Athena lost her tail sometime between 9 am and 12 pm 5/26/12. 
on 5/25/12 I had decided to keep her in a critter keeper (till i can fashion a sterolite tub), because the 10 gallon tank was scaring her and she wasn't finding her food. so i set to work cleaning out the cages and i moved my male into the 10 gallon tank and her in to critter keeper. i also moved them to my bedroom. while in the critter keeper she found her food and water and even sat on her gargoyle again. feeling happy about the cleaning and switch i went to bed.
(due to alot of stress and home issues i have been getting little to no sleep, and if i'm not restless, i sleep like i'm comatose)
before yesterday the cats had left them alone, so this kind of shocked me.
around 9 i hear a thud, i fly out of bed to find Juju And O'Mally (sister and brother bobtail cats) had knocked off my spray bottle and i quickly shoo'd them out, spraying them and the entire way, and closed my door. somehow they had gotten back in, (my mother may have opened my door to check on me) and when i awoke around 12 i looked over at where Athena was supposed to be to find her gone, keeper and all . jumped out of bed sending blankets, pillows and a stuffed fox flying, only to find O'Mally crouched over my poor Athena, with Juju blocking her escape . i gently snatched Athena up and started hysterically screaming for my mother, she comes and shoo's the cats out. i call my best friend who has had a gecko and cat encounter much like this, except her gecko got bit on the inside of a back leg. she comes and checks her out, says she is fine, a little shaken but fine. we found her tail, which had been carried under my bed. thanks ever so much BAD JUJU!!!!
(cats were disciplined and are not allowed in my room till further notice!!!)
please i beg don't come at me like i'm the worst pet owner in the world. i have been beating myself up all day, i even feel guilty for punishing the cats.
