Nose Kisses
An email from Flippy reminded me of something nice that happened this
weekend and I thought I'd share. When I took Hobbes to the vet on Saturday, we didn't have an appointment so they put us in a room, weighed Hobbes and left us there. They checked in with us once or twice but basically we had to wait until they had some free time to examine Hobbes. He eventually relaxed so much that he fell asleep. When the vet finally came in about 1 1/2 hours later Hobbes was very relaxed and she approached telling him how handsome he is and rubbing his chin and cheeks. She put her face down near his to rub her chin on his head and he lifted his head and slowly reached a paw out to touch her cheek and then he gave her a kitty kiss - nose to nose. She just melted and for a short while at least he was her favorite cat of the day. I was a huge awww moment. I'm thinking this wait a minimum of 30 minutes might make a visit to the vet less stressful.' Julie and Hobbes |

I second the "awwwwwwwwwwwwwww" sentiment! Mine don't have much in the way
of "cute" moments at the vet, except when we let them loose in the exam room and they start exploring - I'm telling them not to break anything expensive (like they'll actually listen!) and the vet tells me "anything they break shouldn't be sitting out in the first place!" I will admit it's always amusing to see them go DASHING back into their crates when they're done when it took a miracle to get them in there in the first place. A sweet vet moment - we took the hound and the two kitties in to have everything done at once. Dog's exam is first, and my little brother took him back out to the lobby and then the cats had their exams. Apparently a cat *somewhere* in the vets office was very vocally unhappy - my brother said the dog got *very* concerned hearing the yowls and was AT the exam door thinking it was "his" kitties that were upset. All the furkids send good vibes to Hobbes for continued good recovery. - Cindy -- CDC If you're going through hell, keep going - Winston Churchill "GaDragonfly" wrote in message oups.com...

Our Winnie is so eager for petting, even from strangers, that he wrist-grabs vets, vet-techs and groomers routinely for some head skritching. These people are all very good at picking up on his need for affection and he likes vet visits if no pain is involved. At the other extreme is Missy, Hisser at HooMANS, whose ambition seems to be to put someone in the emergency room. She has drawn no blood but mine for several years now and not much of mine. For a four-poind cat, though, her ferocity is widely respected. She doesn't hate vets, she hates people. Human people, anyway. Will in New Haven |

I remember him chasing her around the office, moaning "Why is it always the little ones?" Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh Make Levees, Not War |

The only cute vet moment I know of is the last time I boarded Persia and my lovebird, Peaches, and I wasn't there to witness it! Someone left the door to the cat room ajar and Persia decided to go in search of Peaches. She found her way into the grooming room and stood up on her hind legs to look at Peaches. I gather she just wanted to make sure she wasn't the only one being held captive Jill |

I just love kitty cat kisses! Only three of ours are serious kissers. Stosh
likes the nose-to-nose kind and will give me several in a row, butting his little wet nose into mine one after another. If he's feeling playful he'll give me the lightest nips, just enough for me to feel his teeth. Brandy will go one further and lick my nose. Sabrina will respond to kissy-noises and give Louie or me the most delicate touch right on the lips. Roxie and Odessa prefer to show us affection backwards, so to speak, and prefer to offer us their behinds. Odessa especially is hilarious with this, because she'll back her tuchas into Louie's face like a bulldozer (she prefers to offer her delicate regions to men, as Stosh prefers to save his kisses for ladies) and, at times, will let go with a majestic catfart that can curl Louie's beard.

(You'd assume they all are, but obviously some are more than others.) I always feel so proud when one of my kitties does something sweet or cute in front of another person. Joyce |

'know the sound a balloon makes when you let the air out by squeeze/pinch the neck? that FWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE sound? Usually followed by the sound of humans gasping for air LOL OL, I exaggerate - the sound isn't that long (I don't think cats can hold that much air, can they?) |
