At Mist and Indy’s long-overdue checkups a couple of weeks back, a dental cleaning was highly recommended. So today, the two of them get dropped off for all-day tooth cleaning stuff (under anaesthesia). Maybe. Mist was in all night, but Indy decided to no-show from the time we got home to, well, Midnight (which was when I tired of staying up waiting for him). No sign this morning, either, which is irksome, not worrying. Hopefully he shows in time for Margie to take him in …<\/p>\n
(And did I mention we were planning on microchipping him, too? Imagine that.)<\/p>\n
UPDATE: Margie found him up the street. The neighbors there leave their garage cracked open for him (as he is a communal cat, it appears).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
