The Kid Sage Always Comes Through

HIYA!!  SAVANNAH HERE!!!

I have to hand it to TKS...she's a champion of determination

I have to hand it to TKS…she’s a champion of determination

I have to hand it to The Kid Sage. She learns from her mistakes, pays her dues and she always comes through. Now does that remind anyone (aka my BFGF CK) of a certain song????

I mean, TKS just never gives up when she has set a goal for herself…case in point…

PAW PATS, SAVANNAH

peeEss…I have not visited nor commented for a few days now. We have been working on my…ummm…ahhh..(excuse me for such distasteful subjects)…sigh…anyway…my tummy gurgles went away for a whole week; just to return today..And…sadly, I have not been leaving my normal ‘solid’ deposits in my litter box for a week. You guessed it…the vet again. And…Mom L has been spending hours sorting out performance issues with my laptop. I apologize for going missing in comments.

How Ticklish Are You?

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

I like to invite Mom L to play with me sometimes. She can make me giggle like a kitten. I wonder if any of you ever have one of those play sessions where you can hardly breathe because you are laughing so hard?

Just hanging out; wanna play with me Mom?

Just hanging out; wanna play with me Mom?

Aiiieeee!!! Stop it Mom…stop it…I am gasping to breathe…you are tickling my armpits!!

*giggle giggle* Stop it Mom! You're killin' me

*giggle giggle* Stop it Mom! You’re killin’ me

Sometimes I have to take charge and try to kill the fevver before Mom L makes it tickle my tummy again.

Take that you ticklish fevver

Take that you ticklish fevver

Mom L can make my peacock fevver do crazy things.

My Mom cracks me up when we play fevver!

My Mom cracks me up when we play fevver!

Do you ever get the giggles when you play?

Cat Vet Techs at Work

HIYA!!  SAVANNAH HERE!!!

It was the best of times and then the worst of times arrived. Nothing ‘epoch’ about these times whatsoever. Until the words ‘Vet Visit’ were spoken.

No!! Not the VET!!!

No!! Not the VET!!!

I have not been feeling well for some weeks. Nothing urgent, but I am back to being very constipated. In turn, I have become lethargic, not playing and in less than 5 months I gained a WHOLE POUND (1/2 kg).

Finally the dreaded first vet visit was set. They stole my bloods and stuffed some water under my skin like they thought I was a camel! And then they stuck a needle in me with some Pepcid. Great! All the tests came back normal.

The Pepcid lasted 24 hours but then my tummy was gurgling again; so the second vet visit was set and this one required a lot of Cat Vet Techs to assist. My favorite DVM is Dr Melanie, who owns Civic Feline Clinic. She has specially trained all her Cat Vet Techs, or so I always thought.

First, I was greeted by the Reception Cat Vet Tech. Looked like he was on a lunch break or something. Lazy cat.

Come back later. It's my break time

Come back later. It’s my break time

Next, I get shown into my own personal exam room…only to find I am not alone. Another Cat Vet Tech is already lying there waiting to take my weight and temp. He was really big and I practically started biting my claws out of anxiety!

I'm busy here; have a seat.

I’m busy here; have a seat.

Finally I was taken out of my exam room for my x-ray and I could hear all the Cat Vet Techs padding into my personal exam room.

MOUSES! They were having a staff meeting in my room! What the dickens were they saying about me??? (hover over photo to view captions please)

Thankfully my special Dr Melanie came in to talk with Mom L and Dad P and me about my xray results. She was far more professional than all the Cat Vet Techs.

Looks ok, but.....

Looks ok, but…..

There was even a Cat Vet Tech in the waiting room staring at me while we paid our bill. Shifty eyes if you ask me.

You're going now? Nice!

You’re going now? Nice!

As we left, the big gray fat Cat Vet Tech hopped back on my exam table and said something I swear sounded like “don’t let that door hit ya on the way out kid”…and then I am certain I heard several other Cat Vet Techs letting out guffaws! Terribly unprofessional I must say.

Watch your hind end kid...heh...heh

Watch your hind end kid…heh…heh

Unfortunately, my xray results were a little unclear so I had to return in a few days for the dreaded shaving of my tummy so they could do an ultrasound.

My ultrasound was great.

Next time you go to your DVM, be careful about any Cat Vet Techs. They can be very pushy and intrusive…just sayin’
