I just got back from dropping Bean off at the vet. She's went in for a teeth cleaning, so she'll be spending the day there. Because anesthesia is involved in the procedure, this meant no midnight snacks or breakfast, so she was not a happy Bean today. She kept yelling and yelling and I just kept apologizing, hoping she would understand and relax.
She's in very good hands and with people she's very comfortable around, so there's no need to worry, but that doesn't stop me from worrying, of course. I'm a worrier.
It's really weird not having her in the house right now. You can tell Wylla is a bit confused by the absence of her sister and the disrupted morning routine. She's sitting in the window like she normal does after breakfast, but she's on Bean's side of the window, and she's not looking outside, she's looking around the living room and at me with a face that needs answers. It's kind of breaking my heart that I can't offer an explanation she can comprehend. It's going to be a long day.
If you wouldn't mind, please think good thoughts for our dear girl.
Thank you!
Beams for the Bean!
ReplyDeleteSending lots of love and calm your way. Always hard when our little ones are out of our hands. Peace.
ReplyDeleteAw, I'm sorry. Our two kitties went through this a couple of weeks ago. They ended up having to have a few extractions (hopefully Bean won't) but they had to stay overnight and we were up all night worrying. Good thoughts and prayers for your little family coming your way!
ReplyDeleteWe are thinking good thoughts right now, Laurie. Please let us know when the Queen Bean returns home with her pearly whites polished. (Because we are worriers too.) Wylla will give her a good sniffing when she returns!
ReplyDeleteRamona needs dental work probably in September and it will be difficult because she is so terrified to be anywhere but home with me. She needs at least one extraction and there is no way I can leave her overnight. Best wishes for you and Bean.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely thinking good thoughts for the Bean and anti-anxious thoughts for Wylla! <3
ReplyDeletePurrs to all of you
ReplyDeleteGood thoughts coming your way for Bean and Wylla both!
ReplyDeleteHappy thought to Bean! Love Buddy, Tiger, Mr. Mistofelees and Debra.
ReplyDeletePS. Buddy understands. He went to the dentist a few years ago. No midnight snacks and breakfast is just too UNFAIR! Hope you get a really yummy super.
All best to the Bean and her family today: I hope she's first on the list and will be home as early as possible! Here's to our VIP getting the Very Important Pussycat treatment.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, beautiful eyes.
ReplyDeleteSending hugs and positive thoughts. I worry the same way - I actually cry when I drop our cats off at the vet. Anesthesia makes me nervous.
ReplyDeleteDear Charlene,
ReplyDeleteI had my teeth cleaned for the first time at 11yrs young and 1 tooth pulled. It was scary but I am fine now. Tell Mom & Wylla not to worry too much as they will be laughing at you when you come home. It can take a day or two to stop looking and feeling loopy while staring off into space and walking like a drunken sailor. Remember that revenge is best served between 3am and 5am, hair ball style!
Love Reilly in CT
This is so true! My 2 both acted really strange for a few days afterwards. Cocoa didn't even purr for us until a full week later. She must have been feeling pretty bad but with 6 teeth pulled one would I guess!
DeleteGood thoughts for all of you! It's hard to be the patient, the worried parent, OR the confused sister...
ReplyDeleteSending good thoughts to all of you. Hope the procedure goes well and Bean is soon back where she belongs.
ReplyDeleteYour cats get midnight snacks???
I hope my cat doesn't hear of that 'purrk'.
DeleteHe is pushy enough when supper time approaches!
Purr-rr-rr-rr-rr-rr... --from Arowyn
ReplyDeleteI, too, am a worrier. Sending good thoughts your way from Virginia. At such worrisome times I often tell myself, "by this time tomorrow, this will all be over." Hope that all goes well and things settle into a "normal" routine soon.
ReplyDeleteMy cats went to the vet today. For the most part they're in good health. Sadly the one who is overweight is even more so and the one who is underweight is even more so. They're running the semi-annual blood tests on my underweight girl to see if her kidney disease is worse before they can clean her teeth and administer her vaccinations. I'm not sure how to encourage one to eat more while encouraging the other one to eat less.
ReplyDeleteBad news. Lena's (seen in 2:26 of Charlene's birthday video on the left) kidney disease has been advanced to stage three. I'm taking her in Monday to learn how to keep her hydrated and get some pills to encourage her to eat more. But at this point it doesn't look good. The vet said she has maybe a year left. She's not that much older than Charlene. I'm hoping for the best. At least Lena knows how much she is loved.
DeleteWe hope for the best for you all.
Deletep.s. She really is a gorgeous kitty.
ReplyDeleteAww... it's so rough, even when it's a "routine" visit, isn't it? (My 5-year old gray girl gets so nervous at the vet that she trembles and her paw pads sweat, poor thing.)
ReplyDeleteSending happy thoughts for Charlene and all you guys!!
I simply adore the Queen Charlene Butterbean and will hold her my prayers today..She is such a regal Queen in my book..Lots of smooches for her and Wylla Stout the princess tooooo! X()X()X()
ReplyDeleteof course purrs are in order!
ReplyDeleteFeel better fast Bean! Hope your mom and dad give you extra in your food bowl tonight. You deserve it after being *starved* for so long :D
ReplyDeleteI can't get over how SPARKLY her eyes are. That 2nd pic from the bottom!!
ReplyDeleteWylla- Zoubi sends her best to YOU because she is also confused and worried and sits at the front door and won't leave it for hours waiting for her sister cat. So Zoubi totally understands you and hopes you see your Bean soon- even if she smells funny! The rest of us send our best hugs for Bean and her humans. :-)
ReplyDeleteSending All my positivity to Queen Bean...♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteSending love your way!
ReplyDeleteLove and peaceful thoughts for Queen Bean and her family. Disruption of any routine is difficult, but the absence of one little furry being is quite disruptive, no matter how temporary.
ReplyDeleteI hope everything goes well with the exam/cleaning! Guessing she's with Sue and Sarah? If so, she's in the best of hands :)
ReplyDeleteIt's times like this that I always wish I spoke Cat. Much sympathy to all of you, but especially to Bean (I hate the dentist [wry g]).
ReplyDeleteAw, I'm sorry you had a day of worrying. I know how that is, since I'm a worrier, too. I hope Bean is home now, and getting lots of cuddles from her mom, dad, and sister.
ReplyDeletePlease tell us everything went okay!
ReplyDeleteShe's doing fine.
DeleteThat's great. I bet she's glad to get home. Did Wylla greet her or was suspicious about how her big sister smelled?
DeleteI'll be telling the full story next week.
