If I told you where the Woman went today

If I told you where the Woman went today I'm not sure you'd believe me. She went on a TOUR of the VET's office???!! Who goes on a TOUR of that place??? She said her day hunting place might be doing some work for the VET's office so they had to go look at the building and the rooms and stuff. I can't believe she made it out alive to tell the story- you get lost in that place.

And then she talked to the two VET men for like an hour. What could you possibly have to say to one of those torture people???!! Further proof that the Woman is out of her little human mind. She found out that our favorite vet used to run restaurants. And I trust this man with my life? I mean, I know he saved Latte's life twice so I guess he must know what he's doing.

She'd better not try to bring me along for "fun". They know I'm a confirmed pooper so I don't think they want me around there. Still it just boggles my mind.......

Talk about BAD night.

So the Woman came home and went into the attic. She brought down the big PTU and of course I went in because I love being in PTU's. So I was hanging out and Latte got shoved in there with me. It was a bit cramped....but we got there OK. At the VET's office (yeah, that's where she took us) Latte left the PTU and gave me some room. I hate the VET. I tried to crawl into the corner but it didn't work. The Woman yanked me out. Then they poked and prodded me. The indignity! They did call me a Big Cat with big bones so they didn't say I was fat. That was pretty cool of them. Just as I thought it was over they brought me in the back room.

Here I was thinking I was lucking out because I didn't get any shots. I should have known better. They took me back and put a NEEDLE IN MY NECK. *Charmer's please don't read the following as I'm very embarassed* I pooped. I couldn't help it, I was so scared I had to let my bowels loose. It got stuck on my tummy furs. This is SO embarassing. Sigh....please don't think less of me. I have to say, I'd rather have the shots than this ridiculous titer crap. They stole so much of my blood I thought I was going to die.

At least I don't have to go back there. I have some tartar on the left side of my mouth but no gingivitis so I don't need my teeths cleaned. Well duh, don't all cats only chew on one side of their mouths?

On the way back Latte got shoved in the PTU with me again and I almost killed him. Three times. I wanted to be alone. The Woman almost had to pull over to grab Latte out. I just want to go to sleep and I deserve an entire chick-hen to myself on Thursday.

I seriously lucked out at the VET's

I saw the PTU earlier in the day. Since I'm a good boy I walked right into mine, its actually quite spacious for my boo-tay. Into the Grey Machine I went and Latte was facing me in his PTU. The Awesome Man likes when we yowl in the car so he talked to us the whole way. The AM likes to park really far away so we had to walk next to a busy road to get to the office. The Woman yelled at him for not being "shock absorbing" enough with his wrist as I was flying all over the place.

Everyone was oogling over Latte because they all adore him, everyone came in to see him. Therefore I got to wait in my PTU for a long time. When they finally got to me the VET looked at my eyes/ears, all over my body, took my temp, looked at my teeth and said I was good to go. Can you believe it??? NO NEEDLES! He said my titer levels from last year are super high so I probably don't ever need any more shots besides the rabbies every 3 years. Even my weight is OK, I'm 12.7 lbs and if I hit 13 I need to go on a diet but I'm OK for now as I've always weighed this much. He did insult me though. He said I wouldn't look very good in a Speedo. All the people laughed hard at that one. I only got a little hissy when they took my temperature but who doesn't? AND I don't need a dental! He gave the people some stuff to put in our water to help our teeth stay clean and the tall man has to rub some gel on my gums. For my sniffles he put all of the cats on a round of antibiotics to clear up our Herpes flare up. Sigh. The Woman really hoped there would be more answers for the sniffles but its just the Herpes.

All in all it was a really easy trip to the VET. I really like the VET he's a giant like the Awesome Man and he and the AM laugh a lot and have fun. How the VET is fun I don't know but it wasn't completely unbearable. As usual we were silent on the ride home. When we got out of the PTUs we both licked our boo-tays because we were violated.

As if things could get better....

The Woman was scratching my chin this morning and I was really leaning into it. Obviously this is not in my usual charachter (had it been Awesome Man I would have, but she just doesn't do it for me). Unfortunately she is the one in charge of our feedings/cleanings/health/play/etc. and she discovered a bite on my neck. Duh!!! Hello??? I live with rabid kittens! They attack me and bite/scratch me all over (especially the frootbat). Then she got all worried because its a pretty big scab thing and that isn't good. She's going to "keep an eye on it" which is completely uncool because I don't really want her looking at me a lot.

Thanks for all of your well wishes! I'm feeling the same and the Woman ('cause she has a vet degree, right?) thinks its just the virus that's now infested our house. She doesn't seem to think I am infected (which I AM with KITTENS! Oh wait...that is infested....) so we'll see what the vet can do for me. The appointment is tomorrow night. She thinks I don't know, but I do. In any case, I've been sleeping in the Millie Bed a lot in front of the heater vent.
