    Thanks all for the support everyone!

    He's all set to spend a couple of hours at the vet next Thursday. Sabrina is going to set him up in a nice "cage" in the back away from all the action. I'll drop him off just before 8 am and will return for him as soon as the testing is done. I'm hoping the space is large enough for his carrier so we can just put it in and open the door so he can remain inside if he wants or can come out for a drink or potty break. Either way he'll have the comfort of his familar fleece blankets to make him feel as safe/warm as can be.

    Then I can pick him up and take him back to the relative safety of our apartment and spend the rest of the day loving him up as I'll take the full day off of work.

    With any luck my divorce will be settled soon and I can move us into our own house and this won't be an issue again.

    I was going to ask if you could take time off work, but I see that you are already taking the day off. Why don't you just put him in the carrier and the two of you go cruisin' for a couple of hours? That way you wouldn't have to leave him anywhere.

    Just a thought.....

    I would have done just that BUT I have to be there to let fire alarm dude into my apartment so he can confirm that the alarm is ringing. And unfortunately the one girlfriend I have that isn't working right now is allergic to the kitties so is unable to assist. So this is the best case solution.

    Well done indeed! Gosh I love coming to PT to see people that put their furbabies ahead of themselves. You are a fantastic Meowmie. Hoping all goes well and Diego will be fine.

    Well, the day for the alarm testing has arrived. I'll be taking Diego over to the vets shortly for his stay while the racket is going on. Hopefully he won't get too stressed while there. As soon as it's over I will go collect my boy and bring him home for a few whiskas treats and lots of loving.

    I hope that everything will go well. I also have the fire alarm testing to look forward to but it's not until Sat. March 19th. It usually lasts for several hours.
