My cat is sick.

I'm not home much during the week, because I go to work and then to class, and when I get home I usually just crash. I didn't see Evil Kitty Thursday night, or Friday... but last night when my friend Joey dropped by he let Evil Kitty in with him.

Evil Kitty comes in the house and collapses. We were both like "What the fuck?" and it seemed like EK couldn't walk. Joey checked him for injuries but couldn't find anything wrong with him. I freaked out and sent rapid IMs to Alex (our child was sick, for God's sake!). I let EK sleep with me last night, and I kept waking up to check on him and when I did, he was still right beside me. He started meowing and I sleepily put my hand out to try to find him to pet him. He put his little paw on my hand. *sniff*

This morning I couldn't stand it, so I had to call two emergency vets. I mean, the poor thing can't walk but a few steps before collapsing. I started crying, I couldn't help it. One of the vets called me back a few minutes later, and I met him out in Southside. He was a nice man. (but oh dear God he was wearing these really short shorts, and he bent over to pick something up and NO! GOD NO! DEAR GOD NO ARRGAAAHHHHHGG!!!) He took a look at the cat and couldn't find anything wrong with him right off.

Evil Kitty had to stay overnight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(And he's all alone and what if it's cold? And the vet took the collar off.. what if he thinks I don't want him anymore because he can't walk? What if the dogs are barking at him? I hope he eats, or drinks some water. He's all ALONE!!)

Poor kitty.

Plus, I missed church. And I don't know if I mentioned this, but I've been begging God to meet me there for two weeks, and last Sunday I didn't go cause I ended up spending the night with Sonya cause my car had a flat, and THIS Sunday my cat can't walk. I'm kinda scared for next Sunday to roll around.
