Yesterday I took my cat to the vet for his checkup and shots. His vet has the patience of at least two saints and has an all-cat practice. (Can you imagine? Wow. Anyway, she's awesome

Cats. Stubborn contrary arses.

[_medley_]

Aren't they? Even the Time Lord ones. *g*

[skipthedemon]

Especially those!

Hee. In my summer job as a vet's assistant, part of my job used to be trying to get cats to stop purring or growling so she could listen to their heart.

I agree, your vet must have amazing patience!

[_medley_]

I bet that was fun. Did you get scratched a lot for your trouble?

*hee* Fuzzbutt does the same thing. The vet once asked if there was a way to get him to stop purring.

[_medley_]

Well, he was growling, but either way, it makes it hard to hear their heart and lungs!

[donutsweeper]

Poor kitties. And poor Vets!

Can't they purr while breathing? Seems like TimeKitty never paused for breath.

[_medley_]

It wasn't purring, it was growling. But apparently he can do that while breathing, too!

Sounds like you have a talented kitty! I think the part of this story I liked the most is the momentary pause the vet allowed while finding out that the growl is not hampering your cat's ability to keep growling. Hee.

I assume that the vet was eventually able to hear the heart and lungs. All clear for Sid, then? :)

Hee! Talented or terrified, it's hard to say, poor guy. And yep, he's a healthy boy. From what they can tell. *g*
