Oh, they had Maybe on the "good stuff", you can see it in her eyes!
I'm really glad they did, she was in a lot of pain. It was awful holding her when the vet was palpating the abdomen and got to the obstruction. He made a very worried face, and my heart broke, because Maybe was just very distressed. I am so glad it's out of her now, and the pain she's in is - fingers crossed - healing pain, and not 'obstruction' pain.
I will be very happy when she takes food.
I literally don't know if we can afford a collapsible crate right now, even a cheap one. I have $36 in all my accounts, to last me until Monday for everything - food, petrol, everything. I had to clean out my accounts for this.
I have money in Paypal, but that won't clear into my bank accounts until about the same day (and maybe later), so we'll need to figure something out in the meantime, because she will be home before Monday.
At least I'm home 24/7. And we recently invested in some more microfleece throw rugs for the cats (and ourselves), so I can make some comfortable beds on the floor in a couple of rooms and supervise.
but what's the alternative? Raising them with no toys whatsoever?
I was thinking 'oh god, what did she get into,' and when Glen and I realised it was a cat toy we were horrified. I mean you try and be good parents getting these toys to help keep them stimulated, and it almost killed her. :/
We'll still be getting toys, but I'm rethinking what I have to get. I think most 'cat toys' will be off the market now. Thankfully City Farmers has the complete range of Kong cat toys, and I trust Kong more than I trust other brands.
