WHY, do I have two cats? They needed to go to the vet this AM, to get get fixed. This requires mucho advance-o planning-o, as one of the cats, Lady Hotdog, loathes the cat carrier with the fire of a thousand suns. It terrifies the shit out of her. Sometimes, literally. So, last night, we locked them in the downstairs bathroom, since they're not allowed to eat or drink after midnight. This morning, Doug wakes up, and put them into the carrier. I then get up with virtually no sleep (that is a whole separate story),cranky, with just enough time to shower, drink enough coffee to be coherent, and get the cats to the vets on time. Everything is going swimmingly, until I attempt to PICK UP the carrier. Apparently, if you turn the little black knobs on the sides...the whole thing comes apart. Guess what Lucien did??
So, 10 minutes before we have to be there, I'm tracking down Hotdog. Ruby could have cared less, I just threw her lazy ass back into the bathroom. I finally corner Hotdog, she is clawing the shit out of me as soon as she sees the carrier, I get her in (no small feat), and scream at Caleb "SHUT THE DOOR! SHUT THE DOOR!", while the cat jumpsabout 4 feet in the air (I had the carrier on it's end, so the door was on the top), and takes OFF. Caleb then proceeds to watch the cat run away.
This time, she made it upstairs, where there is no abundance of places to hide.
Half an hour later, all the beds were flipped over, including my king size (working on pure fury at this point, LOL). Eventually, reason kicks in. I opened a can of wet food, and sat patiently.
Two minutes later, here comes Houdini cat, strolling up for breakfast.
We made it to the vets, only about an hour late.
So, feeling guilty, I took all the littles to get some munchkins, figuring a bucket-sized latte couldn't hurt the momma either. You should have seen the confusion on the woman's face when I ordered a "Ginourmous latte please"
"huh? What size"
"The biggest you've got. A bucket would be nice"
"Huh?"
"Large, please".
My humor is lost on some people.
