As noted, Ritz is not overly vocal, except at these specific times...the exception is vet visits or anything that dictates she be cooped up in a cat carrier. During our recent annual vet visit (see other post), Ritz was her usual crabby self. On the road trip in the carrier, she is VERY vocal and sounds so pathetic I get mommy cat guilts just thinking about it.

On the ride home, she was unusually quiet. About halfway home, I was worried that she might be having some reaction to the inoculations----so I did what I do at home, called her name (she comes when we call her thanks to some early training).

"Ritzy?" I said

She responded with this very LOUD and painful sounding
MEEEERRRROOOOOWWWWWWWW ....ok, Mommy gets the picture, you're ticked off!
