fright 7 April 2009
Oh crikey, the FRIGHT last night and today! The beloved G cat had a big TURN last night. When we got back home she was basically blind and freaked out. Her pupils were totally open to the limit and she couldn’t see us. She walked into the walls and doors and was SO scared. And, in turn ,I joined her – told Rich that if she was the same this morning when I took her to the vet we would be saying the ultimate goodbye to her as I don’t want her to have either a moment of fright or to leave without being totally at the height of her elderly but super powers. We had her with us on the bed and I slept all of 20 minutes straight at any time cos I wanted to pet her and let her know she was fine. This morning her eyes were focusing again and she was able to do stairs and, wait for it, leap onto a table to head butt me. SO, 160 euros later, and blood tests and the works done, turns out she’s in good nick for her age, aside from a bit too much urea in her, well, urine….so we may never know what happened to her. She’ll be monitored closely, of course, cos the kidneys might be on their way out but it all boils down to the fact that she’s in much better shape today than I am (I AM A WRECK, needless to say!)
I left Dublin for London and the relief that The G Gal is okay for now was great and I must thank the Aer Lingus staff who were so friendly and good to me tonight AND we flew by the jolly and (nearly) full moon and I swear to you it looked like it was smiling in at us. I am still smiling now to think of it.
