It seemed a safe bet. The child needed money to move, and doesn't save very well. She needed cash to have the kitten spayed and declawed. I figured once I reminded her that it would be wise to do both surgeries at once and save the expense of two anesthesias and the cat the agony of two separate recoveries, she wouldn't have the funds to get the kitten taken care of before she moved.
After all, she is already in the process of moving, right? She took a few things out and has been sleeping in the new apartment while she paints it.
It seems that now, after all these years, she puts the budgeting skills to use that I taught her. The kitten is recovering upstairs in the child's bedroom.
No problem, you say? The child is at work, of course. Nurse Mother here is the one who has to keep checking on the kitten and being sure it's recovering nicely. The poor baby has a scratch collar on which just isn't the best accessory to wear this season. At least it's clear so the baby can see where she is going. My dogs are going bonkers and my poor old cat will soon wake up and join the dogs.
I need that Fat Lady to sing. Soon!

When my cats were neutered I felt so sorry for them...not because they lost their manhood but because they were so wobbly and then they tried to walk and barfed. Poor babies! Hope the kitty feels better soon! And what we mommy's won't do for our kids!!??? Rose
Still fat...but losing!
