Our Juliet
Our little baby girl, Juliet ( our 1 year old kitten ) had to go back to the vet yesterday… She was spayed 6 months ago.
Now this is not unusual, since I have had female cats before and are used to having them fixed. The difference here is something I had never experienced nor ever heard of before.
You see, 4 days before John and I are to leave for Europe for 2 weeks, Juliet starts this horrible, painful wailing… I was sure she was sick, which totally stressed me out. After about 30 minutes of this crying sound, John looks at me and says “I think she is in heat…” I said impossible, as she was fixed 6 months ago.
John said maybe she is not, but it sure looks like it. Well I had no idea what “heat” looks or sounds like, because I had never had a cat do it before. The closest I got to a cat in heat, was when I was growing up in Point Loma and my sister and I heard a baby crying in our back yard… That was HORRIBLE!
So within the next 4 or 5 hours, the moaning got worse, the crying got louder and Juliet’s butt would stick up in the air if you looked at her, spoke to her, walked past her or even made the slightest noise. Great!Â
So after calling our vet, we learn that it is not uncommon and we will have to have her re-spayed… the trick, Juliet has to be in heat for the doctor to be able to locate the smallest fraction on tissue left behind from the spay.
Well after 4 heats ( yes 4 times we had to endure this torture ) we finally got Juliet back to the vet in heat and it looks like we have a successful fix… I sure hope!
So below is a small video of our babies – enjoy – we sure do!
