Hi everyone. So it's been a bad couple of days.
Yesterday our elderly cat had some kind of stroke or other neurological issue. Her movement, demenor, exc all changed dramatically and she wouldn't eat or drink. Got her to the vet, and as expected, she had to be put down. She was old, she had a good life, but it still hurts. This is her:

So I was already not in the best of moods. Then the nearest hotel in our brand had an issue (to put it mildly). A guest decided to have a standoff with police. Nobody got hurt but the cops put the whole place on lockdown, and other guests coming back from dinner and those arriving for the evening were told they couldn't enter. So they were all shunted to our hotel. Which caused a rush we were in no way prepared for given our daily numbers. I was supposed to be off at 8:30pm and didn't end up leaving until 11pm.
Then there was the weird guy with the clipboard hassling people on the train for change. I've seen him before, and he's been told that solicitation on public transit was illegal. I was in no mood for this I told him in no uncertain terms to leave me alone and called transit security. At my transfer point I saw an armed officer talking to him.
Once I got home (at 1am) Hubby, Roomie and I had a crying group hug. Missy was put down this morning.
The one bright spot: A few days ago, a beautiful calico showed up at our door. We weren't going to keep her but think we will now. We named her Autumn and she's been staying in the roommate's room away from our resident adult male cat until we can get them used to each other (and get her checked out). We think she was sent to us because Missy was on her way out. We also think she might be pregnant, and if she is, we're going to give her a safe place to have her babies and find homes for them when they're old enough.
So....KITTENS!
