We went to the vet, one that my friend Angie recommended, and he was very nice and helpful. Miss Kitty behaved herself, nobody needed a band aid. He thinks we might be right with thinking it is a hairball that is bothering her. He gave her hairball medicine and some diet food to get her appetite going again. Should she not eat by Thursday we have to come back in and he will do some bloodwork. I do hope she'll be okay. I was so scared and nervous that I have not eaten all day and I have a whale of a headache. I am going to treat myself to a nice dinner now since I have plenty of calories to splurge on and then I'll probably just fall over and sleep. :) Thank you all for your good thoughts and advice. Miss Kitty is now very mad at us and the rest of the world and hiding under the bed.
Hugs,
Maria
