It reminded me of the ONE time I ever took Oscar to the vet. He was getting "fixed" and getting all his shots too. He was going to stay the night and we'd be back to fetch him in the morning. FOUR HOURS after I dropped him off, I was summoned to come back "as soon as I could manage". (meaning, NOW!) So, I went to fetch him home and I'll be damned if he wasn't in his own room in the back of a cage with his back turned to everyone yet glaring over his shoulder making the noise that totally embodied everything evil and scary in this Universe and every other. It was wild. I went over the cage, while the aides AND the vet stood in the doorway, plucked him out the cage, hugged him up a little, tucked him in the box and said, "Thanks, guys! Sorry for the trouble." As I walked out, the lady at the front desk inplied heavily that she was sure Oscar would live a long and happy life and that he was very healthy so he REALLY shouldn't need to be back any time soon.
It was totally LOLcatastic!
Oh, and he's never been back to the vet since. (You should see him around the boxes that the others get brough home in after they've been. It's wild!!)
Cats are so amazing. I feel bad for people who can't, or won't, spend the time to get to know them and understand them because they simply don't know what they're missing.
