Hello everyone, It's Emily. I am enjoying the view of the apartment from the top of the "forbidden" table. The big news this week is Winston's visit to the vet for a spa day.
A kind friend drove Mom and Winston to the vet's office. Winston rewarded K's kindness with a plaintive rendition of "the song of my people". I think we all would have been impressed!

Mom then left Winston at the vet's office and awaited the phone call for when his grooming session was complete.

Mom didn't have to wait too long for the vet to call. When she got to Dr. B's office she discovered that both Dr. B and the vet tech were smiling. Apparently, Winston needed a mild sedative to keep him calm and he got all loopy. The vet told Mom that it was the equivalent of having a few glasses of wine. Please don't tell anybody because Winston would be dreadfully embarrassed but he got all lovey-dovey with the vet. He tried to play with her stethoscope. He got all snuggly and cuddly. They thought he was adorable! There goes Winston's tough feline image.
Mom asked if they took any photos. Sadly, the vet said no. They had to concentrate on getting out his matts, trimming his claws and other such things.
She decided to walk home with Winston to save money on the cab fare. She also thought the fresh air might do Winston some good. However, Mom made several stops to put down the kitty carrier and rest. Winston was acting a bit like a grumpy cat.
Mom got him home safe and sound. However, he was pretty out of it for the rest of the day!
Here is looking all handsome but a bit unsteady!
In other news. Our catnip plant met a sad end. Somebody *Winston* may have knocked it over onto the floor. Mom was happy to have had a plant for more than 2 months. A new record.
I will close with this lovely photo of Winston. He is feeling more like himself again and looking even more debonair that before!
Hoping everyone has a great week.
Emily and Winston
Winston, we'll never tell that the sedative made you a bit silly and extra lovey. 😄
ReplyDeleteWe suspect that you feel a lot better with your mats out and fur trimmed up, especially in this heat.
BTW, we sure hope you don't live far from the vet clinic, because carrying a kitty on foot isn't easy or fun.
Purrs to you all for a good week ahead.
We are glad that the spa visit went well, Winston. Not that we're going to talk about it or anything!
ReplyDeleteAh Winston, what fun you had at the Vet. lol Have a great week kitties. I hated my visit to the vet, they took more of my blood. :( Purrs Skipper
ReplyDeleteWinston, did you get a bit of a shave in your nether regions, since you are so floofy?!? Oh dear, how rude of me to mention it...
ReplyDeleteWinston, you look extra handsome! And your carrier is very stylish. XO
ReplyDeleteOh Winston! You know our Mama thinks you are extra handsome and she would have loved some of your loopy attention ;p
ReplyDeleteWe hope you are enjoying your summer xx
