The next time you feel like you're having a bad day ...

... consider that you probably didn't have two midnight digital rectal exams and an enema that your walnut brain isn't smart enough to connect to the 12 inches of ribbon you ate two days ago.

While I was sitting in the waiting room, I kept thinking about how similar the emergency clinic experience was from my cat's perspective to the stereotypical alien abduction story. He was minding his own business, a little uncomfortable maybe, but then all of a sudden, he was in the carrier, outside, in the dark, in the car, moving ... and then it all went to hell.

I learned last night that a cat's digestive tract will turn red curling ribbon orange. Seriously, though, eating string and ribbon can be very bad for cats. We got lucky that it wasn't worse.

On a side note, anybody know the best way to get a massive amount of petroleum out of a longhaired cat's matted buttfluff? Poor Percy.
