Lucy=not a fan of the car. Which of course means a very long car ride (especially because we randomly have a vet in EXCELSIOR...), and a very ornery cat when we get to the vet.
Well, last night we had a new vet (who was amazing...much better than our last one that wanted to put Lucy under so she could clean her teeth..) and HE didn't believe Lucy was that old. He kept making statements like "She is living on borrowed time," "MAN, she has had a good run" and so on. I left confused as to if he was saying those things because she is sick and going to die soon or he was just so impressed with what her condition is.The vet did bloodwork and we could hear Lucy crying behind the door. He came back in, looking quite surprised, and informed us that Lucy has some 'fight left in her, as she tried to get away from the needle.'
So turns out Lucy has...ANEMIA (what?!?). I am not kidding you when I say the vet looked completely shocked that it wasn't kidney disease. I am pretty sure he was already working on his "Your cat has kidney disease, here is the timetable" speech. So apparently Lucy is switching to the good life with wet food, and we'll see what happens from there.
Lucy lives...

That is good news. Hopefully this will help the state of mind. This does help temper the inevitable which is yet to come, but know this, you kids are doing the best you can to make Lucys life the best it can be.

I already told you: your cat is haunted. whether it is the bunny from your garden or some crazy Indian burial ground that your house is built on, she is haunted. anemia was just some weird coincidence. tell lucy hi from one of her favorite humans!
Dear Lucy,
You are the cat's meow.
