basically this is a cat you never want to see looking more confused than she already does. she resembles a beanbag that has lost half its “beans” (IQ points) through a tiny hole in one corner. this is not madame curie. this is miette.

I want to say she is looking a TINY bit better this morning though still very scared. she’s hiding under the blanket next to me, occasionally purring when I touch her head with the Healing Stone. thank you for all the love, I will keep you updated!

official diagnosis from her vet: miette most likely ate a lizard and tripped so hard that she lost control of her body from the neck down and went temporarily blind for 36 hours. her bloodwork is completely normal but she will go forth as someone who has Seen God.

this originally happened during an episode of stargate: sg1. and Jason and I were crying in the car that we were never going to be able to watch stargate again. it was the one where they join a seattle sex cult dedicated to erotically worshiping the great god Seth.

and as we were carrying an insensate miette through the living room the tv was paused on sam carter’s face trying to seem so horny for Seth. she looked like a Precious Moment that had been specially issued to commemorate the death of JFK. and both of us were sobbing out loud.

there it is. and in the background I’m frantically passing a hand back and forth in front of miette’s completely black, nightmare portal eyes and whimpering, “jason … she cannot see me!”pic.twitter.com/gxykz9BTtF
