My poor, poor Noah :( :( :(

I find it's different every time I have to take my cats in. It just depends on their mood at the time I have to put them in the portable prison! Last weekend I was certain I'd have a horrible experience with Mishi - he can be a real beast and growls and gets VERY ornery when he doesn't get his way. I must have caught him in a good mood as he was almost perfect!

This Tuesday I'm taking Mitzi in for her first bath - a day at the cat spa! Sounds like heaven to me! Pampering, washing, blow dry, pedicure .... but I KNOW it will be a battle just getting her into the carrier. I'm starting to prepare myself for the experience even now.

Now, Noah -- you poor boy! I was worred too when I saw the subject line, but am glad it was nothing more traumatic than a trip to the white coats. Your Meowmie is very courageous to want to try giving you your vaccines herself. She deserves extra head bumpies, purrs and kitty kisses.

I know why Noah is my special heart kitty! He forgave me so quickly! David and I were reading in bed last night and Noah came in. Olivia hisses and carries on like usual, but I can tell Noah isn't feeling well and he just slides down the wall and lays down.

I went down on the floor and gave him some loving and continued to read right next to him and he fell asleep.

I went online for a while and he came with me, sitting at the top of my desk chair. He kept coming down and getting in front of the screen for headbumpies and hugs. He did this about five or six times in about an hour. The last two times, he would gently take my fingers away from the keyboard with his teeth!

He's my baby....we're still in love!

Now he's at the kennel, scared again. But will settle down with his special blanket soon. I can't wait to see them again on Monday.

I'm so sorry to hear about Noah's traumatic vet visit. My Cirrus is still semi feral so it's very hard for me to even get him into a carrier. I can't even pill him. When he went to the vets, they had to pill him with a tranquilizer and he had to stay there all day because it takes about 2 hours to take effect. I need to ask my vet about a cream form so I can rub it into his ear to calm him down so he can have his nails trimmed and advantage applied monthly. Hopefully this won't happen again and you will be able to find something to help Noah relax at the vets.

I guess Im confused...why does Noah and the other cats have to be at the vets all weekend? if they are not doing the door til monday?

B/c the place where she took them doesn't allow drop offs on Sundays.
