Home is the sailor, home from the sea. . .
. . . and the kitteh home from the vet.
He seemed
rather glad to see me when I picked him up at the vet’s; as soon as we got home and the garage door was shut, I let him out of the PTU (still in the truck in the garage) — he practically leapt on me and delivered serious purrs and headbutts, and chewed briefly on my nose.
I think it translated to “I’m glad to be home, but do this again and I’ll hurt you.” He has stitches that will have to come out in two weeks, so I’ll make sure my insurance is up to date.
Little does Kismet know that he gets to be pilled daily for the next two weeks.

Packet had his annual rabies update yesterday. He took it well. They love him there at the vet’s office.
This morning, a bit over an hour ago, I dropped Kismet off at the vet’s office. The strange lumps in his armpits haven’t responded long-term to antibiotics, so the vet is going to do a biopsy. I’ll pick him up late this afternoon.
He hates
hates hates going to the vet; he cried the entire way during the drive there. Once there, though, he started purring —
loudly. If that’s part of the fear response, then I might as well give up right now on ever trying to understand cat psychology.
I haven’t slept yet. If I’d gone to bed, there’s no way I’d have been able to wake up in time to get the lad to the vet.
Now I’m off to bed. Don’t expect me to move before 4pm.
This has the ring of truth to it.
Vis-a-vis bathroom visits: Mycah is about 20%, Packet perhaps 50%, and Kismet about 95%.
