We love our pet, we really do. But it's time for a couple of surgeries that will hopefully tame the beast in her a bit. She goes in tomorrow for her lady surgery, and two weeks later she's scheduled for her own special mani-pedi. We tried to spare her those surgeries, but she is making us crazy, attacking our lower extremities nonstop, leaving streams of blood down our legs and traumatizing ALL of us, even Line, who is way more forgiving towards Charlie. No one is able to walk up the stairs without watching their backs the entire time, knowing that Charlie is about to eat your feet alive at any second. The second you think all is calm as you read on the couch, she attacks any dangling limbs she sees. As the mom, I'm tired of any tears that I can prevent...we have more than our fair share as it is. And if she's not careful, there's going to come a day when the girls aren't going to have any more patience with her stalking habits. Since I'm trying to avoid that, it's surgery time.
When I told the bigger girls what the first surgery was for, they were disappointed that she wouldn't have any babies. I told them that it was highly improbable that that would ever have happened anyway, since she's an inside cat and isn't ever in the right scene for a little hanky-panky. They all giggled at what they thought was a very risque joke for Mom to say outloud, and then Line replied, "Ohhh...but she's so attractive!" Poor Charlie...apparently all her good looks are for naught.
Now. Are there any surgeries out there for another lady who feels like she could use a couple of tweaks to her always-sad, always-tired, always missing her old life while trying to adjust to her new one personality, before those she loves decide they might just not have enough patience for her anymore? *sigh*
