How was your Monday? Did you take two cats (who aren't best friends yet) to the vet? No? Well then your day wasn't nearly as entertaining as mine. Coco was due for her annual check-up and Soxy hadn't been to our vet yet so it made sense to schedule them at the same time. Once I realized the logistics were going to be tough, my amazing sis volunteered to come along and help wrangle cats.
We dropped R off at school and we headed out. Vicky took a great video of two cats howling in the backseat and we had that as our musical accompaniment as we drove across town. I kept Soxy in the cardboard carrier we had leftover from Coco's previous visits and let Coco sit on laps or seats as she saw fit. Soxy kept peering through the wholes in the cardboard with her eye and it was a little freaky - like a pirate cat or something.
Okay. Yes I do recognize that this is one whole post devoted to a visit to the vet but really, it's one of the more entertaining moments we've had and it was really fun to go with Vicky who is still fighting her battle with breast cancer but is feeling good enough to accompany cats that she is not legally responsible for to the doctor. What's more fun than that?!

| So thrilled. So very very thrilled. |
Once inside the exam room, I let both cats out while we waited to see the vet. Soxy was brave and explored the room.

| Love this picture - she looks like she's getting ready to read her file on the computer. |
 |
| I didn't know she could stand on her hind legs to check out the shelf. |
Meanwhile, Coco was not in the mood for exploring.
 |
| Still not thrilled. |
Both cats got up to date on their shots and both had a clean bill of health. I took both dogs to the vet last week and they need a supplement for their joints and one of them (Tootsie cough cough) needs a little diet. But not the kitties. They are fluffy and healthy and I'm hoping that their shared traumatic experience will help them be better friends. Or at least to stop fighting in the middle of the night.
