Anyway, our summer. When Daddy fell some men came in our house to take him away. They were definitely strangers and you know how we feel about strangers. Anna usually goes in the bedroom and gets in the bed, under the covers. Well the strangers came in through OUR BEDROOM WINDOW. Yes I am shouting! That was our favorite place to sit and watch the birds and the voles in the vegetable garden. Not only that but he had to step on OUR BED to get in the room. Well, Mom was nowhere to be found, they took Daddy away on a little bed and OUR BED smelled like strangers! Anna freaked. No I am serious. She started chewing every piece of plastic she could find. Normally when something this stressful happens Mom sticks a little piece of a pill down her throat and she is really cranky for a while but then she gets all serene and spacey and sleeps a lot. Well Mom was not home. NO she wasn't. She says she was at the stabby place for people with Daddy. Poor Daddy. I wonder if the clipped his claws too. Anyway after almost a week of days Anna quit using the litter box but her breath smelled like she was snacking from it. Blech. Mom took her back to the stabby place and left her there. A few days later Daddy came home. He smelled weird, had a HUGE soft thing on his paw and was in the chair with wheels. Then a couple days later Mom brought Anna home. She looked awful, smelled worse and did not want me near her. Mom worried and fretted for days but finally Anna started to look a little more normal. They had shaved her legs (don't they know cats don't DO that!!) They also shaved her belly and had actually SEWED her belly!! Who does that to a cat! Mom said she was okay now but I really did not want to get too close yet. Anna stayed with Daddy most of the time. Here is a pic.
Notice the shaved legs and her little bare belly. She is on the bed with Daddy getting ready to nap. See how big her collar looks? She lost some weight and then hardly ate anything for the first couple of days home.
Anna had to go back to the stabby place to get the sewing taken out of her tummy and Mom says she was really nervous and freaked out the whole time. Poor Anna. I guess I shoulda been nicer to her and not hissed when she came near me eh?
