Persia's home! But she was so upset on the ride home she got sick in her
carrier again. We pulled into a gas station and I cleaned up as much of the
vomit as I could with paper towels but she was still a mess. The fleece
liner of the Sherpa bag was just covered in the stuff. And she kept trying
to jump out of the carrier. I was terrified she'd manage to get out of the
car and run off, so I said to heck with it, let's just go.

The minute I got home I took the carrier straight into the bathroom and shut
the door. Turned on the water to let it warm up. Opened the carrier and
plopped her in the tub. You should have seen the expression on her face!
What the heck are you doing putting me in this tub with the water running?
Hmmm, why are you holding that shower nozzle... hey, wait! You're getting
me all wet! Stop that!

I got her rinsed off but she wasn't about to sit still for me rubbing her
down with a towel. She jumped into the litterbox and got (clean) cat litter
all over her wet paws. I picked her up again and got her paws rinsed off,
then opened the bathroom door and away she went.

She's now feverishly attempting to lick herself dry. As she walks around
she stops periodically to shake first this paw then that paw. It looks like
she's doing a strange little dance

Apparently I'm already forgiven. She let me put her new collar on her, and
she's begging for scritches and purring up a storm.

I'm sure she is very, very happy to be at home, after her long ordeal.
