The Bay, the bag and the potentially bad day.
So I’ll confess… I was a bad meowmy. I neglected to take my cat to the vet for 2 years. Wait, 3 years? Either way, it was a few years. When I first got her, I was really good about taking her regularly, making sure she had all her shots… and then I became broke. And I thought it was okay, and I had a friend who said she didn’t take her cat to get shots either… and then her cat got really sick and I figured, better safe than sorry. Vet appointment it was.
But first… Bay can’t ride around town in any old carrier. Baby needs a brand new bag:
Okay, to tell you the truth, she didn’t get the bag just because of the vet visit. When we moved here, she kind of used the plastic carrier she rode in as a toilet… and then I accidentally left it out in the rain. It was kinda gross. Plus it was always too small for her, so it was time for a new carrier anyways.
Oh and btw, she really liked her new carrier. Last night I left it open and she kept crawling in to lay down. But I’m sure the vet visit may have changed her mind. There’s nothing like a car trip and a trip to the vet to make a cat stop liking something they used to like. Ha maybe I was wrong… she still seems to like laying in it!
Anyway… I was really worried about the vet visit. I felt so bad the entire way there, knowing how much she would hate it. Getting poked and prodded, being cooped up in her carrier, a car ride, and shots usually equal a very unhappy kitty. But… the vet visit went well. We went to a cat-only vet, which I’ve never done before… and I think it was the reason she was much better behaved at the vet than she usually is, as she didn’t hear or smell dogs (although we did hear quite a few cats sound like they were getting tortured). She got all her shots, a dose of preventative flea medication, and was told that she looked great. She only growled once, and then she was perfectly fine and let them do everything they needed to – no problems whatsoever.
And then ever since we got home she has been her usual playful, lovable self. Right now she’s zonked out right next to me, which is exactly where I like her. :)
Day 14/30 of NaBloPoMo… not so bad!
