Cleaning, cat TMI
While it was still dark overnight I went into the back room to try and find a suspected pee spot with the UV torch. No dice. How does a black light not find pee?But it turns out vomit does fluoresce. Normally I cleaned that on the spot but there had been some sneaky (clear) ones I didnāt know about and couldnāt see without the light. So I got in there with a bottle of biological cleaner and a microfibre mitt. Once Iāve found any stray whiskers to save in the front room (I vacuumed the back before she died) Iāll vacuum and repeat the process there.
My poor little girl. Iāve wrapped her urn in the first blanket I ever bought her plus her fanciest one and put her in her favourite bed.
Iām feeling terrible. Massive headache, cramps, miserable inside. I havenāt been out to look for, feed, or pat the black cat since the paper collar attempt because I just havenāt felt up to it.
so many hugs
It doesnāt feel real. I want my baby
