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.

It sounds like a lovely moment. 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.

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.

Blessed be,

Awwwwww.  I *LOVE* nose kisses - I even trained Bandit to give me them for
scritchins!

That's adorable. And it sounds like the vet is a real animal lover. (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. :)

Aaaaw! Nose kisses are lovely. Caliban gives them all the time. In fact,
he gave me nose kisses the first time I went to see him at his foster
home. Of course, I was completely sold immediately.

Awww!
