Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for January 16, 2024

Starting from scratch.

Nothing to it. Piece of cake. NOT.

Really?

I take my cat Cruiser on Friday.

Not too bad.

Now he’ll have that fever.

Awww! The Kitty looks so innocent!

You mean you can’t figure it out on your own?

She did fine. I, on the other hand, did not.

What do you think? Look at me!

I put a bowl of food in the carrier and the cat just walked straight inside, no questions asked.

(1) Wrap Kitty in tower, (2) slip her inside quick and (3) close the gate,

First stop is seeing the vet for the cat. Second stop, the urgent care clinic, for the human.

No blood?

Step one: buy dart gun and tranquilizers (use also on yourself AFTER getting the cat in the cage).

Our vet prescribed two calming melatonin treats to give our cat before a vet visit. He ate the first one and then kicked the second one under the fridge. Calmly.

I wonder how to manage multiple cats.

Or….JEEZ!

“The usual”.

You had to ask?

terrible… can I go to the hospital while you look at the cat. :J

What does the vet do to get it out and exam it?

I just scoot them in backwards. Getting them out at the vet is another matter.

And that’s why my carrier comes in two pieces. Take the top off, drop cat in, quickly put top back on. Bolt down.

He had trouble kitten her in there.

…take a guess!

Furry well. Why do you ask?

noy do i remember those days. still have a few

Just put them in butt first. They don’t see it coming.

I’m thinking situational analysis is not one of your strong points Doc.

That vet better watch herself.

it was trying to find the escape claws…

Fine. She resisted a little at first…

Get her nails trimmed while you’re there.

Try this: For Better or For Worse, 6/21/05.

Don’t trust this vet. She clearly needs her eyes checked.

Um, wouldn’t the cat not suspect anything on the first visit? Now, the second one…
