God is smiling on me today. Not only did He allow Marigold to live through the night, but he managed to find a spot for me with my vet today at 3:00. I was at the counter checking in Serena and Rosco for a neuter and begging the girls to get me in with Steve. They were telling me they absolutely couldn’t do that and I would have to drop off Marigold and they would see if Steve had time to see her. I didn’t want to do that because if she isn’t going to be here, I want to be with her to the end. While I was standing there filling out the paperwork, their phone rang and it was a cancellation! YAY! So at 3:00 today- Marigold will be seen. Jedi got a reprieve on the spay as she is still to small but Serena had come along for the ride and she was big enough.

When I got home, I took my flea comb and went upstairs to groom Marigold if she will let me. Because of her depleted state, I only wanted the flea comb as they are so gentle for the cats.

I sat down next to where she was laying on the floor and started gently to comb her. Before I knew it-she was in my lap! What a heartbreaker she is! I got her as tidied up as I could and she was lousy with fleas (dead ones thank God as I advantaged her last night) and flea eggs. She didn’t want to get out of my lap- so I bribed her with food. She has the displaced pigment of a senior kitty- BUT it may just be that neglect, stress and malnutrition has contributed to that. Her teeth are yellow,but again- neglect and stress can cause that. I will wait and see what the vet says about her- but I am praying she will come back home with me- because, I have a confession to make here: she has already found a place in my heart.
