Petrified cats and screaming mee mee's...oh my

I'm back from the Vet. That was horrible.


I actually thought it was going to be a piece of cake . (silly me)

The reason I thought that was because at first, it seemed so easy. At 9:30 I gave Cavuto his valium. He was sleeping on the back of the couch. I just went over ,opened his mouth and popped the pill right down his throat. Sa-weet!


I waited until he started getting uncoordinated , then popped him in the cage. Next i grabbed O'reilly and popped him in the cage with him.
Whew! That was easy. :)


Then it's time to get monkey . She was to be traveling in her own sherpa bag , by herself.
She had been laying on the cable box all morning.


So ,I'm thinking "all I have to do now is pop her into her bag.man, this is going sooo smoothe."
I should have known better. ha ha ha .


I go bee-boppin into the bedroom and the cable box is bare. Wonderful. I search the house for the little witch. I finally find her ,hiding under the bed. She knows I am up to no good. So she refuses to come anywhere near where i can grab her.


I jiggle some shoes strings for about 10 minutes and finally am able to grab her. and strangle her...er..I mean put her in the carrier.


Cavuto is acting drunk as a skunk ,but in NO way tranquilized. I get them all loaded into the truck. Moneky is shrieking the entire way to the Vets.


As soon as we walk in the door ,she went into her "flattened out, stiff as a board " mode and shut up.


She gets her shot first . She's silent and like a piece of petrified wood .


Then O'Reilly fights me when i try to remove him from the carrier. (you're supposed to fight on the way IN!, dummy)


He gets his shot and goes right back into the carrier.


Then it's Cavuto's turn. (he is getting the shot AND microchipped)
Well ,he's acting drunk as a skunk ,I put him on the table.


The doctor says "Have you seen the size of this needle?" (the microchip needle)


"Um, no ,and I don't think I want to."


So ,I stand to the side and pet his head while the "nurse" holds him down. The minute they touched him he SCREAMED bloody murder. I'm not talking meowing here, I mean one
ear shattering ,continuous, minute long scream.


It was AWFUL! The other cats were horrified (as I'm sure ,were any other animals in the building)


They get to go back in 2 weeks for more. Damn!!!


This time we got valium for everyone. (except ME! ) lol


As you can see from the video. Valium does not knock one out and make one drowsy ,as you would expect. More like hyper and drunk.


So, I have errands to run , but I must stick around until Cavuto "sobers Up".


Man , I wish Vets made house calls .


It would also be nice ,for once , to have a sane animal :)
