MiaoMiao's back!

As I am writing this
I am chaperoning MiaoMiao,
who is quite soundly asleep.


Quite.
She refuses to sleep when there's nobody accompanying her

*****************************************************

We collected MiaoMiao from the vet at 5.30pm
and boy, MiaoMiao must have thought that
we were abandoning her,
'cos when she saw us,
she gave a meow, like "You are here!"


How could we ever abandon you?


She's become skinnier, a lot.
For some reason or other
her whole lower body was more sunken,
even though (as what I thought),
only a uterus was removed


I wonder how big a cat's uterus is.


Instructions from the vet clinic were:
1. Keep on the e-collar (short for Elizabethan-collar) for 10 days
2. No bathing for 10 days
(still within manageable scope)

.

.

.

5. No jumping
6. No running

(Which is rather hard,
since it is exactly what she usually does at home)



At home,
we let her out of the carrier,
and it was evident that she was super weak,
pretty much still under the effects of anthanesia,
yet trying not to sleep,
struggling to keep her eyelids open


Like with her usual habit
she made an attempt to jump up onto the bed,
however she was really too weak
and tumbled sideways down the bed,
just as her front paws touched the side of the bed


Then from then on
someone had to follow her every minute
making sure she didn't jump, run,
anything which might aggravate her surgery wound


She seems a little irritated
that I keep following her everywhere,
but bear with it a little MiaoMiao!


Popo even called home to see how MiaoMiao was
(See? MiaoMiao,
even if Popo keeps laughing at you
in your most unglam moments,
she still cares about you right?)
