Howlidays: Take Your Cat to the Vet Day
It may be one of Choppy’s favorite days of the year, but all-too-soon, Take Your Dog to the Vet Day will roll around again and Choppy won’t be so quick to laugh.
Travels with Choppy 
Hey Choppy, when Mom takes Henry to the vet for a shot he sleeps and leaves us alone for a little bit. Roscoe and Monty.

If only Schooner did the same, Choppy would be a lucky pup!

Choppy, Choppy, you better should not show so much malicious joy about Schooner’s Vet Day. 😉

Is Schooner making himself scarce? 😕

He wasn’t, actually – I had to move him out of the picture! He doesn’t associate the carrier with vet trips (yet).

I hope Schooner is okay and got a clean bill of health.

He didn’t actually go to the vet yesterday – it’s a general holiday. His regular checkup isn’t for another few months yet.

365 doesn’t seem like enough days now for everything we want to celebrate 😂

It doesn’t – though based on my Internet research, most days have several potential things to celebrate. Apparently, we aren’t the only ones who think there are more things to celebrate than there are days in the year!

He was just off screen – waiting to check out the carrier some more after I chased him off!

This is definitely not my favorite holiday. I’m always amazed how creative the cat is at avoiding his travel crate.

Thankfully, we didn’t have to take Schooner in yesterday – it’s just a general holiday. We get that fun (?) in a few months.

Uh-oh! 😉
I never used to be able to take the carrier out ahead of time because the cats would hide so well that they were impossible to find. So embarrassing (not to mention annoying) to have to call the vet to reschedule!

We keep it out near Schooner’s food and litter box, so he can go in and out of it when he wants. I keep meaning to put him in it and take him outside, so he doesn’t just associate it with the vet. So far, he is OK – I actually had to move him out of this picture!

That’s a good idea. Ours is really big, so it is stored in the basement.

That’s where Schooner’s food and box are – so it keeps it out of the way (as much as I would like his ugly, blue kennel sitting around elsewhere in the house…).

Choppy, you really should be a little sympathetic….or at least be glad that Schooner will be out of your fur for a little while if he goes to the vet. I did notice that the cat has made himself scarce. 😉

Choppy won’t be so smug when it’s her annual trip to the vet. If only Schooner could see her attempting to hide in the back of the car and refuse to get out!

I just wish you could make them understand that the poking and prodding may not be pleasant, but it helps keep them well.

He doesn’t mind it! Then again, he’s only had to go to the vet twice for checkups since we got him, so perhaps he hasn’t learned yet. I need to start putting him in there and doing fun things with him, like giving him treats and letting him sit in it outside.

Absolutely! Don’t let it just be the vet. These fuzzy’s learn quick… 🤓 when it benefits them or they hate something.
When we want to teach them something, the IQ plummets! 😛

That plummeting IQ is even worse for the cats, who seem deficient in that category to begin with. At least with Choppy, I feel like there is purpose behind her actions/lack thereof. The cat just doesn’t get it/care.

Yip, someone knows what day it is…hide and seek 🙂
I must say it is a planned process of manipulation to get ours in the cat box..lets face it, it must be awful to be stuffed into a box like that. Hope Schooner is 100% well 🙂
