Happy News (Feeling Like a Dolt)

So my mother called me today and it appears that my cat just had some sort of uncomfortable butt issues and is having them, ahem, cleansed, and will be fine.

I'm feeling like a dolt a bit because I sort of jumped to conclusions, but you know when your mom calls you in tears and is like 99% certain of an ill-fate, you start to think the worst.

Anyhow, thanks for the condolences, but uh, false alarm. ;-)
