Best wishes comin' your way!!! She'll be fine - just focus on how happy she'll be when she comes back home! ...But you're nervous because you're such a good kitty mommy!
Well, it's been postponed! The doctor couldn't make it in today so it will happen on Tuesday.
Instead, we had her get her shots. She was totally fine at first rubbing up to people. Then when they brought the little viles out with the needles she freaked! She jumped under my partner's coat crawled all away around the back then up and into the sleeve of his jacket (with his arm in there by the way!). She would not come out, and even when my partner took off his jacket and layed in on the examination table she just hung onto it with all her might!
We finally got her out and gave her the shots! But she was not one happy camper!
With this reaction today, can't wait till Tuesday (not!)
The very first day we took Lazlo to the Vet (the day after we rescued him and brought him inside) he did the EXACT same thing to Gary! (It's a large part of why Gary's heart melted and he fell in love with the little guy). We had NOTHING for cats at the time (except Booger's bed), so Gary carried Lazlo in his shirt (Laz loved burying himself into the crook of Gary's arm). When we left - we had to go to the Pet Store to get a litterbox, etc. Laz was fine in Gary's shirt until someone tried to peek in at him - and around back and down the sleeve he went! Gary had to take his shirt off in the Pet Store (and with Laz stuck in there, it wasn't easy)! LOL!
Little Nakita might not be happy for a bit, but she'll forgive you!
Our thoughts are with you, and I'm with Christy - may angels watch over you and Nakita on Tuesday.
Sending Nakita a BIG CAT KISS....Really, she'll be fine - however I can relate to how you are feeling. I am a nervous Nellie with my boys, too… We do not like trips to the Vet —I have to sedate my little Spot. I think I end up more traumatized in the end...LOL!
Heck - my 4 boys Rule me...Example; They know mommy won't vacuum because it might upset them....hence, we got rid of the carpet and replaced the floors with tile & wood—It's no wonder they didn't take part in picking out colors—
They just kick back, lounging about the house —it's as if they were saying to each other—"God she loves us.....wonder what else we can get her to do?"
I'll say a little prayer for Nakita....and one for mommy, too!
