Diego and the Fire Alarm Testing - Today's the Day

[Queen of Poop]

Unfortunately my vehicle will not allow me to leave it running and lock the door.

I was thinking of taking him to the vet and having them give him something to calm him down and leaving him there till it's over. He might be ok with just this higher dose of prozac. I just worry he might hurt the vet staff if he freaks out.

He is really good in the carrier in the vehicle. He's a seasoned traveller so that is not a concern at all.

So much to consider.

Ok, I've decided.

Diego will go stay with the vet.

The last time they tested the alarms they were done by 10 am. So he really will only be with the vet for 2 hours, maybe slightly longer, or shorter.

Figure this way he will be glad to get in my truck and glad to come home.

It seems like the lesser of all the evils. He might be stressed but I think it will be less damaging than staying in our apartment. Maybe he will even learn that being at the vets isn't so bad because nothing will happen to him this time. Maybe, just maybe he will make some new friends.

I will call Sabrina at the vets office tomorrow to make the arrangements.

Thanks everyone for your comments and for helping me come to a decision that I hope is in the best interests of my boy. Despite his faults I love my boy cat to bits!!

I had that problem at My old apartment where My Princess absolutley hated the visitor's bell.
She would run and grwol like a Maniac Cat, when it sounded!!
Actually that was a reason that I moved!!
We are praying that you and Diego will be all right
And that noone turns in a false alarm

Glad you decided on the vets.... there is NO WAY he needs to be anywhere near that when they test it...

I agree that it might even be a good thing, a vet visit that requires no poking or prodding!

Hopefully he can stay in his carrier for the two hours so he is as comfy as possible.

Once you have your own house, this won't be a worry. {{{hugs}}}

Oh, that's good. He's so sweet, the veterinarian's staff will have to ooh and aah over him, and by the time everyone has had a turn admiring Diego, your testing will be done and over with.
