It’s off to the Vets’ I go!!! That’s right – 9AM this morning through the snow we got last night which is lingering this morning and doesn’t really amount to much (thank heavens) – I’m in the car heading to the doc. Mom has had a heck of a time with me lately refusing my pill but managed to get about a third of the pill powder down me yesterday. I AM A LITTLE BOOGER!!! That’s what she tells me when I refuse my pill………tee hee. I know I must quit doing that – I need the meds.
So I’ll be sure and report tomorrow how horrid the visit was although we won’t have my blood work info until tonight or Monday. Don’t worry – I’ll share.
Other than this ridiculous last minute snow which I suppose is supposed to frighten us into thinking winter is coming BAAAAACK, things are nice and quiet around here. That’s because as a special favor to me, Mom and Dad said they would NOT get the Monster out of the closet until TOMORROW! That’s so I can relax when we get home from the doc, and Mom can devote her lap to my needs. Sounds good to me! Mom said she might even fry me up a piece of bacon as a “GOOD BOY” when we get back.
I can’t resist using this photo once in a while – I LOVE IT!
Today is the first official day of Spring…………………isn’t that grand?
Tomorrow at Cat Scouts we’re celebrating Spring with a Sadie Hawkins Party and Dance. That should be fun! I’ll share photos with you after I’ve got some snapped……..we’re having a barn dance and BBQ and all manner of fun.
It’s nice to have something FUN to look forward to isn’t it?
Hugs,
Sammy the Vet Bound Cat
Paws crossed you pass your vet tests, Sammy!

Hi Ms. Phoebe! THanks for the positive thoughts for today’s vet visit. Yes I have been a MAJOR stinker about my meds….I’m hoping the doc will call us tomorrow or Monday and say “even though he doesn’t take his meds regularly his thyroid level is FINE”……..that’s what I’m dreaming for anyway! Mom has promised an abundance of bacon if I behave at the vets…..I’m gonna give it my all! Cat Scouts is SUPER DUPER fun………we’re always doing something grand there and the dance will be going on all day long – we’ll all be exhausted when it’s over! Thanks too for the compliments – makes an old guy feel good!

Hi Sammy, We hope you have a good vet appointment. When I was sick in November and had to take pills and then liquid meds, I really was a “booger” and scratched up my mom pretty good while she was trying to pill me. I hated that liquid stuff. Your mom and dad are sure nice to make you bacon, keep the vacuum hidden and have their laps available for your lap needs – so thoughtful.
Have a restful day after the V-E-T

Hi Calvin…..taking medicine is really just ICKY isn’t it? The doctor says it’s important that I get that one pill a day and told Mom to keep trying things on me that she’d find SOMETHING I’d eat the pill in so that’s what we’re gonna do. Usually I lap it right up in my yogurt but lately – not so much. But Mom’s a very persistent lady so I know we’ll solve this problem!!!! I’m glad you’re feeling better though……being sick is absolutely THE PITS!

Hope your blood work is fine! Xoxo! I don’t like taking meds too. Mom used to hide meds in treats. I would step on it to see if there was med. in there. And then I decided I have had enough so I ignored that entire bag of treat completely. Then it became a two-people job to feed me meds. Dad would hold me so mom could toss the stupid meds in my mouth. But i have to say, I felt so much better after taking those meds so maybe you should try it too.
