The Knitting Maevan

Panic. I'm currently waiting for Pat to arrive so that we can get Byron to the Cat Hospital. While getting ready this morning, I heard what I thought was Maybelle growling or fighting with one of the boys. When putting on my shoes to leave for school, I noticed drops of blood by the door. Many of them. So, I check Byron and The Professor, both seemed unscathed, so I hunt down Maybelle, who is also fine. I then hear the noise again. Byron was coughing. I don't know what happened. He was fine this morning, but now, he weezes, he coughs and he can't stand to be touched at all.

After freaking out because I have no money to bring him in and no ride to get him there, I call Pat. He has an exam at noon today. I panic. I call the cat hospital, they can get Byron in for 10 or 1. I call my parents place, no answer. Fuck. I call Pat back and he can take me and Byron in and pay for everything. Life saver. Now, I'm holding back tears, waiting. Watching my cat, whom I love dearly, sit in pain, occasionally coughing and weezing. What happened? I hope it wasn't a mistake on our part that caused this.

[Edit:] He swallowed a pin. I blame myself and I'm beating myself up about it. I was sewing last night and I forgot to clean them up. This morning, the table was used to make lunch. He thought it was food. They are trying to remove the pin now. [/Edit]

[Edit. 12:38:] He's fine. Apparently, he had bitten down on a threaded needle. Thanks to the thread being present, the vet was able to remove it without a problem. *phew* [/Edit]
