Day in the Life of an Idiot

I am still waiting for the okay to come retrieve the cat currently known as Clover from our vet in Maplewood. The update I got around noon let me know that she was NOT microchipped. We brought in a fecal sample and the doctor does recommend deworming, so, I'm guessing parasites showed up positive. She got a rabies shot and they are testing for feline leukemia. The doc will do a further exam before I bring her home, so we'll see what she has to say when I get the call to come get her. 

At this point, that probably means I'll be making an appointment to spay her as well. 

We still don't know that we will keep her. Signs are pointing to yes, but it will really depend on how everyone reacts to her. We've reopened the porch today. It's where she's been living for the past couple of days, and so Willow and Buttercup got a chance to sniff around. I'm hoping if we do this slowly and the right way, we will end up with a third cat.

If not, someone else will get a loving, healthy, spayed cat.
