Just when things seem at their worse in pretty much every way... Along comes something that just knocks you back. Some of you will I'm sure laugh at me for the affect this has on me... but oh well, it's who I am.
Last night when I came home Arwen (female kitty) was laying in my closet, not a usual place for her. My roommate told me that she had been there for hours. So I get her out, and set her on the floor. She won't walk... she finally takes a couple of steps, and she won't put any weight on one back leg. I freak out, of course. I call three different emergency vets, they all say she can wait. So I have no choice but to make her comfortable and wait.
This morning my wonderful roommate took her to the vet, while I was at class. I took my cell phone and was in contact with everyone between classes. Turns out my baby girl tore the tendons that hold her knee cap in place. It's pretty much just floating around in there. It's very uncomfortable and painful for her. She has to go into surgery tomorrow morning. She's six months old. *sigh* I went and visited her a little while ago, and I'm going back tomorrow after surgery.
The thought of her there, at the clinic, in a little cage... all night... alone... it KILLS me. I can hardly bare it. And it's not the same around here without her. She won't be home until Friday, at the earliest.
*sigh*

i'm sure everything will be alright though. it's just scary.
i'm trying to figure out how to make my kitten remember he isn't a lion.
you'll both be ok though.
i will give my kitty extra love to increase the positive kitty karma.
