Finally Friday

Kitties, Mom can't post my picture about it now, but I HAVE TO TELL YOU that yesterday my humans hauled me off to the v-e-t place!!   Oh, my, did I sing songs on the way there.  AND Dad did not warm the car up beforehand, so it was halfway there before the car was even semi warm (it was a super cold and windy day).



Here it may look like I was talking, but I was actually PANTING for a short while.   STRESS will do that to you,  kitties!


Anyhoo, I did NOT want to exit my PTU!      The v-e-t and Dad together turned the PTU on end and tried to pour me out, but I hung on for dear life inside.  The v-e-t was very kind, though, and took his time, and eventually I came out.

Even though I have lost 0.5 to 1 lb since last year, he said I look healthy and he thinks it is because of the change of feeding routines since Audrey came to live with us.     The humans discussed my vaccinations and together it was decided to keep my leukemia vaccine up to date by getting it once a year, but to let my distemper vaccine go for every 3 years, because I really hardly ever am outside.   My rabies vaccine lasts for 3 years and didn't need to be redone.

I was very very glad to come home and Audrey didn't even notice the v-e-t place smells on me.  In fact, for the first time last night she tried a couple of licks of grooming me!!    I was so surprised.

  2. Aaackkk! What an ordeal, Simba. But we're glad it was just routine and that you're home now.

    We've never been bothered by v-e-t smells either, not even when Annie came back after her 5-day stay.

    A happy and safe weekend to you all!

  3. We thought we heard something tuneful....... That is most horrible for you and we can imagine only too well the claws grabbing onto the box for dear life. We hope the torturous thermometer was not too vile......
    And Audrey licked you - how sweet! She must have missed you. We hope you are recovering from your ordeal now and can relax - hopefully it will be a year before you have to go back.

  5. Simba, that is awful! Thank Cod you are home and done with the vet for another year. Nothing is worse than singing in a cold car!

  6. A cold car is just so wrong! I am glad that ordeal is over and it sounds like you are set for another year!

  7. It was nice that the vet was relatively gentle with you and did not give you tons of shots and poke you a lot. And I get it about the heater; one time the PM was taking me for a very long drive and the heater went out (this was in December). It's COLD out there! P.T.

  8. Sorry you had to go to the vet pal... I love the description of you clinging inside the PTU when they tipped it on end. Good try, but they do eventually make us come out to be examined... Glad to hear you're healthy.... YEA!!!

    pawhugs, Max

  10. What a day you had. Poor baby - I can sympathize because I was hauled off to the v.e.t. only a couple of weeks. Even tho the people are nice, it's not a fun place to go. So happy you are doing so well. Now maybe they'll leave you alone for a year. Whew!

  13. Oh my poor darling! (BTW, that's the HUMAN calling you "darling"--I mean, I like you and all, Pal, but there are some limits.) Here she is again: Why, you are just the best boy ever, Simba! (And what am *I*, Human??)

    Anyway, before this gets out of hand, we both wish you a peaceful, quiet night of recovery from your traumatic experience. We is glad Audrey tried to make you feel better by grooming you.

    OMC Simba, it is so undignified what they did to you, cramming you in there and hauling you off somewhere!! But I'm glad you made it through with only 1 shot. Good for Audrey for trying to get the smells off you.

  18. That sounds horrible! I have a feeling that some of us here will be visiting the vet soon...I'm purrsonally up to date, but certain other cats...who shall remain nameless...might be due for their boosters...::cough:: Nigel...

    Oopsss...didn't mean to say that...

  19. We wish we hadn't read that we are both due for our annual revues and stabbings at the v-e-t place before the end of this month - anyone got any hints on how to sabotage mum's car?
