Do You Think She Knew?

Kitten in NewfoundlandHere’s little 6 month old Monkey. And little 6 month old kittens need to be ‘fixed’ before they can play outside. So last week, it was little Monkey’s turn. These pictures are pre-op – and judging by her demeanor that morning, I’d swear that she knew something was up.

Surgery’s not fun for animals (or anyone for that matter), but it was time. She used to sit by the window and watch Mimi and Shadow frolic in the great outdoors, and look over at me with a face that asked, “What about me?  I want to go outside and play, too.”  And she’s look longingly at Murphy and Friday running around and ask “Why not me, too?”

So, surgery is the price of her freedom, and we’re happy to report that everything went swimmingly. Soon, Monkey will be our exploring the Wonderful World of Whiteway just like the rest of us!
