My cat needed to go to the vet so I drove
her to the big city. She calmed down when
she saw her litter box in the back seat
and lay next to me with her head on my leg
all the way there. She cried a lot when I
put her in the carrier and took her inside,
then did OK after that. The vet thinks she
has an upper respiratory infection.

Later, when we got back in the car she kept
trying to get under my feet and I was worried
she was trying to use the bathroom under my
feet, so I had to get a little rough putting
her in the back seat in case she forgot her
litter box was there. I hope the people inside
the vet office, looking out those big windows,
don't think I'm mean to my cat. She calmed
down and was no trouble on the way home.

The wind was brisk and cold all day with clear
skies. The heater sure felt good.

Stopped and got Chinese food on the way back.
Excellent, Lo Mein, stemmed rice and egg roll.

Gasoline was $2.819 in the city and $3.029 at
home, West Texas.
