To the vet!

Yesterday we took all three cats to the vet for nail clipping. This is how they looked as we got ready and everyone in their cages for the adventure. It is easy to get them into the cages - you just have to throw some treats in there and they rush in and you quickly shut the door behind them. SLAM!

But the older they get the wiser they get. Felix puts up a little bit of a stink but if you plop him right in, include snacks in the mix and then get that gate shut just as fast as you can it usually works.

At the vet, there were four little kittens running around. They were curious about the three black radishes, crept up to the cages and peered in. Felix let out a loud short HISSSSSSSS. Simone did her Bruce Lee sounds followed by a long and very dramatic HISSSSSSSSS. Lulu didn't mind the little ones one bit! No hissing at all.


Lulu hasn't quite picked up on the fact that the cages usually mean a yucky car ride (they hate that part) and often end in a painful shot or something else unpleasant at the vet. As you can see, after we came home yesterday she decided condo living was for her and shacked up in this cage for her afternoon snooze.
