Think I owe my cat some tuna? [View all]

So, today was his first trip to the vet. Sadly, I did not have a carrier, and my friend who said she would drop hers off for me today wasn't able to.

Vet is about 15 minutes away. Most of the ride over, he spent underneath my seat. I then had to move the seat to get him out of the car. We then had to sit in the crowded waiting room with lots of dogs. Then he got weighed, his temperature taken (oh, the indignity), three needle jabs, and medicine down the ears. (I was able to purchase a used carrier there that someone had left for $10.)

However, he'd apparently had enough by the time we were done with the car ride home. He peed all over the carrier. And himself. So then he got a bath when we get home. And I still have to get a flea pill down him. .... And next week, he loses his jewels.

I feel like a terrible kitty momma, even if the $200 that is getting spent on him these two weeks should say I'm a great kitty momma.

Someone just needs to tell that to my cat, who is hiding under the bed and won't come out.
