these cats

this morning i got up to swimming. i was excited to go because i have new goggles and new goggles are really awesome. so i stumbled out of bed and waddled into the bathroom. i turned on the light and saw a drop of blood on the floor. oh no! what is that? i looked around and saw a few more drops and then i saw IT. a dead mouse laying right there. good gawd. so i went into the bedroom, saw seamus mccat and nadj all perched on the bed looking all proud and i woke eric up and asked him to do something with it. he looked at it, said hmph, got a kleenex, picked it up by the tail and tossed it in the trash can in the bathroom. yeah, not quite what i was thinking.
so pawpi's face was puffing up again. and her eye was getting even more gooey. bad news, i was pretty sure she was miserable but she would just go about her business. so today eric took her back to the vets and they poked another hole in her cheek to get the goo out. they said if she wasn't so old, they would put her under anesthetic and install a drainage tube into her face. i hadn't ever thot of pawpi being too old. i mean, she is almost 13, but she should be good for another 5 or 7 years, at least, i'd like to think.
goodness, i'm not ready to deal with old pets.
