“So, what did they say? How bad is it?” you ask, hanging up your jacket.

“Didn’t you get my text?”

You did get his text, but the [eggplant] [cat] [arrow] [house] [doctor] [tooth] [ syringe] [scissors] [question mark] [exclamation mark] [fish] [fish] [smiley face] barrage of emojis had been as inscrutable as always. You need him to tell you with his words.

With an exaggerated sigh, Flea gives in and explains, “It was her tooth—it’s all rotten and shit. Vet said it’s normal for long-term strays.”

“When do we have to take her back to get it taken out?” And how much is it going to cost?

Flea shakes his head. “No, when I say rotten—it fell out in the vet’s hand while she was digging around in there.”

“Poor Tabby!”
- “Nah, she’s fine now,” Flea says with a grin. “Sucked up two cans of cat food as soon as we got back, so I’d say our girl’s back in business.”
“Is she feeling better?”
- “Well, she sucked up two cans of cat food as soon as we got back,” Flea says with a grin. “So, you tell me.”
Oh, thank god. You can not afford surgery right now.
- Flea watches you for a quiet second before giving an easy grin. “Anyway, the important thing is she’s doing just fine now. Sucked up two cans of cat food as soon as we got home.”

You look around, but Tabby’s nowhere to be seen. You guess she’ll be giving the two of you the cold shoulder for a while, for the indignity of it all.
