It is with great sadness that I write this post and say goodybye to my sweet Maggie. Approximately 12 years ago, on the day we were moving into our new house in Yonkers, Jen brouht home a little kitten. Jen was suppose to leave work early that day but she got a little tied up with some cases. She was about to walk out the door that afternoon when a vet-technician said to her, “Hey Dr. Jen, I think you better take a look at this kitten, it’s pretty messed up.” Jen told the technician to clean up the kitten and she would check her out in the morning. The technician quickly replied, “I think you better look at her now.” When Jen examined the little kitten, she immediately noticed that her right eye was infested with maggots. Jen had no choice but to perform emergency surgery to remove the eye from this little fragile kitten. Back at the aprartment, we had already packed up the truck and were about to head over to our new house when Jen pulled up and got out of the car with something obviously wrapped up in her shirt. She came over to me and apoligized for being late and explained how she had this kitten wrapped up in her shirt that she just had to take home because she was afraid the kitty wouldn’t make it through the night. She explained that she had to perform surgery to remove the maggot infested eye from this poor little kitty. The kitten made it through the surgery and was named affectionately “Maggie” after the maggots! We nursed little Magie back to health, we fell in love with her and decided to keep her. The rest is history! She was such a wonderful, funny social and friendly cat. Anyone who has met her can attest to that. Losing a pet really does SUCK! If you’re not a pet person please forgive this long post and rant. However, if you are a pet person, you feel my pain. What more can I say? We’ve had to put down two of our seven cats in the past few weeks and we’re really devated by this. I pray that Maggie didn’t suffer too much. Maggie, I’ll see you again sometime in the future.
