3/6

baabar needed to have his teeth cleaned
which is a rather big deal with cats
as it requires them to be
completely anesthetized

we took baabar to the vet friday morning
and when i returned
ava was already freaked out
all day she was looking at me like
"what did you do with baabar?"
"did you eat him?"
"are you going to eat me too?"

when we brought baabar back in the evening
she was nowhere to be found
baabar was running all over
looking for her

we finally located her
under the bed in the guest room
(i had already checked there 2 times)

she didn't have dinner
and when she finally emerged
she wouldn't let baabar anywhere near her
she just hissed
and growled
she sounded like the demon in the exorcist
i think she thought he had turned into an alien
(it must have been the "vet" smell on his fur)

anyway this behavior extended to us as well
she wouldn't let us pet her
and she spent most of the day hiding

today she started warming up to us
(not to baabar however)
as you can see from this picture
she is fairly relaxed
and her little paws
are making kneading gestures
