Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / October 2005Quick vet visit
Baggy has just been to TED for his annual injections. Like many cats, Baggy, does _not_ like travelling by car, so it's fortunate the vet is only 4 miles away. Also luckily today we were seen as soon as we arrived, so we were away from home for less than 30 minutes.

My LLL and I are planning a trip for us to meet somewhere "in the middle" in Arkansas. He asked, "Why don't you just bring Persia with you?" Yeah, RIGHT. She yowls the entire way to the vet, 5 miles and then back. I can just picture myself driving (I'm terrified of driving long distances) 80 miles with a yowling cat. Then get to the pet friendly hotel (there are lots of them, by the way) and have her run out of the room when he goes to get ice or something. Not to mention her yowling and irritating other guests if we go out to dinner and leave her in a strange room alone. This is supposed to be a non-working vacation, not "let's test Jill's (and Persia's) last nerve"! Much as she hates it, she will be boarded. Only 5 miles of yowling (one way) LOL Jill >> Baggy has just been to TED for his annual injections.

My sister lived in El Dorado, AR from 1981 to 1985. I did quite a lot of long distance driving when I visited her there. Lots beautiful places in the middle of Arkansas. Talking of which, did the Toad Suck get together ever take place?

Talking of which, did the > Toad Suck get together ever take place? I'm afraid not. I couldn't go due to the demise of our van and the subsequent expenses, and we were never able to organize it all. I feel ashamed as I initiated the idea and never followed through on it, even if I couldn't go myself. It would be fun though to get a good sized group of us nuts together and just hang out and have fun.

DH and I drove from Virginia to Colorado with Oscar. There was not a single 5-minute silent interval the entire trip. "Meow." "Meowowowow" "Meow?" "Meow!" [Pause. Humans hope she has settled down.] "Meow?" "Meow. Meow." "Myaaaow" ad nauseum.

I know Persia wouldn't be *hurtung*, just upset and/or annoyed, but then I'd get upset for upsetting her, you know what I mean? God help me if I have to move any great distance. I would have to get some sort of herbal kitty medication to calm her down for the trip. Peaches, my lovebird, enjoys being in the car. Her toys swing all by themselves (must seem like a miracle) and she chirps along with the radio :) Jill >> My LLL and I are planning a trip for us to meet somewhere "in the >> middle" in Arkansas.

He especially likes it if we let him out of the carrier so he can roam about in the car. He likes to be able to put his paws up on the window so he can see out. And he likes to come up front and sit on my lap with his paws on the dashboard, looking out. He's really good about not going over into the driver's side too.

What a good boy :-) This reminds me of trips as a kid. We had a cat, Fluffy, and a dog, Charlie Brown (a beagle) and they came with us for some trips up north to visit family. I remember Fluffy being loose in the car and she would always freak out. She'd be on my dad's shoulders when he was driving (a cat hater) and under his feet. I don't remember seeing any carriers back then, but we had a home-made kennel for Charlie. I had his old carrier when I moved because I didn't have enough carriers, and it was made of wood and roomy. I used it for a stray shelter until the wood swelled and I had to throw it out when it got too water-logged. About taking Fluffy on trips - my mom told me something recently that I didn't remember. Fluffy got out during a visit to NY and they couldn't find her when we had to leave. They went up the next weekend and found her. I would have freaked out if it'd been one of my cats! SignatureCheryl I took phoenix for his yearly jabs today. Unfortunately he had a slightly raised temp, so he got a dose of anti-inflamatory instead, and we got another bill of almost £30. Back for his jabs on monday... SignatureSandra > I took phoenix for his yearly jabs today.

Sorry to hear that. :-( Baggy was extra purry when he got home, I'm glad it's only once a year.

I don't think our gang would survive it if we had to drive more than 1 mile. SignatureVictor M.

Our vet is only about 4 miles down the road (same road, no turns) and Shamrock does fine on the trips. Rhett had to go recently, and the soulful rrrows coming out of him didn't even sound like him. LOL He sure scared the tech because his ears were pinned back the entire time, and with his size, she thought she'd be torn to shreds for sure. He behaved. :) He has to go back in December for his annual shots. After this round, I'm hoping he (and Scarlett) won't have to have any more for a while. They're determining that after the initial shots, they're good for a while.
