So are the days of our lives...

Remember the cat I was taking care of last summer... indefinitely?

Quick little update...
He starting urinating excessively, and I ended up taking him to the vet (i know this story is crazy).
He had diabetes... and promptly after the neighbor returned (and left again), I found myself taking care of him... only this time, my duties involved insulin shots and iron meds.

I haven't taken care of this cat since November and received a note from the owner last week.

Within the letter:

"As you know Marmie passed away in December..."

(insert brakes sound here)

Hold the phone...
"as you know..."???
when would I have known if you hadn't ever told me in person or handwritten it to me ?
which led me to this thought process...
was I supposed to be watching him when he died?
did he pass away the day she came home, and she just assumed I left him there for her to deal with?
this is so messed up!
The cat is still a burden and not even alive anymore!

I can't believe i just blogged about this...
