Speaking of Miss Kitty

SOMEone just got an appointment made for tomorrow at the vet's office for a little surgery.

Sorry, little dude. At least you will still have your claws.

He will get over it. I did.

I've just got to find a convincing lie to tell him so he won't think this is all my doing.

Just think of it this way, YOU don't do the cutting, the evil nasty vet does.

That's true--I am still rather angry with my urologist.

No, you want him to be aware that you are responsible. It puts you in a position of power. He won't know that you can only put him in that particular pain one time, and will live in care that you don't do it to him again.

Hmmm--the ol' Mark Twain quip about a cat jumping on a hot stove only once, and thereafter never jumping on any stove again--hot or cold.

I would say that's a reasonable thing, but up until now he's not been so much trouble (other than costing money) that he deserved to be taught a lesson. Oh well--at least he has another few hours to try to think up something...
