I got scared, for real!

Last Monday I took Tulip to the vet, as I've told you.

What I didn't tell you is that evening, Tulip seemed fine. I expected her to be lethargic after she had her annual shot. But she seemed OK.

But on Tuesday, I couldn't find my cat in her usual places, which was worrisome. I kept calling Tulip's name. No response. I  even rattled her food bowl. Not a meow was heard, nor did she run to me.

I thought, "Maybe she died. The vet's shot poisoned her or something!"

🙀

Eventually, I did locate Tulip hunkered down beneath the office desk. I petted her and cooed sweet nothings to her.  Nothing would get her to move. All day, she did not use the litter box once or even get a drink of water. That rattled me!

Never before have I missed my mischief maker as much as I did that day.

FINALLY, around 10pm, Tulip rejoined the living. What a relief!
