*epic sadface*

You've never seen anything as sad as a cat you cuddled with three days ago looking at you after you push him away right now because you realized he has fleas. Nothing ever in your whole life. He hasn't gotten any cuddles in three days and I really think it's starting to hurt him.

But! I finally got the flea medicine for him, so cuddles will probably resume tomorrow.

Just thought I'd share the sadness.
