Edwina Makes New Friends

[ramanth]

Do they use a blow dart from across the room?!

Oh Edwina, you are still a princess to me.

Eddie...RUN!

[Killearn Kitties]

Ha! They won't forget you in a hurry, will they Miss Edwina? Quite right too - the customer is always right!

You could be sweeter to Eddie though! It really wasn't his fault.

I WONDER HOWMANY STARS ROCCA,HAS,AT THE ONE VETS,SHE GOT OUT,HID IN THE RAFTERS,AND IT TOOK THEM A WEEK,TO CATCH HER.AT AT THEVETS,AT HER DENTAL,SHE GOT OUT,HID IN A CABINET,AND THEY HAD,TO TAKE,THE HINGES,ON THE DOOR,TO GET HER OUT.AND WHEN I CALED,TO GET HER AN APPOINTMENT,THE GIRL SAID OH,ROCCA,IN A HUSHED VOICE.THATSWHY,I HAVE A VISITING VET,FOR HER,AND AS GOOD,AS HE IS,HE HAD A BIT,OF A STRUGGLE,WITH ROCCA,AND NEEDED HIS LEATHER GLOVES.

ROCCA,AND FRIENDS.THE SAD THING,IS THAT,IF ROCCA,NEEDS HELP,SHE MIGHT NOT SIT STILL,FOR IT.

Edwina, that was not very ladylike, but of course, going to a new vet, you must make sure they remember you.

If you smack Eddie's nose once more, I'll give you another 4 stickers!! Poor boy!

[momcat]

Four stickers? My,my,my. I know that going to the white coats is a very scary event for kitties. But try to remember that your Meowmie wants to keep you healthy and everyone here at Pet Talk does too!!! But most important... even though the white coat does things you don't like, he IS your friend! Doctor doesn't want to hurt you, he wants to help you stay healthy and strong and help you feel better when you don't feel good. Doctor also helps Meowmie take good care of you by answering her questions and giving her advice about what you need to stay well. That wasn't very nice to whack poor little Eddie like that! I hope you told him that you're sorry. I'm glad the white coat found nothing wrong and said you're just fine.Give Meowmie lots of kitty kisses and please tell Eddie you're sorry, okay?

Reminds me of a "problem dog" we had at the Rabies Clinic
a couple years ago...

Doc Lisa agreed to "shoot" him out in the parking lot, inside his
Dad's pickup truck, since he "wasn't too friendly around strangers".

"Not too friendly" = he tried to chew his way through the window
as soon as he saw Doc! And he was *HUGE*!!

"No Sweat" sez Doc. "Just hold his head" ...
His "Dad" didn't "hold" too well ... Doc avoided the teeth by inches!

"Plan B" sez Doc!
She opened the driver's door enough that he charged and got his head out;
as she CLOSED the door on his neck so he couldn't go either IN or out!

"Phred! YOU hold this door! And watch the teeth!" ...

She trotted around to the passenger door;
opened it and *jabbed* him in the BUTT!
Doc was the rest of the afternoon!

Blow Dart - that idea has possibilities!

FOUR Stickers! ...

Edwina did get a clean bill of health although the vet point out she is.....a) middle-aged and b)ahem.....fat.

The fear of the same diagnose is what keeps me from visiting the doctor!

[Cataholic]

I am sure it was all a misunderstanding. Maybe Edwina didn't talk Valley enough for them? Maybe?

Ha ha ha...this is just about right!

Scooter is the same way. Per the nasty vet I had in Cincinnasty, Ohio....I'm the lady with "the mean cat"! LOL It's pretty embarassing when nobody can touch your cat, so they have to get a "fish net" on a pole and "net the cat" so they can inject a tranquilizer just to do a normal exam!

We've been really bad cat parents to Scooter because we haven't actually taken him to the vet in years, because it just seems to be way too traumatic of an ordeal for us and him and the vet involved!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Well how rude! Edwina, dah-ling, you had every right to be upset! Hrrmph!

[Vio&Juni]

In California it is very important to be noticed and remembered!

Poor Eddie

It is very strange that both mycats are so good at the vet, you wouldn't expect that from Juni, who can hiss at people she doesn't like, or from Pichu, who would rip you off if you tried to give him a bath.

[rkidsrcats]

It's sort of like how they rate the spicyness of our Thai food from the joint down the road... 4 stars is very hot.
So 4 orange stickers....means very ticked off!

So is Eddie on "Orange Alert" now?

Me too, Sara! LOL!!!!

Edwina, I'm sorry your trip was so scary. Our Butter turns into jello when he gets to the vet, it's trying to get him to the vet that causes me problems! LOL!!!!

Well, they provoke a lady to extremes like that, and then they have the gall to stick CAUTION stickers on her file. The nerve of them!
