Today was not a good day ...

I should have known something fishy was going on when that funny plastic box appeared in the hallway this morning.

I was taking my late-morning catnap when Mommy snatched me off the top of the cat tree and put me in that plastic box. It smells like other kitties and I was scared -- especially when I couldn't see what was going on around me outside the box and suddenly it felt like I was floating! I heard all sorts of strange noises and bumps and it was cold.

Then I smelled a lot of different animals; a lot of them were scared, too. I could tell. Someone that I didn't know (she was wearing a white coat) took me out of my box and put me on a cold metal thing, and then put me back in my box. I don't know what that was about.

Then soon my Mommy took me out of the box and climbed up her shirt and curled up in her arms and tried to hide in her hair. It wasn't a good hidey spot; Mommy's hair is too short to hide in, I think, since the people in the white coats found me.

They petted me at first, but then ... then they stuck something up my butt! That was NOT fun, let me tell you! Then they stuck two (2!!) sharp, pointy things into me, one into my shoulder and another one into my thigh.

After that it was more noises and cold, but that didn't last long and pretty soon the box opened and I smelled home.

I slept on the bed for a while, since everything tired me out. After Mommy left for work I started feeling not-too-good, and I threw up all over the upstairs hallway and the office. Then when Daddy came home he stepped in it. Sorry Daddy.

Well, one good thing that happened is that Mommy bought me and my sister pretty pink dangly things for our collars. They have our names on them!
