I received word from the vet that the surgery was complete, and that Mycah now has a “cute little tail.” No word on whether her butt had to be shaved.
I went to pick her up, but by the time I got there, the vet had decided it would be best to keep her there for the rest of the day, and keep her on fluids. Mycah, being diabetic, has to have close attention paid to her kidneys. I understand that, but it’s still something of an unwelcome hiccup in the proceedings.
I’ll be taking a break from work [working from home… what a wonderful modern age we live in] later this afternoon to go pick her up, and she’ll have to go back for a followup tomorrow morning.

Mycah has been delivered to the vet this morning for her tail removal surgery. She takes being bundled into the carrier and whisked off rather well, and today was no exception, but I was sure to be extra nice to her. Especially since, when she headed downstairs this morning, she thought she was about to be fed. Fooled her again.
The folks at the cat clinic were, as always, very kind. They obviously love cats there, they like Mycah, and she. . . well, she tolerates them. She knows the clinic is where she routinely suffers indignities.
Such as, she’s going to have her butt shaved today.
OK, I don’t know for fact that they’ll shave her butt there today, but it makes sense for a tail amputation.
I just hope she’ll be OK. I know she’s in good hands.
