Trigger warning: Pet lovers, this is not a happy story. Just a heads up. I have some content incoming-- Over the past few weeks, I've had some cat-related trauma. Some names withheld as they are connected to my non-pen name. We found a stray 8-week old kitten on death's door. Thanks to my cat Clyde -- a five-year-old bruiser of a grey tabby-- we were able to lure him in so we could help him. He's a little patchwork white/tiger print guy. Had a broken leg, and a bot-fly. You may not want to look up the last one. It's kinda gross. Anyway, he's doing well save a limp. We decided to keep him, named him Ippo. It suits him. The botfly scar makes 'Kenshiro' a good name for him too. But with that, my oldest cat-- a proverbial mini-panther-- was fighting a thyroid issue. In the morning I found out 'Black Panther' had passed, I'd found my guy passed out a foot away from his cat bed. So I waited for the hour or so to take him to the vet, it was too early for them to be open. That
