I think patches has forgiven us for the ordeal she experienced today.

I think patches has forgiven us for the ordeal she experienced today.

We are home. Patches is out of the cat carrier. She is hiding somewhere and she wants nothing to do with me for a while. She did let us pet her a little before she ran off, so there’s no hard feelings toward the gestapo fat ass who jailed her for almost two hours.
Clean bill of health. She’s fine. Nothing wrong apart from being old. She’s around 14 years old, we think, so it’s natural that she’d be slowing down. No joint issues, no vision issues, no obvious pain. She’s all good.
Good job, my brave little kitty. Sorry about the whole locking you in a cage thing. Meow.
She’s not a prisoner, she’s just traveling, I tell myself to assuage my guilt at locking her up.
It usually takes an hour to get her into the carrier. Today it took two minutes. Now she’s packed up and we are crazy early. Shit.

Patches is not exactly loving me right now.

She won’t come over to the bed to hang out with us. I wonder if she knows she’s going to the vet tomorrow. Maybe she can sense it. Worse than the vet though, she’s going in the cat carrier. Oh how she hates that thing.


She’s like a goalie and my keyboard is the goal.

Patches has been my iPhone photography model for 11 years. She’s had enough. I line up a pic, she walks away. I only get them when I’m stealthy-like.
