Patrick to TED
Thursday I took Patrick and The Moose to TED (yep, took 'em together, I'm a
glutton for punishment). I set out the carrier and Nancy, Moogie and Bob took turns getting in and out while Patrick just looked at me like "NO WAY!". I through a piece of pepperoni in the carrier but Patrick just sat there while Nancy ran in and snagged it to drag it under the couch, growling. Then I picked up Patrick and tried to put him in head first. He GROWLED at me, LOL, but didn't scratch or anything. I gotta tell you, Patrick would NOT go in that carrier. I finally had to set it upright and drop him in, poor kitty. Anyway, he got his shots and a clean bill of health. He weighs 14 pounds, the fatty!! The vet seemed slightly concerned that he had no hair on his pink belly and asked if he was a licker. I've never seen him obsess about licking.. I just thought he was too fat. She said it was nothing to worry about, just to watch him in case it gets worst. The Moose got her shots and got the heck out of there. LOL. My dad came along to help wrangle The Moose while I handled Patrick. Stacey |

Major scritches to Patrick.
You need a cat carrier that has a opening on the top. Otherwise I'd have no hope in hell of getting Gizmo in. I'm glad the dreaded visit went well Purrs Angela and Gizmo "Stacey" wrote in message ...

I used to have one of those inflexible cat carriers for Persia. I had to do like you said, drop her in. She was fighting all the way, legs splayed out. Then I bought a nice Sherpa bag for her with a front and top-zip and a nice fleece lining. I gave her a few days to get used to it, and tossed some of her toys into it so she would get used to going in and out and think of it as a good thing. Last time I took her to the vet, I zipped the front closed but left the top undone. Picked her up, dropped her into the bag from the top and zipped it shut. She was like, "HUH?" Of course she didn't like it because then I picked her up and took her out to the car in it. But it was much less painful than trying to shove her into a hard plastic carrier Glad they got a clean bill of health! Jill |
