Shhh!

Don’t tell the cats, but they’re going to the vet this morning.

    Bwahahahahahahahahahaha! [mine is an evil laugh]

    Yeah…good luck with that.

    RUN CATS! SHE’S TAKING YOU TO THE VET AND THE VET IS GOING TO POKE YOU WITH THINGS! HIDE UNDER THE COUCH!

    Wait, they don’t actually know how to read, do they?

    Uhm… what’s their cell phone number…? I need to call and ask them… uh… about… uh… something. But it has nothing to do with going to the veterinarian. Nothing! Not at all! I… uhm… I won’t even mention it! At all! To the cats! What’s their number?

  4. Michelle Says:

    You’re too late Eric. We’re home, cats were poked and prodded and found to be healthy, including their weight.

    I really like the new (to us) vet and his assistants. Plus, they’re closer.

  5. Nathan Says:

    Did they do that EYES POPPING WIDE OPEN thing when the vet shoved the thermometer up their butts?

    I love that! (to be clear…I only love it when the cats are the ones on the receiving end.)

    (Nathan said “end”.)

  6. Eric Says:

    NOOOOO! I WAS TOOOOO LAAAAAATE!

    Oh, the felinity!

  7. WendyB_09 Says:

    Just remember paybacks are hell. They’ll sulk for a while, every pet does when they’ve been vetted.

  8. Michelle Says:

    Um… Nathan? The vet doesn’t take their temperature, so there are no anal probes–feline or otherwise.

    Y’all have some strange vets in NYC.

    Wendy, I gave them the super yummy (i.e. gag-stinky) food when we got home. All is forgotten.

  9. WendyB_09 Says:

    Ah, I understand…bribery has its uses in all social structures.

  10. Nathan Says:

    No temperature taking? WTF? My brother and his wife take kitty temperatures! (Yes, they’re bot vets — it’s not just a weird hobby.)

  11. Nathan Says:

    they are both vets…not bot-vets.

    But that’d be kinda cool too!

  12. Michelle Says:

    I’d kinda like to see a bot vet I think.

    And really, why would you stick a thermometer into a cat’s butt if it’s healthy and just coming in for a checkup? I mean, my cats get fussy when you try and check their ears and teeth. Sticking things in their butts? That sounds deadly.

    20 years ago Herbie the Wonder Cat, originally named Purrbaby, was slowly dealing with a bad liver. The vet wanted to hear her heart, but her rattle was so strong it deafened the vet trying to listen with a stethoscope. So on to the next thing, which was take the kitty’s temp. Well THAT stopped the purring cold, and she was able to listen to Herbie’s little heart go pitta-patter. (grin)
