Of course I will be thinking of Patience. Poor thing she must have been scared stiff of being abandoned, bud don't worry she will know that you will never do that to her as soon as you go and pick her up.

You are doign for her own good after all. Please remind me I said this when I'll bring my cat Maya to have the same thing done at the end of the month .

Take care and please give a big hug to Patience as soon as she comes home.
