Crow the cat didn't eat anything last night and didn't eat anything this morning, so I took her in to find out what specific form of badness she has going on and whether it's something we can treat for a while. (Jury is still out on that part -- it's looking like either the bad form of lymphoma or the worse form of lymphoma, plus something else that is making her jaundiced.)
Crow the cat, "helping" me write
While she was at hospital number one (before transferring to hospital number two), she bit one of the technicians putting her IV catheter in.
If that wasn't bad enough, she is two months overdue on her rabies vaccination. I mean, she's an inside cat, I haven't seen any dead bats in the house, and she's probably well-protected from all the vaccinations she's had in the past, but still.
If she dies within the next ten days (which I give pretty good odds on at this point), legally they need to cut off her head and send it to the state to test for rabies.
So, yeah, someday this is going to be really funny. Just not so much today.

I’m so very sorry you’re going through this. It’s the worst of the worst.
In my limited interactions with cats, I’ve noticed they don’t like being considered predictable (one of their best traits, in my opinion). Crow already may be planning a way to give the middle paw to the 10-day prognosis.
