The Vet Visit
Man, did I hate the vet today. It was really scary in the car as I’m not used to drives and the scenes going by me so quickly, and then I had to wait for an hour with mom in the car, it was horrible! And then mom took me into a strange room in a strange place filled with weird smells. I hated the shiny silver table and tried to run into mom’s arms while the lady doctor poked at my belly and looked at my teeth but my nails slipped on the table! But the worst was yet to come! They laid me on my side and I was terrified that mom and sis were gone, but I looked up and they were still right there.
I felt a terrible pinch in my right leg and it lasted a loooong time. I knew I had to be strong, but I breathed really hard to keep from crying out while I put my face in mom’s reassuring hands. Boy, it hurt and it was not pleasant!
But it was over pretty quick and the the lady doctor was rather nice and she was impressed with my shiny coat and wondered what my family gave me to eat to keep me looking so good at 18 years and 5 months old. My human bro said later that mom and sis should have replied “love” and they had a good laugh about it when we got home. It was an ordeal, but I realized that everything was okay since I was back home, and I realized it was for my own good and mom and sis were so proud of me for being brave. I got lots of yummy treats, too, although I was really wiped out today and rested in my castle for a bit:
I sure hope I don’t have to go back there anytime soon! –Bambi

In every life a little rain must fall even in a cats life.
Love your castle, every cat should have one.

Bambi, those doctors always speak nicely to you while they’re torturing you. BTW, I’d like to tell you that my hilariously funny book, The World Is Your Litter Box, is in bookstores now and is also available on Amazon. The book is cleverly disguised as a cute cat book so humans will buy it, but is, in fact, a how-to manual FOR cats. Check it out on my website, www.theworldisyourlitterbox.com.
