Outwitted by Cinders
Cinders was supposed to go to the vet this morning for her annual rabies
shot and physical examination. I set the cat carrier out on top of the chest freezer last night, with the door standing open. This has generally worked, in the past, as Cinders usually is skittish when I first get the carrier out, then is taking it for granted by the next day. This time, she either had a better memory, or else something in my body language tipped her off. Cinders was her usual friendly self up until a few minutes before time to leave for the vet's office. At that point, she suddenly decided to disappear, and didn't come back out of hiding until several hours after the vet's office closed for the day. I had to call the vet's office, apologize, and say that I would bring her in one day next week. -- John F.
