It's the late show...

hippybngstockngWell there's no news other than a couple realizations that have us not going to Ohio at all, nobody. There was a chance that Crash and K might have hopped a bus, but now even if Tatsu dies we'll be staying here. Better for everyone this way, we're no good no matter where we are right now.
I'm anxious because they have Tatsu hooked up to an IV and they don't have staff there overnight. That strikes me as a little wrong, but they do it all the time so I guess it's okay. They were certainly using a better more secure bandage than Meerkat had when he had his IV and Tatsu seems to have very little interest in pulling it out. Barring a late night fit of energetic tearing on his part during the night he should be fine, but I'm his mom and I am scared so I just don't feel right. It's probably because he's alone. I didn't know he was alone last night, and I feel bad that he's alone tonight. I wish I could take him home, but they'd never let me take their precious machine I am sure...
A lot of you out there might be saying to yourselves, "Why are you going through all this for a cat?" but you know what, he's not just any cat. This is a child-proof cat. My son grabbed a fistful of fat cat flesh one day while he was learning to pull himself up on things- a mere baby. Tatsu was walking by a little close and K just saw something to grab. Tatsu calmly looked at him, like a father cat would look at a kitten, and gently put his teeth around K's wrist, very gently, so gently I could see it... K got a concerned look on his face for a moment and simply let go. It was beauty, it was learning, and it was all for good. Tatsu gave his side a lick and walked away happy. I would never throw a cat like that away, not for an $8 mistake that WE made that's now costing us a lot more. So fucking what. Money is evil and you can never tell me otherwise. If I am out this money now I'll just not get something that probably would have caused me more pain somewhere else down the line. Life is like that, cats are better and you can never convince me otherwise.

Date: 2004-04-10 12:31 am (UTC)There's a simple answer: Because he is your cat and you love him. All else you mention is just an expansion of that. And that's really all you need to say for me to understand, anyway.
Tell Tatsu we're hopin' for him out here. And while you're at it, tell yourself that too.
