Soul is gone
Dec. 8th, 2012 10:51 pmWe spent the day today playing and just sitting. He was with me on the couch when I grabbed him and put him in the carrier. He shrieked. He hated the carrier (and Kanda went and hide when he heard him). He didn't say a word after that.
The guy from the Perennial Cat Shelter (check them out) met me at the car and asked me how I was. I couldn't answer and he didn't miss a beat, answering for me. Sad. He told me about how he cried when he had to give up the kittens his cat had. We talked about getting my students down there to volunteer. He showed me the place and the new cats, 9 of the predicted twenty all from the same woman. One looked just like Kanda.
Soul will be in the isolation crate for a week. We couldn't get him into it. I had to completely dissamble the carrier to get him out. He was terrified and I felt so horrible. He spent the rest of the time huddled in a corner, his chin on the litter box. At least he'll have company in that room because someone else came to surrender a very calm and cool about it white cat with bi colored eyes. I was there for about an hour before I said goodbye. Oran, the man who's sort of running it, assured me they've never not had a cat qualify for the no kill exemption and that if there was some reason Soul didn't make it, they'd let me know. I'll go get him back.
I'm calmer now than I was all day and it didn't help that the day started horrible. I had had a headche all day yesterday but at midnight it turned blinding. I'll call it a migraine for intensity but it wasn't one of my migraines. It was one of the ones I went to the doc for and he acted like he didn't believe me, the old bastard. It has to deal with my sinuses and this weather. Lying down hurt. If I did fall asleep I'd be awake within the hour in so much pain I thought my eye was falling out. If it wasn't 3 in the damn morning I would have gone to the ER and said look at my sinus NOW. It's doing it NOW. So I've had no sleep and it was a long day.
I took a video (the first time on this camera) of them playing but it was SO dark it's not really good but here it is with me sounding like an idiot. You can see the huge stack of grading in its bag.
And I took some final photos
( Goodbye Soul )
Kanda ran and hid from me when I came home. It's been a sucky year pet wise. I lost Roy in March. Mom and Dad lost Rogue in June, John lost Pebbles last month and now Soul.
And to end on a slightly better note check otu these
Christmas trees around the world I love looking at takes around the world (so why did we need about 3-4 things from DC I don't know)
