Today was teeth cleaning day for Charlie the cat. Which meant no food after 9 pm last night for both cats. The kitty feeder normally goes off around 6 am - which means I normally don't get woken up by hungry cats. But alas I had to turn it off so this morning Biscuit started walking all over me while meowing. He knew I was 'awake' but I was refusing to get up. After Mr. Red left Charlie even joined him.
But alas no food for them. About 10 to 8 I pulled the kitty carrier down and they both glared at me from the empty feeder. Charlie was not happy when I grabbed him and unceremoniously dumped him in the carrier. Then he got pissed. Howling and struggling you'd think I or the carrier was maiming him.
Fed Biscuit and walked out the house with kitty in tow. More howling and meowing. The 10 min drive to the vet: yep more howling and meowing. Get in the vet - silent kitty.
When the vet tech called me later - oh man was he angry. Clean bill of health, but the vet tech was telling me how anytime someone walked into the cage room you could hear him growling and how much he did not appreciate all the fuss (blood work, anesthesia etc...) earlier. He also weighs 16 lbs.
I went and picked him up around 1 because I knew getting him home would calm him down some. When the tech brought him out I could hear him growling 10 feet away. He stopped when I put my hand next to the carrier and he could smell me. But man was he pissed. Tech's comment - we normally try to brush/clean their face up but he was having none of it. That's my boy.
Drive home he meowed.
Earlier he sat down next to me and I grabbed him to love on him - oh still pissed off cat.
He's now curled up next to me purrrrrring away with biscuit on the other side of him.
I'm a mean kitty mamma.
