The Cat's DAY!!

Well, the Kitties all lined up for their vaccines! To be honest, they were in it for the FOOD! They wanted their kitty krunchies, and had NO IDEA a vaccine was involved. Cougar, Chatter and Chemi were all waiting at the back door. Hum….no Cher! AGAIN! She apparently knew something was up.

I went inside to get the vaccines mixed and was surprised, not pleasantly, to find these were actually to be given intranasal. Yes, that’s right! Up the NOSE!! Of a cat! Are you freaking kidding me! Let me give them a quick poke instead! What sane person tries to put liquid up a cat’s nose! I might as well sign up for a ‘Running With the Bulls”! Oh well, it is what it is. Bill was not home, not that he would have helped anyway! So, I mixed up my first vaccine and went to find the first victim.


Apparently, the cats weren’t all that smart, and did NOT think anything was amiss. They were all still there! Although by now they were starting to look a little put off, kind of like those drive through people, at the fast food joints that have to pull ahead and park to wait for their food. There was trouble a brewing! The Cat’s were CLUELESS!

Cougar was the first in line, he’s a nice kitty, so figured he was the ‘safest’. I had the nasal dropper in my right hand, and had a glove on in my left, just in case things got a tad bit “Western”! I put one drop in each eye, per the instructions, and then the rest up each nostril. NO REACTION!! So now I’m thinking the drop in each eye much paralyze any reaction you’d get if you simply put it up their nose? He was a little put off by the liquid up the nose, but he was purring the whole time. Typical Cougar!!

The next two cats were also perfect! I LOVE THIS STUFF! I also vaccinated Cher without any problems. WOW!! I AM SOLD! Hey Cher!! I got your picture!!!



Our ‘Cat Fun’ continued, as today Cougar had to go into the Vet for some chronic ear mites. The lucky guy, also needed a Rabies shot. They always ask if he needs his other shots, so today I took the little plastic bag the vaccine came in to show them what he’d just gotten. They had not seen the nasal drops either. We finally decided maybe it was due to the restrictions on needles in some states. This allowed people to vaccinate on their own without the needles. They were surprised that the cats didn’t seem to mind. Okay, maybe it was just ‘my’ cats that didn’t mind?

We were in the office a little early for our appointment, and from the growling, screaming and meowing; the first ‘victim’ of the day was another cat. YIKES! I hope they had on the ‘kitty gloves’, he was NOT happy! Cougar was just sitting in the vari-kennel, quietly waiting. He didn’t even make a sound on the way over, just rode quietly.
What a weird cat!
Finally, it’s our turn. I’m sure the Vet was thinking….’Great, another CAT’!! Insert ‘eye roll’ here. So, I explained what the problem was as I got Cougar out of his kennel. PPPUURRRRRRR

As soon as you touch this cat, it’s like a ‘on switch’, the motor starts to run! The vet looks at his ears, gives him his shot, cleans his ears, THREE TIMES and the darn cat just keeps laying there purring. You don’t even need to hold him. It’s the funniest thing! The Vet Tech is laughing, because it’s loud! Cougar’s in ‘kitty heaven’ with all the attention! Okay, so the cat has a mental disorder. What a nice cat!
