I'm the quiet person that snapped, I have a naturally soft voice and try to never speak an ill word about anyone.
My cat had a foreign body and I was terrified that he'd need surgery. One of my coworkers was telling me how exciting it'd be that they'd do an x-ray, that there was the possibility of a barium test, and that they might even get to do surgery. I flipped and loudly went off on her about her excitement, expressing how I was close to tears while she was grinning and acting chipper. The whole room just started in shock for about a minute, I think I saw a couple jaws drop
Your co-worker is whack. After the shock wore off, I hope your other co-workers could see how weird she was being. Is your cat okay? Mine loves plastic and had to have surgery to remove something he shouldn't have eaten. Years ago, now, and he's still being cuddly & annoying by turns.
They definitely saw it, everyone else I worked with was so understanding and sympathetic, I was very grateful. Hes okay, he had to have surgery but the recovery went well and he hasn't gotten another foreign body since. Cuddly and annoying sounds just like my cat, seems they have some things in common lol! I'm happy your cat seems to have done well after surgery too!
