We’ve learned that getting rid of a cat is almost as hard as throwing away a garbage can! We thought we had found someone to adopt the critter, but the deal fell through at the last minute.
After contacting all of our neighbors, our vet, and all the animal protections agencies in our area – after posting on Facebook and Craig’s List – we finally contacted the Houston SPCA.
They first offered to schedule an “admissions interview” on June 11th, but later found a cancellation at 11 a.m. tomorrow. It’s going to cost us a 100 mile round trip and a $20 admissions fee, but after this weekend the cat will be gone.
Do you see that dark spot on the cat’s nose? I first thought it was a little scab from a scratch, but it turned out to be the end of a blade of grass. I helped hold the cat and Honey pulled it out with some tweezers. The grass went all the way down the kitty’s nostril and into its throat!
I have no idea how or why the grass got up the cat’s nose – cats are not like human toddlers with opposable thumbs who often poke things in their noses – but this is the second time we had seen this. Back when we owned cats on purpose, Honey had to remove a blade of grass from another cat’s nose.
