Off to the vet

Vet visit today.  Lucky us (yeah, right).

Squeakers:  I was the first shoved into the carrier.  I was nervous when Mom got them out yesterday, but then nothing happened until today.  I struggled only a little.  The car ride was uneventful, but I still don’t like that.  We didn’t have to wait too long in the waiting room, but then came the jab.  Then, they said that I’m a senior cat & took me into the back to jab me again to draw blood.  That was bad enough, but being called a senior cat was just insulting!  They brought me back in & I walked around a bit till Mom picked me up & put me on her lap with Hailey.  The vet came in & looked at me first.  She said that I was very handsome & had such a great personality (I didn’t try to kill her).  I just laid there, limp, like the good boy that I am.  She said that I was more like a 4 or 5 year old, not one turning 8 this year.  She wouldn’t guess me to be a senior cat.  That made me proud.  Then, it was back into the carrier & home soon enough.  There, Missy hissed at me because I smelled like the vet.  I’ve been relaxing since & am OK.  I’m not in a hurry to go back though.

Hailey:  I’m proud to say that I put up more of a fight against going into the carrier.  No easy going for me.  I even voiced my displeasure in the car on the way to the vet.  After I got stuck with a needle, I didn’t get taken away like Squeakers did.  I explored the room a little before I hid under the chair.  Mom got me out from there & held me on my lap.  It felt good being there & having her pet me.  Squeaks came back in & joined us there.  I got the seat to myself while the vet was examining him, then it was my turn.  I was shaking!  She was very nice to me & gave me attention.  I ended up liking that.  She said that I have pretty green eyes.  Tell me something I don’t know, but I accepted the compliment.  I was quite the lady & nice to everyone there.  I’m just glad to be home.  Missy hissed at me; too, but that’s pretty normal around here.
