Purrs and Purrayers Needed...

Thank you, KC and ML, for the lovely purrs picture.

Locket needs some purrs and purrayers tonight. The infection he had when he came in returned twice as bad today and we rushed him to the vet. He said relapses were common with that type of infection and he needs to keep Locket overnight for observation. He cried at me when the technician took him back to the cat room.
Cocoa's been walking around looking for him. I feel so bad.
I've had to leave cats at the vet's before and each time it's heartwrenching. I'm worried he thinks I've left him there for good. Poor baby, he's hardly six months old and he's never been away from his family before, ever. He's probably scared out of his wits.
I can't think about it. It makes me feel so bad, like I'm a bad pet parent to have left him there.

  6. It IS a wrench to leave a furbaby at the vets, but the alternative is to keep him with you and maybe make a terrible mistake. best leave it to the experts, you know he's in great hands. He'll have forgotten about it in 5 minutes when he comes out to you!

  7. Poor Locket!! I'm purring for him to get better soon! I hope the V-E-T can help him. Don't feel bad for leaving him -- you have to help him get better adnd it does not make you a bad pet parent.

  16. Getting him all the care he needs is what makes you a fantastic parent, not a bad one, and who knows, there might be an office cat or human as good as me watching out for him :)

  17. We all feel that we are pad pet parents when our babies get sick ans have to stay over at the vets. Or when we have to be away for a few days and have to have a sitter, even if is is my daughter!
