vet visit and stuff

is over! Thanks everycat for your support it was great to hear from so many of my friends and wow there are some good suggestions too "my cat from hell" gotta check that out. (sorry for this long up date on me)
OK so I screamed at mom all the way there after it was so easy for her to get me in the carrier (I am just to easy sometimes) but we are allowed to play in our carriers and I used to take trips to the country with mom.
Back to the visit once I got there I kinda just shut down totally mom was concerned I had really gotten sick, well i was scared to death we dont' go to the vet for regular shots mom and dad don't think we need them since we are all indoor only. So here I was thinking she was about to ditch me for being a bad peepeeing boy cat. The vet lady poked me and prodded me and put a stick up under my tail then she put a needle in my belly! Said she needed some urine and my bladder was too small for her to express it, well let me tell you I know how to express my own bladder, So I am healthy got no UTI problems and the vet lady told mom there was no way anyone vet would have "forgotten" to ell her if I had would have had fruit in only one cup at the time they took them so they did not even check for that. Mom is still concerned this could be part of my issues.
At this time mom and dad are going to treat my behavior issues. The vet gave mom a number for a animal behaviorist but for now the vet suggested they close off and not allow me out into the enclosure where I might encounter other cats and also to block all the windows downstairs so I cannot see the outside world (not sure how Moe and the others will take to that). I have a calming collar (we have not used that yet mom's not sure about it) and the feliway plug ins are back in the wall. We used to use them when Ivey was here cause she was so aggressive but we have not had one in a while cause it seemed like the rescue remedy was working and we have just tried so many different things! For some reason I have been much calmer since I returned home from the vet who knows why maybe the vet visit made me rethink my position or the plug in is doing it's thang. IF these changes do not help me (mom will watch some of "the cat from hell") then we will maybe see another vet about my fruit cups (really need to check to be sure there is not one left full) Next we will see the behaviorist and as a last result we will try the drugs. Paws crossed I will continue to be as calm and laid back as I have been since I returned home. Everyone welcomed me back without a fuss mom was concerned about their reaction to my scent from the vet. One thang the vet said kinda puzzled mom, she said you never know what might set him off even the visit today might trigger him so watch him for the next 24 hrs you know cats an really hold grudges and he might be upset with you for a while. Well we never heard that kitties hold grudges not really and i have been so very good since we got that visit over with. So do you hold a grudge?
Sorry again for the long post I seem to be very talkative tonight.

vet and I

Well I think it will all be alright but I want mind a few purrs if you don't mind. I will be going to see the vet tomorrow. I have this on again off again problem with marking my territory and mom and dad have tried everything to work with me calming collars, rescue remedy, feliway plug ins, etc... The thing is now we are going to have me checked to see if maybe when I got my fruit cups emptied years ago, maybe something got missed. The vet's office told mom they will do an exam, blood work, maybe some urine just to be sure I have not developed some type of health issues. I don't act sick but I don't like strange kitties in my yard I get so stressed! So after they check me to make sure I am still in totally good health, then I will need to get an x-ray and see if I might have to have surgery and if that is not the case and my issues are just territory marking, then we might have to get me some anti anexitity drugs. Mom does not want to do this but there doesn't seem to be any other way. We got new drapes several times and replaced carpets with tile, and replaced a bed an a couch and now i might end up drugged. :(
So we will take it one day at a time just like we have been and start with having me checked again to be sure there are no health issues.
Little nervous about this I do not care for vets...

who is that kitty?

It's Little BOy! That right Heeeeeeeerrrrrr's Little Boy! KCK kitty of the week thanks to this awsome group of catster kitties for this great honor! Mom was gone for a couple of days and she came home to find out I have been awarded this great honor. If you get a chance go over to KCK and check out the COTW thread....see it ? that 's me! I am loving my time in the spot light.
In other news here on the home front I am a real lover when I am in the mood for love. I am not always in the mood but mom really likes it when come up to her and look for some one on one time, I nuzzle her neck and make biscuits and I even drool a little. Tonight I spent a little time with her like that just to let her know I still love her even though she left us here with dad for two days without her, and we love dad (callie is a real daddy's girl) but mom is ....well there is no human like mom.
