Horrible evening (graphic)

Don't read this if you love animals as much as I do. Seriously!

I've been so tired lately and it seems that as soon as I lie down in bed, I get hungry. My Dr. ordered me to stop losing weight so I've been trying to get up anyway and eat. I'm blaming my state of exhaustion and hunger on what happened next.

It's so horrible I'm crying even now. It could have been worse, but I'm really upset.

I went and got some fig newtons and ate them in bed with DH and our kitty came in with me. She can't sleep with us because she is too disruptive. Before I finished eating she went outside the room. I got up to go to the bathroom and closed the door before she went back in. I didn't realize that her tail was in the corner of the door. She screamed so loud. I had basically severed the tip of her tail. We rushed her to the emergency hospital, but we had to coax her out from under the spare bed. Blood was everywhere.

She had to have surgery to fix the end. She'll just have a little shorter tail, but it's not too bad. We finished with everything around 2 am. I HAD to go in to work today. So DH stayed up with her while she got used to the cone on her head. She is pretty traumatized. DH feels OK about everything. He feels it's no worse than her getting spayed. I however, feel horrible.

The good news is this was our first medical crisis, aside from DH breaking his hand last month and found out we work great as a team in an emergency situation. So, that is comforting.

It was so stressful last night, that I am a little worried about the twins. I tried to stay calm, but I started having some cramping in my stomach. It only lasted about a half hour, but it was kind of scary.

Thanks for reading my story. It may seem like nothing to some, but I am such an emotional wreck and until our babies, our kitty was our little girl. I can't believe I hurt her so badly.

  • I'm so sorry! Our cats are a huge part of our family, so I can imagine how you must feel. Try to not feel too bad though because it was an accident and you and your DH did everything you could to take care of her. Give her some extra hugs and take care of yourself!

  • Thank you so much. I'm glad someone understands. Thank you for your encouragement.
  • ((hugs)). I'm so sorry, I can totally relate to how you feel. Our two kitties are like our kids too. I'm glad your cat is fine. As the pp said, it was an accident and you did everything you could to make it right.

  • Oh I'm so sorry.  I love my kitty and 2 dogs, I know exactly how you feel right now. your kitty is fine, they have a very short memory anyway! Iwould probably buy it a newmouse at PetSmart to make her feel better : )

    Try not to feel too bad, there's nothing you could have done to prevent it.
