my poor kitty has had a very rough day today. i took her to the kennel today and while it's a really nice place, she really hates being away from me. it's different when i'm not home; she's still in her home and surrounded by me and things she knows. and when i took her to my office she was actually pretty content because i was there with her. but yesterday when i left her in the kennel she was so obviously unhappy. and when i went to pick her up today, she barely could contain her displeasure. she just kept hissing and growling in the corner of the kennel. she wouldn't let anyone touch her. and even me she was upset with, although i was able to calm her down after many minutes of letting her smell me and talking sweetly to her and eventually calming her down, but she was so nervous and agitated and scared and sad and angry. poor Amaya. i felt so bad about her. she's been excited to be back home tonight and running around and playing, but still i can sense she's a little tense from her troubled day. she keeps meowing at me and wanting attention. and i'm trying to love her, as best as she'll let me. i love my cat so much. i wish i could keep her happy all the time, but i know i can only do what i can do as best as i can do for her.
