Suzanne’s Plan for yesterday: Blog, email, figure out how to strip hero, take cat to vet at 2:30.
Buttercup’s Plan for yesterday: Sleep, eat, sleep, eat, figure out how to strip a squirrel, pretend to sleep, dart out door at 2:15 and head down driveway with middle finger pointed up at human who thought she would take him to vet.
Plan for today: new appointment, battle re-engaged.

I believe your cat and my parent’s cat are communicating via CAT-ESP. I swear, when I walk through the door, she actually sighs and rolls her eyes. You again? Did you ever corral her?

I have a cat – Mackenzie – who is still half feral and trying to round her up for anything is a trial. To give her medicine I have to sneak up on her on the bed and quickly throw a blanket or something over her and struggle to keep her under said blanket while trying to put a pill down her throat. She bit me once when I tried to give her a pill without the blanket.

😆 I like Buttercup’s plan. Well, except the squirrel part. :yuck:
I hate taking my cat to the vet. I always 😥

LOL, Sonja!
Eve, I saw that!!! He better be giving one darn amazing critique for that!!:shocked:

Sonja – followed the link :rotfl:
Suzanne – for that much money he’d better be giving a damn dissertation!:whip:

OMG Suzanne! THIS is exactly why I do not own cats. The idea of an animal that walks on all fours, yet is smarter than I am scares the bejeezus out of me!

Oh Buttercup, haven’t you learned that in the end you do not get away with it – the appointment comes sooner or later!! Just get it over with and then go squirrel hunting or whatever fancies your heart.:wink:

I have been wrangling Annaof’s cats this week. For a small price I can come over and cat wrangle for you. It is my special power MWAhahahahahahaha

That’s why I have dogs. When it’s time to go to the vet, if necessary, I just lure them into the truck with bologna.

Eve’s comment about administering medicine to her cat cracked me up. It reminded me of the time I had to corner mine in the laundry room. She growled, hissed, and hid behind the washer, but she still got her damn pill. And then quickly hocked it up. :talktothehand:

I hate it when they hack the pill back up. I have this really funny piece about giving a pill to a cat – now if I can only find it then I would send it to Suzanne!

I blogged about my dog hiding her pills in her cheek and spitting them out later today!

Jill has her bear and you have your cat. I’d say the score is Animals 5000, Humans 2. 😀

LoryKC says:
This is why I don’t have a cat either. OK–I’m allergic too but that’s beside the point. I get enough attitude from everyone else, don’t need it from a pet! (An animal that can flip a bird is just not something I’m willing to deal with!)
Good luck with that though! :wave:

LoryKC says:
OK–followed some of the links a little late. Dogs too, huh? We were just about to get one of those…maybe we’ll wait a bit. I’ve been enjoying the past 7 years of no vet trips anyway.
So how’s the progress with the hero? What’s he wearin’ now? :wigglebrow:

Yes, I think being named after a Powerpuff Girl has had a negative impact on his attitude!

Danica says:
Totally agree with Lynn. The problem with cats is they just don’t fall for human tricks like dogs. I can even have a pretend treat in my hand and our idiot, er, rodent, er dog, will do my bidding.

I’ve been needing to take my kitten to the vet for a month now to have him fixed, but I just look at him and frown cause I hate doing it. Even if I know its better in the long run. So I keep putting it off.

Well my little Devlin is getting a snip/snip (as my mother calls it) next month and I can’t wait – I do not want a cat spraying in the house.

Yep, that’s one of the reasons I have no pet at the moment. I don’t think I could put up with having to fight some- thing/one else.
You sure do seem to be having fun with your menagerie, Suzanne.:wigglebrow:
