Oh, the Horror!

I am REALLY hissed off. I was requesting my breakfast when that woman put the PTU in the kitchen. It doesn't go there. Then, she got behind me. Of course, I growled a warning. She grabbed me and tried to shove ME into the PTU! That's no way for a servant treat her Queen!

Well, I nearly bit her and squirmed loose, then ran under the rocking chair. She followed, but couldn't see me. Success!

... or not. She got too close and I hissed. I couldn't help myself! This time, she grabbed me, wrapped me in a blanket and stuffed me into the carrier. I fought and growled and hissed, but this time she had me.

As I settled into one ANGRY caged cat lump, I noticed something completely insulting: The blanket is full of cat hair... VICTOR's cat hair! What NERVE that woman has, wrapping me in HIS blanket!

We spent HOURS* in that monster on wheels and then the vet's office was full of squillions** of nasty DOGS! The first and smallest I could have beaten up with one paw tied behind my back. He was yapping his fool head off. Stoopid noisy dog was getting his hoohaa-ectomy! Serves him right, hurting my poor kitty ears. He'll get what's coming to him!

First she wants me in the cage, then she wants me out. Make up your mind, woman! Usually, I like my vet, but NOT today. I was NOT in the mood to cooperate. I hid my vein as best I could and tried not to give any blood, but she cheated and took it from my neck. Then they talked about my fur. Specifically, they pulled on the mats in my fur. THAT HURTS! And who said "fat?" I'm NOT fat.

Well, I was carried away and left alone awhile, then the torturers got me out again and as angry as I was, somehow I fell asleep! I don't usually sleep while on guard duty! What kind of Attack Tabby would I be then?

I woke alone and caged again. Bleh! What's that nasty taste? Ow! What's in my neck? Hey! Who brushed out my mats? I didn't say you could do that! And WHO TRIMMED MY CLAWS???

After hours*** of abandonment and neglect, someone presented my carrier. Home? Can I go home now? Really? Take me home. NOW!!!

It was only the woman, but she's an adequate chauffeur. I didn't even yell at her and maybe the blanket was a little comforting, smelling of home. My man was waiting for me with food (it's about time!) and respect.

That stoopid cowcat was still here, too. Do you know what he did? He got in my face trying to sniff me, then, of all the nerve! He PUFFED UP at me! I was only growling a bit, sort of letting him sniff, and he got booshy!! Excuse me?

Well, I'm glad that's over with. I'm queen of the computer room again. They say I have to go back for another "de-scaling" in a year. What do you think I am, a fish? Oh, and they have the woman putting something in my food so my joints won't ache as much****. Then I'll be able to groom properly and won't get matted again.

The vet confirmed once again that I'm very healthy. Grumpy and difficult, but healthy. And about that Victor... She explained to my STOOPID woman that when he pokes his paw at me, he's teasing me. DUH! WHY do you think I've been so upset by it? You don't like to be teased, do you? I didn't think so. Now keep that food out where I can find it and leave me the HISS alone.

Chase? I'm ready for some comfort now. You're the only one who truly understands how I feel.

* 15 minutes, tops. We hit every green, even.
** 4 dogs. One was panting and one was barking.
*** She was there 9 hours, not even overnight.
**** Cosequin. BTW, Vet says treats with Glucosamine don't have a large enough dose to be effective.

  3. WOW..you had quite the day. That has only happened to me once and it was when Maggie came to live with us. Huggy, Josie, and I had to go to the groomer for baths, de-matting, and a mani/pedi. Well, we had an unfortunate event happen...that woman gave us sanitary cuts. She shaved from our business end up to our chests. And to quote you "oh, the horror!"

  7. Poor Bonnie!
    And the vet was so wude to call you fat! Haven't they wearned that it's not nice to comment on other's figures?
    And anyway, I don't think you're fat.

  8. Man, you had a real bad day! And then Victor puffed up at you?
    Awful, just awful...

  9. Bonnie, that was some very, very terrible torture you had to go through. Thank goodness you are home and pronounced healthy! Smart idea to hide your veins so they could not steal your bloods. Who would have thought they would take some from your NECK!

    I think it was wrong of Victor to puff up at you. He should have given you a comforting welcome home.

  10. Ugh, the Vet! What a perfectly horrible day you had and to be called fat, the nerve of that vet. And then to get home and puffed at. Geez! We hope your daddy gave you lots of love and attention to calm you down!
    Your FL furiends,

  13. Oh my poor sweet Bonnie! Come here, lets go hide and snuggle. What a horrible experience, I think you handled it the best you could!

