Mass Vaccination Of Cats Day
Mass Vaccination Of Cats Day (MVOCD), also known as Emptying Of The
Checking Account Day (EOTCAD) went well. I thought I only had one carrier, and would have to take four trips the vet (who is, thankfully, only four blocks from here). When I went to retrieve THE carrier, I discovered I had one other, larger carrier. YAY! Okay, thinking, I knew Apache and Little Feet could share a carrier because Apache likes him, and Little Feet likes everyone. I could put Miss Emily in the other carrier, and get it over with so as not to scare her off. Little Boy has bossy issues with all three of the others, so he could go last and by himself. I grabbed Apache first, because she has a habit of flattening out and sliding under the couch when she feels threatened. Next, I grabbed Little Feet, and put him in with Apache. Miss Emily was next. NO CARRIER ISSUES!!! Off to the vet. with only Apache serenading. Miss Emily only had one little whine to let me know she didn't like this. Little Feet is just mellow. At the vet, I got Miss Emily out, because she was most likely to resist. The only resistance was to lovingly (so I'll claim) clamp down on my wrist while they took her temperature. No fights, fusses or viciousness at all, and she calmly walked back into the carrier. THEN she hissed her displeasure and laid down. Little Feet, the calm and placid was the growler. He didn't resist all that much, but he growled the entire time. This is only the third time I have ever heard him growl. It was easy to calm him and get a purr afterwards, though. He even let the tech take him in to take samples for a senior panel. Results tomorrow. Little Feet went back into the carrier, and Apache scrunched back in, but let me drag her out. I think she was too scared to put up a fight, and she tolerated the poking and prodding. I took them back home and caught Little Boy lounging and grinning on top of Senyah's chair, probably thinking he had lucked out. Nope. Stuffed him, unwillingly into the carrier, transported him while he sang the whole way, and got the examination and shots. He curled his head up against the tech or against me, depending on who he was facing. All done, Little Boy delivered back home, and everyone is settled back into their usual locations and routines. Miss Emily insisted on going out NOW, and I got a dirty look from Little Feet. Little Feet has lost a little weight, and has ear mites. Nobody else had ear mites, but we've got mite medicine to apply to everyone. Hugs and Purrs, Mark |
