It was with
considerable trepidation that we prepared to take our cat Moth to the
Vet for the removal of her C section stitches. I knew that there
would be no way that she would go willingly into her carry basket
this time and I was right.
It took four attempts
by which time I was scratched to pieces and my shirt was torn across
the front.
Never the less we
prevailed and when the taxi arrived my son took a squalling,
spitting,very angry small cat to have her stitches out.
At the other end it
took three persons to handle her while the stitches were removed,her
immunisation administered and a birth control shot! Yes unbelievable
though it may seem she is in season ,a mere ten days after her
caesarian, and the local Tom cats know it!!!
By the time they
returned I had bathed my many scratches with surgical spirit and
applied dressings were necessary, and consigned my almost new shirt
to the rag bag.
For the first hour or
so she avoided my company and it was at least a couple of hours after
that before she stopped giving me the air. Now we are the best of
friends again,we have only to prevent he going out for a week and all
will be well.......until a week later when she goes to the vet again
for her booster shots.
If anyone out there has
a suit of armour I would be happy to hire it for a day or two....just
name your price!