    Love,
    Chase

    P.S. In the future the techs LOVE when you poop on them when they're taking your blood. I use that a lot.

    We understand how you feel. WE hide too when the PTU comes out. WE hate going to the Vet. Even if it is for our own good.

    Purrs to you!

  17. oh no! i'd be hissy too bonnie. what an awful day. the only good thing is you'll get something for your joints.
    i say, it is your blood, your mats and certainly your claws and they should be left alone!!
    bendrix sayz that you were probably gassed like we are at the VET and you can't be blamed for falling asleep.

  18. Man, Bonnie, you really got the treatment today! I'm proud of you though, you refrained from disemboweling anyone, and boy! Are they Lucky!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Oh Bonnie, you do look pathetic! It is important to look really pathetic after a trip to the vet. Then they feel really sorry for you. Your Man will feal especially sorry for you because he wasn't there and doesn't know exactly what they did to you.

    I can't believe the audacity of these beans to treat us like this!

    ReplyDelete
  20. Oh Poor Bonnie, I hope those beans make it up to you. That teeth cleaning stuff is the worst. I know that I should go soon. I just hope my mom doesn't remember. My sis takes that same medicine. She gets it wrapped up in a pill pocket, which she loves. It does help her a lot. It took a while for her to show a difference.

  24. Oh Bonnie I am so sorry to hear about yer bad day. Do yoo know what? I had the same fing today and the V E T ripped three teef rite out of my mouf, and now Flynn won't stop hissing at me.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Oooh.. sorry to hear. That sounds like quite the traumatic trip. I HATE going to the vet. I usually complain loudly all the way there... during the appointment ... and all the way home. Luckily, my vet is across the street now. I don't lose my voice anymore. Glad you're home safe and sound!

  26. WHAT'S WITH ALL THIS TOOTH ACTION THIS WEEK?!?!?!

    Everyone who's been untouched better hide while you can!

  27. Poor Bonnie, what horrible treatment for a queen like you.

  28. Hey Bonnie, I am glad that you are Okie and Comfort now. That is just a very tired day~!!! And you are doing very good.

  29. how horrible! I was just over at Eric & Flynn's and saw that Eric was tortured too. when Lucy went to the vet, he said her teeth were dirty. they wanna torture her too. I sure do unnerstand about the paw-poking teasing stuff. Cocoa does that to me all the time. Then I've gotta whap him and chase him and I get yelled at for the whapping and chasing. No fair!
    Grr

    ReplyDelete
  30. by the way...something else not fair - Lucy's tummy is so round the people were sure she was pregnant. I'm a BIG kitty with long legs and big bones and I'm big everywhere - proportionally. Lucy is smaller, but with an extra big tum. So, why did the VET man call her "gorgeous" and "fluffy" and "healthy", but I get called "fat"?
    Grr

  32. Oooh that sounds like an awful day Bonnie. Did you at least get an extra treat when you got home?

    ReplyDelete
  33. Oh Bonnie, I hope you're all recovered from your horrible experience the other day - here you were trying not to go to the vet and I was trying to but no one would take me!

  36. Oh how hysterical. I've been here a handful of times, but you just completely hooked me. That was the cutest description of a vet visit (we went on the 29th too and I'm happy to report that my canine friends got poked and prodded so it happens all the way around).

    This is a great blog and I am so glad you are ok, safe and healthy. You might want to work on those mood swings though. Your mom and dad really don't deserve it ;)

  37. Oh Bonnie, the supplement for your joints in your food is yummy! Then you can have cool food flavors like turkey and giblets AND fish. MMMMM. I hate the vet too. I behave the same way. And I'm not FAT either. So there.

  40. Oh, Bonnie! That sounds like a horrible day. I had a similar experience, but I don't remember much about it... Maybe they will forget about it next year and you won't have to go.

    ReplyDelete
  41. "Wow" Bonnie sounds like you had a rough day at the vet's.I had to laugh when you talked about that small dog.
    I too had a yapping beast bother me at the vet's.Yet I hissed and growled so loud in my carrier he ran and hid behind his mom.They should know better than to mess with us kitty's.

  42. Hi Bonnie, so glad you survived your trip to the VET. I had to go to. awhile back, Mom thought I was acting funny. Guess I'd better stop doing that if it causes a trip to the VET. I got a clean bill of health but I lost almost a pound. VET said she wants to take some of my blood in the near future, what is she a vampire?? She also wants to keep an eye on my weight so I don't loose any more. Hope you got extra treats when you got home.
