It was time to take one of my cats to the vets this morning for his annual checkup. It's days like today when I feel like such a terrible mom.
Connor hates trips in the car and visits to the vets even more. Each cry that comes out his little mouth is like a stab to my heart and he cried the entire way there and back.
Isn't it funny how time seems to slow down when you're in the midst of something like that. A fifteen minute car journey suddenly feels like it's two hours long.
Thankfully he is blessed with a short memory and now that he's back home he's our happy little love bug once again.
Oh, I SO know the feeling! We have 3 kitties, and every trip to the vet is such a trial! XO!
ReplyDeleteMy 3 don't travel well either and I've been postponing the visit.
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought I'd take all 3, now maybe 1 at a time. Not sure.
just dropping by from jakarta indonesia :) to say hi... :)
ReplyDeleteHe is simply adorable! I know what you mean about time appearing to stand still especially when you need things to go by quickly!
ReplyDeleteLook at that face! My cats loathe the car. Whenever I see people riding around with happy doggies all hanging out the window, I think, yeah, dogs are different.
ReplyDeleteBack when I had cats...I do so remember the awful trials and tribulations of the pet carrier, car ride and vet visit. They just don't understand it is because we love them!
ReplyDeleteSo glad yours had short term memory..mine always seem to be angry with me for, at least, a day or two.
It's good to see I'm not the only one who feels bad about taking my cat to the vet . . . .
