What's the required apology time...

...for taking the cat to the dentist?  The Duz

( (Cat spam) )

went to the vet's for a routine tooth cleaning and wound up getting an extraction.  He had an abcess, and he's such a sweetie, neither I nor the vet even guessed.  There are always surprises with foundling cats.  At least this is fixable.  
Poor guy's in hiding.  When he emerges, we'll start the antibiotic and the pain med.  The worst part is he'll need a check-up in six months.
I'm going to be apologizing forEVER!
Hugs,
Jean Marie
