While I am doing alot better than I was when I first joined DS (a HUGE thank you to everyone here) I still only have my cat as the main person in my life. Yesterday, she escaped while I was packing my car to drive 4 hours to be my best friend's maid of honor. The manager of my apartment decided to scatter mouse poison all over where pets and kids can get to it and eat it ( 2 feet away from the sidewalk!).

My cat got into it. I took her to the vet, they pumped her stomach and gave her some meds. The vet said she should be fine, and i had to leave her at home by herself. I feel so terrible for leaving her! She was all I had during the break up. I'm glad my friend was understanding, especially since I missed all the rehersals :(. Because i still live away from my family and friends, there is no one that could watch her. I'm leaving right after the reception to go home.

I know one day my kitty will pass (shes 15). But the guilt I feel is awful. I Know some people hate cats or dont get the whole pet thing, but its amazing the ties you have to an animal.
