800-ish. And they promised to keep the teeth for me.

Update 2: Vet texted. She's in recovery. Waiting for a call.

Update 3: They called. Price is slightly lower, so hooray. She's awake, and we're picking her up in...about three hours?

Morti's very spicy sister is actually in my lap right now.

Update 4: She is home. And very drugged. Her sister is afraid of her right now.

I need a kitty update! Please share some more photos of both the spicy kitty and Morti.

Morti, a few days after, when she was feeling good enough to seek cuddles. Also, it was cold enough, because the weather gets weird here sometimes.

El is hard because she's so spicy about so many things, and most of her cuddle time happens when she manages to wake me up, and it's too dark to get pictures of her then. Sometimes, I'll get lap time from her, and she always looks a little cranky.

Almost thirteen pounds of purrs. I know that stupid little crate is too small for her, but I don't want to risk getting one that she can just rip apart. She'd be in my lap right now, if it were a normal day.

Hope so. Her sister seems sad right now. Sleeping in a weird spot. Your cats are lovely, by the way.
