taking a break

Honestly Morcilla has been so good about resigning herself to the DREAD CONE. She has only slipped it off once when I wasn’t home and Peter got it back on her again. But everyone needs a break now and then, so every couple of days I’ve been taking the cone off, giving it a good hot soapy wash, and letting Morcilla roam unfettered for an hour or so. Of course under my watchful eye so she won’t scratch at her stitches. And the first thing she wants to do is groom herself. Even though I’ve been wet-combing her to get dust and whatnot off her coat she still wants to cover herself in cat spit. Which is a mystery that I have never solved. How is it that cats have pretty vile breath (if you get up close) but after slathering cat gob all over themselves they smell fresh as a spring morning?

So we have another week of camping out in my room at night with the door closed so Morcilla doesn’t get into any trouble. I reckon if she can put up with the damn cone then I can put up with being shut inside my bedroom overnight.

it’s benign!!!

benign

Just home from the vet’s from another post op check up and antibiotic jab (last one) and found out the biopsy results had come back. And it’s benign!!! OMG. I don’t even know how to feel. I mean of course I am so relieved and happy and all that but I’ve been so wound up tight since the operation, well even before that, I think it’s going to take a bit for it all to sink in. But yeah, I can breathe again. That feels good. And my girl is on the mend.

The hard part now will be that Morcilla has to keep the dread collar on for another week (we go to get the stitches taken out a week tomorrow) and there’s no way she’s going to like that. We will also have to keep camping out in my bedroom at night with her own food and water dishes and litter box. In part to keep her in check (she’s already learned how to take the cone off) but also to keep her separated from Luna, who is being a hissy-spitty weirdo.

Ufff, can I tell you? Since I was little I have never been able to sleep with my bedroom door closed. Nor can I sleep in the dark. The door thing I can just about manage but I’ve had to rearrange the nightlight situation so there’s an extra one in my room now. But being closed off all night means that Luna (who used to love curling up under the sheets with me) is now bedding down with Peter and I can see that at the end of all this she will probably remain with him. Cat bed politics.

But the important thing is omg omg omg… Morcilla is going to be okay. I was so scared to even hope after taking Loki in for what I thought was a routine check up and then a week later he was gone. Anyhow, for now it’s all good. Thanks to everyone for your good wishes.

After a sleepless night and fretful morning (me) and a stressful scream-filled taxi ride (Morcilla) we are home. Morcilla is just starting to perk up but is still quite groggy and wobbly. She keeps trying to walk but just ends up rolling over, poor thing. I have the small duvet folded up on the living room floor but she refuses to stay there, stubborn girl that she is, and ends up slipping and sliding all around on the marble floor. So I pick her up and put her back on the duvet and it starts all over again.

Anyhow, she needed six stitches in the end. Sonia had first thought just three but it turned out the lump went much deeper that she realised and she wanted to make sure she got all of it out. And so now we wait and hope it’s benign. I’m taking her back in for a quick check up on Friday morning and then the stitches come out about ten days after that. But for today I am on Morcilla Watch while she gets over the anaesthetic. My baby girl. πŸ’›πŸˆβ€β¬›

Miss Morcilla. Turns out that lump has grown a bit and so we went to see Sonia the vet and it’s been decided that my beautiful girl will have an operation to remove and analyse it next Wednesday. Wish us luck!
