Cross your heart?

[thistlechaser]

It's kind of disturbing and kind of cool (in a disturbing sort of way) to see the beating heart of something you love. Miss Kitty went in for her cardiac ultrasound this morning. I got to watch her heart beating for a while (in black and white, and sort of shadowy).

There was really nothing but good news: Her condition hasn't gotten any worse. The specialist doctor guy said it was nearly impossible for it to go away, so "not gotten worse" is the best we can hope for. For now, she won't need to go onto any life-long drugs. And also good, since this was a follow up ultrasound, the bill was only in the hundreds, not thousands.

Miss Kitty is now busy ignoring me in protest of having been taken to the mean, awful, evil vet. :)

Edit: Her name isn't really Miss Kitty, I just tend to call her that while writing about her.

I actually had a cat named Miss Kitty. It wasn't really planned - I was about 7, and I really wanted a cat. One day, a black and white cat just showed up. Of course, my parents didn't want another pet (we had a dog), but she stuck around for a few days. So, we put a Found ad in the local newspaper, and called her Miss Kitty as a temporary, don't-get-attached name.

She stayed, as Miss Kitty, for 9 more years before finally dying peacefully at a ripe old age. She went completely deaf in the last year or so of her life, which was only a plus - now she could nap in a lot more places without being disturbed! Loud party with 30 people in her living room? No problem, under the coffee table, nobody will step on you!

Cats are a treasure.
