Because I was lazy
It is 3:48 am on Christmas Eve. "Why the heck are you awake?" you must be wondering (or maybe you are not, but NOW you are). Well. My little Goober cat had a small accident.
You see, earlier I was playing with Gooby and Portia with their cat toys. And then, I wasn't feeling like I had to really put up their toys (in a non reachable area) and decided to put it up kind of half-assed (along with their other supplies).
I walk out, commence with the surfing of the web when I hear a very loud crash. Assuming that they had dropped the cat toys and should not be a LARGE problem, I am (stupidly) like, "Not a big deal" and go on my merry way.
Cut to two (or three?) hours later where my brother's friend is stranded at ATL airport and we have gone to pick her up and brought her back to our house. As she likes cats, I bring her down to see the cats.
We discover Goober with the most enomerous eye EVER. BIG FAT RED AND SWOLLEN (oh, did I mention that his third eye lid came out so it basically looked like a really gross white eyeball?) Apparently when he dropped the cat toy, the bottle of dental medicine crap dropped on his eyeball (or maybe it was the nail clippers, or the toys itself, regardless, something dropped on his eyeball and he commenced with scratching it for THREE HOURS)
Begin Ginger freak out ("OMG OMG OMG OMG").
So we find our way over to the ER clinic (which, btw, shares a sign with the 24 hr Krystals, so it's like, 24 hour clinic? 24 hour Krystals to keep your tummy happy while you freak out about your pet) where we are informed that Goober has a HUGE ASS ulcer on his eyeball. And to fix it (with the ER treatment) costs well over $150. Gooby is his perfect charming self at the hospital (ie lots of pain), but they inject him with stuff to numb his pain and he becomes a huge pain in the ass on the ride home.
So now, Gooby has one large Elizabethean collar on his neck, I am out about two hundred bucks, and I am one Krystals Chicken sandwich + fries fatter.
Merry xmas, y'all.
