I am up at 5am on my day off… why? Not because I have an infant son keeping me up, though that will be coming soon! No, it’s because Clyde needs his teeth cleaned, so we had to take up the food and water last night, and he’s NOT a happy camper! He has been meowing nonstop since about midnight. I finally got sick of it, and thought maybe Dave could use an hour of peace before he has to get up for work, so I just got up to sit with him. It seems to have calmed him down… for now.
Next up for him is the car ride to the vet’s office. It’s only 5 minutes away, but it will be as tortuous for him as the night without food and water. He’s been known to make himself foam at the mouth with stress from the ride… if it weren’t going to be so hot outside, and I weren’t so pregnant, I’d strap a harness to him and walk him up there like a puppy. And he’d probably love that too.
We’ll have to get him a harness one day, but practice with him before actually trying to walk him anywhere. I can’t imagine it’d be easy for a cat, especially of his age (9), to learn how to walk on a harness and leash. I wouldn’t be surprised, though, if once he learned he’d beg us to take him for daily walks… lol.
Well, that is all for this entry… just thought I’d share…
