Deep Breaths

We have an appointment on Monday for all the cats to get spayed/neutered. It's been a long time coming, but when you have to do four at one time it can get a bit pricey.

You may recall, I tried to get momma Sparkle spayed back in May, but there was a small issue of lactation that had to be dealt with.

Well then May turned into June, into July, blah blah blah, and we never quite got around to getting it done.

Right after Christmas we agreed it needed to be taken care of now and Chuck was on it. He found an even lower-cost spay/neuter clinic, sponsored by the City and dutifully made an appointment. Yup, for Monday, as I've mentioned. I even went and bought new carriers today because though we have a couple, we do not have anything sufficient to tote four cats around in simultaneously.

Well Chuck just informed me that he's fairly certain that Sparkle is pregnant again. Looks like Monday's procedure just got a little more expensive and complicated.

This is me, taking deep cleansing breaths.

Well, Bethra, I certainly hope you won't have to dodge pro-life picketers over at the vet's.

I'll be taking them in, Grace, and I don't dodge. Any picketers in my way are gonna get the smack-down. And then I'll make a donation to the pet version of Planned Parenthood in their name.
