[why_me_why_not]

My grandkitty Binx is having emergency surgery this evening because his tail fell off. He had an injury about a year and a half ago where he burnt his tail on a space heater, and he never let it heal properly. His other grandma has been working with a vet about him having surgery to remove the necrotic tissue, but he also has a heart murmur (he's got some maine coon in him, and apparently that's a thing with that breed?) so they've been waiting for a kitty cardiologist to clear him for surgery. But his tail just fell off tonight so they have to do surgery to cover the exposed bone and tissue. The vet tech said they're going to give him less anesthesia and more pain meds and do the surgery quick.

Life just keeps happening, y'all.
