I took Bobbi's kittens to TED a few days ago for their little *snip* *snip*
before leaving here for their new homes.
They were not impressed when no breakfast appeared for them the morning of
their op, I bundled them into the carry cage for the trip into town, their
first trip away from home.
I spoke soothing words to them as I left them in the care of the vet nurse,
told them I would be back soon to pick them up.
I busied myself about the house with one eye on the clock, I get a little
nervous on the day the kittens have their op since I lost a little girl
nearly two years ago when she suffered an allergic reaction to the
anaesthetic - just before lunch I rang to see how they were and was told
that all was well and they could go home (usually they tell me come and pick
them up after 3-30) the clinic had given them a little lunch.
They all swore at me when I went to pick them up! very, very vocal.
I had given their room a good clean out while they were away.
They were breaking their necks to get out of the carry cage and get to the
FOOD - I thought they would nibble a little then curl up and go to sleep for
the rest of the day - it's called recovery - yeah right!!!
I let them out the cage and it was goody food, lets wolf it down! oh lets
play, as they tore up and down the room, up and down the curtains, batted
around some ping pong balls, played with the toys, played lets jump on each
other!!!!! I was trying to tell them, you are supposed to be resting, after
about an hour they curled up and went to sleep, two hours later they were
awake and dashing about again - you wouldn't have known that they had been
out the house, let alone had surgery!!!
They will start leaving for their new homes next week - the house will be
quieter.
