To all the United States kittehs and their families, Happy 4th of July! (or July 4th as some call it :-) That's a true joke - a group of young children was asked what another name for the fourth of July is. So one said "July 4th!")
But we don't get it with this holiday being called Independence Day. WE sure don't get any greater independence! Simba was unceremoniously IMPRISONED in the ptu yesterday and taken to the V-E-T for his shots and checkup. Mom has never before seen a kitty try so hard to break out of a carrier. Once there, he became meek and backed into the back of the carrier with big wide eyes. He passively submitted to all the vet did to him (thankfully, no thermometers). Very glad to come home and throw up a good big hairball on the rug.
The humans went to a concert and fireworks show last night and enjoyed it. We hope all our readers can have an enjoyable day today. We plan on naps and deck time.
Simba, I hope all of your v-e-t exam turned out well. I know you were just putting on a show because no one is braver than my Simba! SIR Simba!!
ReplyDeleteNaps and decktime ( in our case porch time) sound good to us. Enjoy

We like your way of telling your Mom exactly what you thought of the vet visit as soon as you got home. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th of July!
Love those yummy orange tummies! Annie is proud of Simba's hairball. She did one today and didn't even go to the vet. Enjoy your day! Naps and deck time sound great!
ReplyDeleteVet visits are just no fun at all but I hope yours went well. Happy Independence Day everyone!
ReplyDeleteOh no Simba! You had to go to the v-e-t's? At least it's over and we hope everything was okay! Hope all of you have a safe and happy 4th!
ReplyDeleteOh Simba! What humiliation! Hope you're not out on the deck when the fireworks start. Stay safe.
ReplyDeleteyou're right, being locked up in a PTU right before Independence Day is cruel and unusual punishment! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th!
I don't blame you for not wanting to go to the vet, Simba! I hate it too. Last time I did the hairball thing BEFORE going!
ReplyDeleteWe sure hope that vet visit went well, Simba. Happy Fourth of July to you, too!
ReplyDeleteGood work with the hairball Simba. Hope the vet visit went well.
ReplyDeleteHappy Independence Day to you and all of our American friends.
Happy 4th of July!
ReplyDeleteSimba, the mom says Zoey could give you a run for who wants to get out of a carrier more. :) We're sorry you had to go to the v-e-t but we're glad all went well.
I hope you sang them the Song of Our People, and I hope you sang it LONG and LOUD, Simba! Glad they skipped the whole thermometer part. XOXOXO
ReplyDeleteWell the PTU and Vet visit was certainly a bummer...hopefully you won't be revisiting any time soon!
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th of July to your humans!
I think it's time to exercise some of your kitty-independence!
