Just got back from taking Little Black Sambo to the vet for his band aid and shot of meds. . . little did I know. They took him back to look at the broken tail and came back and said
THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE TO AMPUTATE!!!
and would I sign this surgery release and did I want the pre surgery blood work and the post op pain meds and sign here and bla bla bla.
I looked like that picture as I drove away. My poor baby. I thought I as going to throw up having to leave there without him.
Then I started laughing and got some perspective, he’s going to be fine, it’s all good. I called in to the salon and my whole day has re-scheduled so I have NOTHING on the books. I’m now making myself finish some breakfast, post this, change clothes and go in to sit for awhile and get some hours. Today will be the day I finally get my oil changed and I can pick him up when he’s ready around 4.
Send me strength people. If I ever had human children, you’d just have to send me to The Betty.
do we think George would visit?
Misti Ridiculous 
Now he’s a bobtail cat.You can call him SamBob.And now he has a story.Everycat’s gonna be like, “Dude, what happened to your tail?” And he’s gonna be all nonchalant and cool and probably say, “Got tired of it.” (No tail is was more mysterious on account of how much emotion cats show with their tails, you know.)Or maybe he’ll tell the real tale of the tail…the one we shall never know, but strikes fear in the hearts of country cats far and wide.All hail the cat with no tail!

Oh I feel your pain. Here in our office we have many questions. How much was missing at first? How far up will they amputate? Was it bleeding when he came in this morning? Did the vet have any guesses as to what had happened? If a train leaves New York at 8:53 am….

Little black Sambo and his Halloween tail. No doubt a sacrafic made in the line of duty protecting the pumpkin patch. Knowing how you long for a tial and feel about tails… I know this really hits home for you. Also that it is your CAT! I have to say I I came home after a night out missing an appendage on the town by Nonna’s rules I would have been grounded! May be you should talk to him.Never the less… my rules are a lot of tender loving care and a whole lot of love. And without a doubt I will visit you at the Betty. But thats it. And only if they don’t look at me funny when I do.
