Vet Adventure

Hi Catsters!!

I just have to tell you about my latest adventure.

It all started when mom noticed me licking my back paw. She tried to look at it but I would not let her. She thought it looked like it might have some dried blood on it. It kinda worried her but I was running, jumping and playing like normal. A couple days passed and she noticed me licking it again. This time she waited until I fell asleep and got a good look at it. Sure enough there was blood in the fur around my paw pad and the pad appeared to be pinker than normal. So unlucky for me, the next morning I see my carrier sitting out. Well, I had not seen it in a while and I was a little curious. When I jumped in it to check it out, down came the lid. I was stuck, like a caged lion!
Mom proceeded to cart me off to the V-E-T!! Yikes, I was not happy about this at all. Not only did she take me there, but she left me while she went to work. I was really not happy about the whole situation. I decided I was not going to go down without a fight. I heard mom tell the lady at the front desk that I had Dr. Jeckyll and Mr Hyde tendencies and the lady wrote something on my chart letting the girls in the back know to watch out for me. Well, I decided then I was going to give it to them with both barrels. I snickered as I heard mom ask them to trim my claws. Muhahaha, I was already making my plans. The vet checked me out and found I had a pretty bad laceration on my paw. They cleaned it out and attempted to trim my claws. They were able to get the back ones clipped but I was not about to let them touch my lovely talons on my front paws. I decided to make a break for it. I broke free and tried to make my escape. If only I had known which way home was and how to get out the door. They chased me and tried to catch me, but I was going to outsmart them. Well, I thought I was. That was until Amy, the vet tech, brought out the net. Yes kitties a net. Can you believe she captured me with a net? I say that is cheating. How is a little guy supposed to escape when they have a net to drop on him?
There is a little good news in all of this, they never got my front paws clipped. They tried later, but I growled and hissed until they gave up.
I guess I won this battle and I am preparing for the next one. I overheard them telling mom she has to bring me back next week to check on my paw. I also heard Amy telling mom she would get my front paws clipped when I came back. They also gave mom some yucky stuff called antibiotics to give me. I tell you the stuff is nasty. They are going to pay for this, just you wait and see.

I gotta go now, I have to sharpen these wonderful claws of mine. I must be prepared for my next visit to the evil Vet!!

Oh before I go, I have to thank my bestest friend Joy for the cuppycake and the refreshing saucer of milk she left me. It was YUMMY!!!
And a big thank you to my Kitty God Mom Hazel Lucy for the rosette she left congratulating me on my second year of being on Catster. Silly me, I was so busy trying to escape the vet to even notice I had a new candle on my Catster cake!!!

Love,
Dexter
