Too Tired
I was so asleep this morning I nearly stabbed the wrong cat.
Seriously.
I got up at 7am as usual, fed the cats then got out the insulin and syringes to give Charlie his morning shot. I filled the syringe and knelt down to stab the cat. I was petting the cat in preparation for the pinching of skin that precedes the shot then I looked down and saw that the fur was white-grey instead of black. I realized I had the wrong cat. So I moved over and gave the shot to the diabetic cat (Charlie) instead of poor, fat, but not diabetic Kathryn.
Goodness what an awful mishap that would have been! I am a bit startled and terrified at how close I came to giving an insulin shot to the wrong cat.
Let that be a lesson to you - beware of sleepy people wielding syringes.
And make sure you are fully awake before administering medications.
