So Miss Kage (a.k.a. Kage-sama, a.k.a. Miss Thing) is currently spending some quality time at the vet and will be there having her kidneys flushed through Saturday. The current plan is if she perks up and her numbers look good after the treatment we'll move forward with the surgery. The vet is going to use gas rather than intravenous anesthesia which will be less traumatic on the kidneys but he's dubious about having enough skin to close up the wound once the tumor is removed. Also she's probably going to lose a toe but that's hardly the end of the world.

If her numbers aren't better after the treatment then we postpone the surgery until it becomes unavoidable. But at the very least she should be feeling better once the toxins are flushed out of her system, so that's something. And the way I look at it she's getting a few days away from Pye, so aside from the medical stuff she'll need to tolerate, it's almost like a vacation.

On the other hand Pye isn't handling things at all well. To say he's more than a little freaked out would be a vast understatement. When I brought the carrier home without Kage in it he became profoundly distressed and only just now settled down. It's going to be a long night.

Aelf is going to swing by and visit her tomorrow and I'll be there on Saturday whether she comes home that day or stays until Monday for the surgery.

Pye's much better this morning after I put food out for the squirrels but he refuses to go into the kitchen without Kage when I go to feed him. He'll sneak in on his own later and insists on eating out of her bowl. It's rather cute in a way. Sometimes I forget that he learned how to be an indoor cat from her. As much as they fight, he relies on her a lot more than the other way around.

I hope her numbers look good. How soon will you know? And are we still going to see you tonight?

I'm still holding you, Angie and Kage in the Light.

This is one of the hardest things we go through. It's the cost of loving animals and giving them a good home.

But no matter what happens, you gave Kage a loving and stable home, which is more than tens of thousands of cats and dogs get. Be proud of that, and no matter what happens, remember the good times always.

Thank you, I'll hold onto both of those thoughts :)

my love and thoughts and hugs are with all of you. Hopefully her numbers will get better and everything will go according to plan. As I said before, if you need to talk, you can call either T or me. We're both here for you!!!
