Halloween Horror Shows

In honor of Halloween (trick or treating starts in 27 minutes! whee!) and the contest I didn't enter, I'll offer up my nomination for creepy and most disturbing story. "All My Darling Daughters" by Connie Willis, which is found in her book Fire Watch. Just thinking of it creeps me out.

Today I also had a harrowing trip to the Spay/Neuter clinic. Of course, I got lost. Of course, I had to follow Fulton Rd from Lorain to the address I was looking for because I can't be trusted on the highway. And of course it turns out to be right across from the Unique Thrift Store, which I've been to hundreds of times. Of course.

And it turns out that poor Ticky has an abnormally large bladder, which is why he has the huge belly. Isadora is going to set up a vet appointment for him. He's healthy, but he took a while to learn to walk because of the belly and took a while to catch on to the litterbox concept. And i thought he was just dumb. He's sweet. I want him to go to a good home.

So what can be done for Ticky's little belly?

Possibly some sort of surgery, if necessary. I would think that a large bladder might lead to peepee kitty issues. But a trip to Gateway is in the works.
