Sad & Confused

This morning I had to drop my cat off at the vet for her shots and spaying. Caleb was with me and he was confused as to why we had to LEAVE her there. He loves this cat SO much. When we got her, he is the one who named her (Leia Princess Leia). He totes her all over the house. I think the feelings are mutual. I have even caught her "cleaning" his hair. I had to draw the line when I found out he had been licking her fur to "clean" her as well. EEWWWW!!! Back to the point....He was so sad at the thought of leaving his friend at the vet and couldn't grasp what she was there for. I finally had to tell him that Leia was there to have a "sleep over" with all of her cat friends. That seemed to make sense to him and he was ok to leave her. What a sensitive little sweetie!
