Kitten from Hell update.
This was supposed to be a story about how KfH broke the carrot nose off of my brand new Dr. Snowman Christmas tree ornament. The ornament that I’d bought less than an hour before, that I was going to tweak into a VMD snowman. The one that I’d left in the bag on the table unattended for just a few minutes. But that was before I turned my back on the peanut butter and Hershey’s kisses cookies I made while they were cooling.
KfH ate three chocolate kisses off the cookies, and somehow found a fourth wrapped chocolate that she managed to bite the top off of.
All my warnings to people about chocolate toxicity in animals, and I go and try to poison my own animal. In my own defence, I have never heard of a chocolate toxicity case in cats. Cat’s aren’t supposed to like sweets. They aren’t supposed to like chocolate. That’s a piss-poor defence, though.
This, on top of her recovering from pancreatitis. It could have killed her. It still might, if it causes a pancreatitis flare up again. I’m just lucky it was milk chocolate and not semisweet, or she would have had a toxic dose.
I’d like to say something flip like “let that be a lesson to me”, but I’m too sick at heart right now.
