Re: Boyfriend is disgruntled



What a good boy! (Although all the wailing and wowling made me smile :) )

because he's just been to TED. No, he isn't ill, but I had to go there
anyway to pick up KFC's prescription diet after work so I thought why not
try and get an appointment to have him microchipped at the same time? I
was
lucky, there was just one ten minute appointment left today so I booked
it.

Poor lad. He turned like a snake, in a lightning move as soon as I put
him
in the carrier and nearly got out..I had to push him back and slam the
door
in his face which I felt bad about.
He wowled and wailed all the way there, trying the mesh with his claws. I
had put him on the passenger seat so he could see me but he suspected the
snip again I think ;-) and he was not consolable.
He wowled and wailed in the vet's waiting room until he saw a d*g. and
then
another d*g and then he became very quiet.
Once in the surgery he came out of the carrier and hunkered down on the
table. TED said she would check him for a microchip as he had been a lost
kitty, but I knew he didn't have one as I had him checked when he went for
the snip, but said go ahead anyway. There wasn't one.
She asked me if I was happy to hold him while the procedure was done and I
said yes. She looked at my bare arms and said she thought it would be a
good idea if she asked a nurse to hold him as they sometimes react because
the needle to insert the microchip is so large.
So I said okay, if you think so, but I would be very surprised indeed if
he
scratched or bit, she said well, maybe, but just let's be safe.
So the nurse held him while I stood next to him and touched his head.
Boyfie did not flinch at all as his chip was put in. He did not move a
muscle.

It was probably because he was frightened. I dare say different cats
react
differently to these sorts of situations. Kitty Farmcat - in her prime -
would certainly have shredded as much nursey/teddy skin as she could have
reached in those circumstances. Boyfriend is a gentle and sensitive
soul.
Faced with such an assault from a human, far from fighting, he would
prefer
to faint.
He wowled and wept all the way home, 20 minutes journey. Once in the
house
and out of the carrier he sat in the kitchen, contemplating meowmie's
betrayal. He flounced up the stairs to the spare bed to rest. He was
very,
very disgruntled.

After an hour's thought, he's back downstairs, chowed down a bit and is
now
out on rat patrol!
