That's awful! I would be mad too. Poor little Micah. How is he doing now?

I agree with the others, start looking for a pet sitter, start with your vet for referrals, interview the pet sitter, possibly at your house with the cats present. Nothing like seeing an interaction to help you decide.

Your kitties are too important to have you worry about whether or not your instructions were followed. I know if any of us PT'ers lived close enough to you, we would have gladly pet sit (since we're all so in love with Micah anyway!), and then you wouldn't have had to come home to that!

Please update us on everybody, are they ok? How's Micah doing? I bet he's glad you're home!

I can't believe that syringe was like that! GROSS! Give Micah lots of hugs!
