Charlotte Had a Rough Morning

Poor Charlotte. She has had a rough morning. When I got up this morning, I could not find her anywhere in my apartment. I didn't see any holes in the window screens so I knew she HAD to be inside...somewhere. I live on a 2nd floor apartment and decided to go down the steps to my front door. Guess who was in between my apartment door and the door that leads to go outside? CHARLOTTE!! She has either been there since last night at 9:30 pm when I took out the trash OR she mangaged to open the door (sometimes it doesn't stay closed correctly when a certain amount of force pushes on the door) and then shut it!! She was happy to see me!!

BUT... it does not end there. Charlotte was supposed to have a vet appointment this morning. Last year, the vet told me that he only wanted to see Charlotte every 3 years because she is such a "handful". It's true. Charlotte is a nightmare at the vet. Anyway, I got a postcard from the vet last week stating they wanted her to come in for an annual physical exam. When I called the vet's office, I asked them if she had to come in for the exam because I thought we were on the 3 year plan. Well, needless to say.... the appointment was made. Anway, after I arrived at the vet's office, one of the vet assistants came over to me and said... "I read Charlotte's file. She isn't supposed to be here for another 2 years due to her violent behavior while being examined. It's our mistake for having sent the postcard and not reading her file." They offered to exam Charlotte if I felt she needed it. I REALLY didn't want to put Charlotte through the exam and I know she is healthy. I did have them run and stool test since I already had the sample with me. MAYBE this was a better morning for her than expected.

Oh and I did try the vanilla trick this time. I'm not sure how well it worked being that she didn't actually get examined.

Oh poor Charlotte. Getting wedged between the doors! My Tiggy has spent a night in a linen closet before. He doesn't really meow. Kind of murmurs when he wants something, so he couldn't even really mew to get out. He was ok though when I found him, but very happy to see me! Then he flew to his litter box!

Poor Charlotte!! I can only imagine what she must have been thinking, stuck between those doors! Scritches behind the ears, babycat, you sound as if you could use some extras.

Well, the space between the 2 doors is about 2x3 feet so it's not as though she was uncomfortable space-wise. And yes, Charlotte used the litterbox within 5 minutes. Wow!! Can that cat hold A LOT of pee!! She also did #2!! She's not a very vocal cat either and, when she does vocalize, it's very soft and sweet. Sure...like the vet would believe she's sweet.

And come to think of it, maybe that's why Izzie was meowing so loudly into my face!! I thought she was just being her usual morning alarm that wouldn't turn off.

Poor Charlotte. Glad to hear she's okay.

...poor Sweetie!! ....give to her a big hug from me...

Poor Charlotte! Maybe going to the vet, but not going to the vet , will make her think that it's not always so bad.

Aww! I did that once, my Gordito did the same thing.. except he was only in the hall for about 3 hours.

AAWWW. Poor girl!! Glad to hear everything was better though!

What a rough morning for Charlotte!! Poor kitty!
