A couple of days ago, I was loading our oldest and most cranky cat, Hana, into to her cat carrier for a trip to the vet. She was giving me one heck of a time, screaming, crying and clawing. About 3 minutes into this, Misao, my very docile and 'fraidy cat-cat, came into the room, screamed at Hana and swatted her twice in the nose. Hana immediately quietted down and stopped fighting with me.

Its almost as if Hana was swearing at me in cat-ese, Misao heard it and came in to give Hana a what for.

I hope I'm still in Misao's good graces when I have to take Hana to the vet again.
