Every rose has its thorns.

Published

on February 15, 2007

This morning I arrived at the office and soon realized the cat was nowhere to be seen. The guards had previously informed me that she’d been receiving regular nighttime visits from a burly tomcat and it usually didn’t go well. They always seemed to get into a brouhaha. Well lately, the visits have been more cordial and apparently he convinced her to leave the office with him (something she’s practically never done before) on a flight of fancy. I knew she’d venture out of the nest someday, but it was still a shocker. She came ambling back around 1PM looking much worse for the wear. She was quite shell-shocked and frazzled from head to tail. She kept shaking her paws and seemed to move with difficulty, but there was no bleeding. She seemed to drool some. I made a little bed for her behind the open office door and she rested there all afternoon. Poor thing. Love hurts.

please let her know that this behavior will NOT be tolerated. simply NOT becoming of a lady.

tell her that nonsense only leads to whining little mouths to feed, for which her burly Tom will not take any responsibility during 3am feedings. Little hussy.

Update: Lumi is doing better. She seems to have started grooming herself again. She’s awfully clingy this week. Worst of all, she’s started hanging her tongue out and the drooling continues. I think she’s entered early into the loopy stage of the cat life cycle.

I think you better take her in and have her tested - blood work etc. you know. Tom’s rep on the streets is that he is not a safe dude. But seriously that drooling and stuff could be rabies. ???
