Ian brought Kiki (our cat) home from the vet today while I was at work. When I got home she seemed okay until she went into her litter box. One of her paws started to bleed while she was scratching around and she jumped out and got blood all over the kitchen floor and cried. And then I cried. She's laying down now after cleaning her poor, swollen paws off. I feel like the most horrible person in the world. I don't think she even understands what has happened to her yet. All she knows is that we left her somewhere and when she woke up she was hurting. I feel so awful. I don't think I could ever do this to another animal again, furniture be damned. If she's not remarkably better tomorrow I'm going to call the vet. I tried to call tonight when she was bleeding but there was no answer. Not even a machine. Ian can handle these things so much better than I can. I think I even cried when we got her spayed and it was necessary to do that.

Anyway, happy Valentine's Day everyone.
