Luna and Maya went for their annual physical today. Let me say that Luna
and Maya *love* cat carriers. But only if they are open and inside the
house. If you put a cat carrier on the floor and open it, cats will
fight to get inside of it. But don't dare take it outside, no sir!
The moment I stepped outside, the yowling started. And what a yowling it
was! You'd think I was torturing the poor kitties. The yowling increased
when I got the car in motion and did not stop at all. We arrived at TED
20 minutes too early, they hadn't opened yet. So we sat on the parking
lot, with the yowling girls in the back. I was hoping the yowling would
stop once we got inside the building, but no... not even close. We
finally made it to the examination room, where I was able to open the
carriers and pet the girls. That calmed them down a bit. Then came the
vet tech to take them out back for a fecal sample. Oh boy! Maya was
first, and judging by the yowling, she did not enjoy it one bit. Luna
was next, but she was much quieter, perhaps wanting to avoid publicity
on the loss of her dignity. :)
They got their shots and good health marks from TED. Luna has a bit of
tartar, which is not unusual considering how much she eats, she weighted
in at 11 pounds, while her sister Maya is a slender 7.9 pounds.
Everybody ooed and ahhd and said how pretty the girls are, which did not
deter the yowling one bit. I paid the bill and got them back in the car,
where the yowling concert renewed. They are now back home, grooming
themselves and warning the other cats about the dangers of the cat
carriers. Both cat carriers have a meatlofing cat in them... :)
