radio-cat-tive
Jun. 13th, 2014 11:09 pmChaos went nuclear on Tuesday afternoon. The vet's called us a couple of times since then: he's doing fine, he loves everybody, he's about the most friendly and laid-back cat they've seen in there, etc etc. No real surprises. He's always been a pretty chill beast. Except for the time we moved into a place with a ceiling fan and he hid from it under the bed for two days, or when he got out once and just kind of huddled at the edge of the house because the outside was way too big.
He's likely coming home on Monday, which is all to the good. Kai, being a highly routine-oriented cat, is kind of freaked out by the lack of Chaos. She's been telling me about it most afternoons, and also at one in the morning a couple of nights. I love her dearly but one in the morning is not the time to have long yowly discussions about how she's cold because the big white cat isn't around to look put-upon while she curls up with him.
Anyway, per discussion with the vet it sounds like we'll each get half an hour a day of Chaos-cuddling apiece for a couple of weeks. This is less than he'll want but it should be enough to keep him from getting too irritable. I am very curious to see what his reaction to coming home will be. Probably "oh yes, this place, i will now spend the next twelve hours in my box and then demand that you pet me."
It'll be good to have him back.
(Also and unrelatedly, the problem with getting really good solid critiques back on a story is that it takes time and effort to absorb them, and to figure out what to do with them. There are worse problems to have.)
