It seems like just yesterday that little Morcilla was this eensy little kitten. Even now almost fully grown (she’ll be 10 months old on February 7th) she’s still quite small, not even as big as Luna. But she has been going into heat lately and – much worse! – today started peeing on stuff. At least I think it’s due to being in heat. Today was actually the first time I’ve noticed her doing this and I caught her at it three times – am starting to worry about leaving her with the run of the house. Because man it stinks!

Anyhow, I called the vet and she said the earliest she can operate (!!!) is on Friday morning. Meanwhile, I guess that will give Morcilla some time to get out of heat as they say it’s more dangerous to operate then. Also, it may be an infection so I’ll keep my eye on her and check for traces of blood (none in today’s pee). Honestly, this is so weird. I’ve never had a female cat do this before when in heat, but my vet (and google) have informed me it’s not uncommon. Eep.
