a NOT adventure

We have posted before that our normal vet is mobile and comes to the house. YIKES!!! However, it does reduce car rides and stress for most everyone. But, recently their hours have gotten strange and it kind of seems to mom that maybe the vet is no longer doing much vetting. Since she loves the vet ladies who help out the rescue, she is going to start transferring all our stuff over there.

Tim and Tom have been pretty snotty for a while. Mom tried all her tricks and nothing seems to be working, so she made an appointment on Monday to haul them off and have them checked over. Mom says her problem is that she is so used to dosing little kittens that dosing us big cats is a whole different math problem.

Tim and Tom would probably prefer to ride together, but that has a two pronged problem: we don't actually have a carrier big enough for both of them....and how to you get one to stay in while putting the other in and avoid everyone getting away? So...they went in separate carriers.

There was much singing and carrying on from the back seat according to mom.

Once there, she let them out but mainly the boys found a corner and hid. The tech (a new one) came in and got their weights (Tom 11.5 pounds, Tim 12 pounds....mom was SHOCKED). And...mom got to amaze the tech with their magic micro-chips. Yes ladies and gentlecats - Tim, Tom and Mo don't have to have a thermometer shoved in indecent places. Their microchip shows their number and then their temp. How cool right???

Anyhow, Tommy sounds like Darth Vader (whoever that is) and both have the sneezes. So they are on meds for a short term and then will get to make ANOTHER car ride to get their vaccinations and maybe a "senior" mancat blood draw.

  1. It is not fun taking the poor kitties to the vet. Mine all sing all the way there and then are silent on the way home. Glad the boys are going to be all right. We seem to have sneezes and stuffed heads all the time here. Have a great Thursday.

  2. I have never heard of that kind of microchip with temp. in it- what a great idea. Only 2 of my 15 are microchipped so if I can ever afford to do more, I will ask for that. I hope everyone feels better soon.

  3. We hate going to the vets - Hannah hunches down in her carrier and dribbles endlessly so Mum goes armed with many newspapers and cleansing wipes and lots of kitchen towels. Fortunately for her if Lucy is allowed to ride on the front passenger seat she likes to look out the window and is quieter and drier!
    Luv Hannah and Lucy xx cxxc
