With holidays looming I was just checking the cats vaccination certificates and found that Katie was due for her booster, I dutifully booked her in to the vets………………..
Katie is a small cat, and has been ever since we got her from the Woodgreen Animal Shelter she is active and eats like a horse.
The vet prodded and poked her and said “shes lost some weight since you were last here” I explained that she was always small “mmm we had better do some tests they won’t take long” said the vet and rattled off something that was out of the script of Holby City with a price tag that would feed a third world country.
The vet told me to wait in the waiting room and they would get a blood sample and give Katie her booster.
That’s what she thought…………………..a yowl rent the air…….. it sounded like Katie was objecting to giving blood, normally she doesn’t make any noise unless she’s killing her stuffed mouse.
The vet appeared a mite dishevelled and bloody ”she’s a bit feisty, can you give us an hour to calm her down and take the sample”……………………………….
An hour later I went back to pick Katie up…………. well the vet looked worse than Katie ” we got a blood sample but we haven’t given her her booster yet she’s too upset”……………”Upset” looking at Katie sat quietly in her basket having a wash………….no you don’t say……..
Leaving the vets with a smug cat and the “Call us on Monday for the results” ringing in my ear. and a wallet £76 lighter and still no booster……………
Groundhog Day………………
