Posted by Julie in : Da Cats , trackbackJulie’s recipe for a rip-roarin’ afternoon:
1 cat who hates the vet and carriers
1 carrier
1 vet
2 Wee-Wee Mats
1 rainy afternoon
Beer
Layer Wee-Wee Mats in carrier. Force cat into carrier, avoiding scratches. Wrap blanket around carrier. Ignore cat’s yowls for help. Put cat and carrier on grocery cart and push to vet’s office. Take cat out of carrier, take top Wee-Wee Mat (which cat has pissed all over in his fear of the vet) out of carrier, throw away. Bring vet in, have vet draw cat’s blood. Put cat back in carrier, wrap blanket around carrier, ignore cat’s yowls for help on the way home. Take cat out of carrier, take Wee-Wee Mat (which cat has shit all over in his fear of the carrier and the vet) out and throw it away. Attempt to clean shit which cat has sat in off of cat’s fur with paper towels, water, and Nature’s Miracle. When worst of shit is out of cat’s fur and no more can be cleaned, release cat to lick the rest of the shit off himself. Drink beer.
Good times - blood results tomorrow.

Um…where did you get the shopping cart?
Damn. I feel I should hug Ferris right now just because he’s lying here not covered in shit.
I feel for ya, been there. Ferris is very healthy but Beanie, who was always kind of sickly, made frequent trips to the vet. One time this medication he was on gave him diarrhea, so I was hosing him down in the tub to get all the yucky off his bum, and I totally hurled. Luckily I whipped my head around fast enough to get it to the toilet, but that gave Bean the chance to jump out of the tub with a wet behind that wasn’t quite clean yet.
The things we do for the little people we love.
Oh Holy Cat! I didn’t realize how lucky I have been. The worst cat carrier experience I’ve ever had was Sammy’s (God rest his soul) very loud howling. Lilly always curled up and took a nap - and the vet is only 5 minutes from here. Even crazy ass Rufus just sits in there and does nothing. As for Jake, I think my husband took him and he just meowed. Now I feel like an ass for hating cleaning up the cat puke today. It was on the sealed cement floor of the cats’ room. I tell about my cat room here:

It’s a long boring post so the cat room stuff is near the bottom.
Julie, you are truly a cat lover.
Gawd, poor you. ICK.
I guess as a pet mommy we take the good and the bad, but does it have to be THAT bad?
Katey~They’re those personal shopping carts - little wire boxes on four wheels. De rigeur in the Outer Boroughs of NYC where many of us don’t have cars and live a ways from stores/laundromats/etc.
Tot~I came damn close to hurling yesterday while I was cleaning him off. And *he* hurled this morning, a result I think of cleaning the rest of the shit off himself. I felt bad for him.
Geewits~Cleaning up cat puke is never ever pleasant - I totally understand the repulsion. Jesse *hates* the carrier. I have to sneak it into the bathroom while he’s not looking, open the carrier door, and then close the shower door so he can’t see it. And then I bring him into the bathroom, plop him in the tub, and wrestle him into the carrier. And he weighed in at 20.1 lbs. yesterday, so wrestling with him is not easy. And there are always two layers of Wee-Wee Mats in the carrier so that he can ruin one going to the vet and the other one coming back. It’s traumatic for him, because we only ever go there to get his blood drawn and they generally shave his neck to do that. I feel his pain.
Lisa~After a couple of beers it wasn’t that bad. But it makes me dread the car trip to Pittsburgh with him in November!!
Don’t worry Julz, he’ll fit in the trunk. We’ll soundproof it…
Julz, I hope when you have a kid you don’t allow the kid to lick shit of him/herself. Otherwise, I think you are a good mom.
I meant “off”
Rick~We are not sticking the cat in the trunk. He’ll ride in my lap. All 20.1 pounds of him.
Lori~A kid I can force in the shower. Not so much with a cat.
So how much beer was involved? Sounds like many bottles.
Oh, I have one of those. I was picturing, ya know, like a Target cart you had stashed in your studio.
Vince~Three cans. And a Johnny Depp movie, I am not ashamed to admit.
Katey~Nope, not a Target cart, but it’s heavy duty nonetheless. Has to be, to carry a 20 lb. Piss Crusader!
Sounds like the makings of a decent reality show! Project Kittyway
What’s the name of that place that advertised on TV all the time when I was a kid… a pet store, that promised “free housebreaking wee-wee pads”? Man, those ads take me back, just like Crazy Eddie’s or the one with the weird voice announcing, “HAHAHAHAHA…. RRRRRACEWAY PARK!”
Michael~I just heard that damned RRRRACEWAY PARK ad today! And are you thinking of Petland Discounts, “for the best care a pet can get”?
Seamus~Oh yeah, reality tv at my house would be a blast. I need to set up a webcam!
When is mom getting him back? Not soon enough huh?! Thankfully you had beer. Beer makes shitty days less shitty. LOL
Lois~Mom gets him back the first week of November. And after he peed on the living room carpet this morning, nope, not soon enough.
