ayasha*

ayasha is my new cat.
and she is sick as a dog.

a few hours after having her tubes tied, i picked her up from the vet and brought her home. she was pretty loopy, and when she finally crept out of her cat carrier, she stumbled over a couple times.
hey, you would too if you just had your underbelly shaved and your female insides mangled and tied up so that you couldn't ever have babies. and on top of that she had been microchipped and de-fleaed. poor thing.

the next day she developed a bit of a sneeze. i let it go for a day before bringing her into the vet - they told me to watch out for sneezing and lethargy. well, she had both of those times 10.

now i find myself squeezing medicine through a plastic syringe into her mouth twice a day. [i thought taking care of a cat was supposed to be easy..] the first few days were alright - she didn't seem to mind too much. now i realize that cooperation with me was not a choice. she just couldn't move. now she's getting back just enough energy to fight back. it's ok, though. i've got it under control. i'm juuuuust strong enough to overpower her.


*she's pretty tiny, and ayasha means "little one" in cheyenne.
and "asha," what she goes by, means "hope" in hindi. thanks, kash. gt would be proud.



drugged up kitty.
