Poor Edwina. First, we go and leave her for ten days. We get home and her bed (also ours) goes away -- moves anyway. Then this morning.......she had to go to the vet for her annual checkup.

NEVER has she behaved so badly. I had a feeling so we put her in a carrier instead of just her harness. She howled like a cat in heat for the three minute ride (naturally my husband got confused, then there was a "do" on at the church by the vet and no parking...etc, etc.)

She began hissing before we even got inside. She hissed at the receptionist. We went in the room and she hissed at her poppa and she hissed at me. We finally got her out of the carrier she climbed on me like white on rice. When the vet came in she hissed, growled and made every other negative cat noise known. I was SOOO embarrassed. The vet, a very young woman, seemed a bit afraid of Edwina. Asked a tech to come in and hold her. Then suggested the tech use a towel to hold her while she got her shots. She was so awful. We kept saying she is really a very sweet cat. I don't think anyone believed us. The took her in a back room to weigh her (up a pound -- no more turkey!) I can't imagine how she was there.

When we got home she wanted to sleep on my lap. Then she vomited (she is good about vomiting on non-carpeted surfaces!) She is back to sleep now. After all the stress I imagine she will sleep for quite a while.
