...of kitten feet!
Today was d-day for Belle and Delilah. They went in this morning to get spayed. Silly me almost cried when they took them away. I called this afternoon and they were doing well. I worry about them being in a cage all by themselves at the vet overnight...and hope that, as they told me they probably would, they are in neighbouring cages. They have never been away from home or apart from each other.
Today was lonely in the empty apartment. I kept forgetting they weren't here - expecting them to jump up on me or come meowing at me for attention. Funny how the things that bug me when they are here - like them trying to sneak through the door everytime I open it or Belle begging for food - are the things I miss when they are not here!
I remember this feeling when we put Zoey to sleep and now remember why we got new kittens so soon after. It is hard to adapt to the empty house after having a pet!
I can't imagine what kind of neurotic parent I'll be when I have a child to focus my energy on. I think it's harder with animals because you can't explain to them what's happening and that it's for their own good!
I get to pick them up tomorrow at 9am! I can't wait!
