Yeah.. Thanks so much for the support guys and gals. I stopped by the surgery wing today and checked up on them all..

Since I'm an employee at the shelter, they allowed me to go to the back to see them.. They were all sedated..

Mitzi, the white one, was completely knocked out and didn't even open her eyes..

One of the others, Cooper, was starting to walk around, but never managed to make eye contact with me.. The two males, Oliver and Ernie, were both shaking wildly.. But they said that's a normal reaction to the sedative that they use.

Lilah was laying down on her side with her eyes wide open and her mouth open.. She wasn't looking at anything in particular.. She just laid there very still and dazed off.. That scared me because that's exactly how one of my previous cats looked when she died.

Sophie, the mom, looked the best of them all. She was laying on her stomach with her paws tucked beneath her forearms very politely.. She was the only one who was aware that I was there, and who made eye contact with me.

She seemed very awake.. And was the only one wearing a cone.. I assume they did her first.

I'll probably see them tomorrow at work.. I didn't cry when I went back to check on them today.. Which was nice.

This morning when I dropped them off the lady behind the desk asked for my last name and I couldn't even say it because I was crying and I had to write it down..
