I just returned with her from the vet. She is "a perfect 9.0 lbs and one of their sweetest patients." Now, I need to wash the 3,000 hairs off of me from fighting with her to get her in the cage and get on to the shore with friends.
Enjoy shabbos!

"I was nice to the vet but you, I'm not talking to."
ReplyDeleteKids these days, putting pets in a cage for a vet visit. Back when I lived among cats we used to take our siamese cats to the vet loose in the car. (Though we had 5 cats, we never took more than one to the vet at a time.) More often than not it draped itself over my shoulders, dug its claws in, and howled most horridly into my ear.
I never thought of shoving them into a cage. With my kitties it would be like sticking my arm into a wood chipper.
Willy, I did not want to cage her. I tried it twice and she freaked out. She went commando into the LEATHER SEATS car and vet office in my arms. I tried caging her because the last time I took her sans cage, we were at the weekend house vet, and he asked me NOT to do that again. (He was single and hot in fairness.)
ReplyDeleteIt was the Dixie Cup Vet who abused her in front of me and shoved her in the cage. I won't talk about it here, but my friends all think I should fire the vet and report her for cruelty to my kitty baby. I am still shell shocked from observing. We'll be sticking with the partner vet who is much more reasonable and is kitty's gal pal.
P.S. The photo is actually from a year ago when she went in the cage all on her own after she put her toys in it.
P.P.S. She is part Siamese. You can see it on her belly and around her eyes. Sooo cute.

ReplyDeleteIs that vet primarily a 'big animal' doctor? I grew up in WI so I know there are big animal vets who don't like to treat pets, unless it's a bull or a horse.
I'm a sucker for shorthair cats. My dream is to own a whole litter of burmese kittehs. Unfortunately, Mrs. Fallsdownalot is allergic so I must live the kittyful life vicariously.
No, she was just a Doogie Howser who looked hung over and well, kind of stupid too.
