judecorpHoly crap, I almost had a heart attack just now.
The phone rang and it was one of the vets from the emergency vet place where Daedalus was treated, and she was very chipper and said she was calling to check on how he was doing. So I said he seemed to be doing great, thanks. Blah blah, she asks me if he is eating and I didn't realize his eating was a concern so I said, "Uhh, yeah I assume so, he eats in the basement so I don't know for sure but he seems to be." And then she said, "Great great... are you thinking about shaving him?"
??
So I stammer, "Uhh, I don't think so, no," and she says, "Well, just make sure to brush him really well then, because of those hairballs." And D makes the hacking sound but has NEVER coughed up a hairball so I think to myself, well, they bathed him so they must have noticed the couple of mats (from shedding) on his back that I need to take care of and I say, "Yeah, he has those mats, I need to be better about brushing him," and she says something like, "Yeah well, I guess you'll have to just keep on with the hairball medicine then and be really diligent about brushing because with an obstruction like that, it could happen again..."
????
"Umm... I think you have the wrong cat." Please let her have the wrong cat.
Apparently there was another cat named Daedalus who was treated surgically yesterday because he had a hairball obstructing his stomach or intestine or something. Can you imagine? Another Daedalus in the Valley?
Gah.
