A rough day for the cat...

So today we took the cat in to get her shots and get her spayed. The poor thing had a tough day. It started out by not being able to eat breakfast (as it was going under anesthetic later on). Then I made the mistake of telling the kids we where taking the cat to get shots today. The "loved" the cat up all morning--which is a nice way of saying they mauled and mooched the poor thing. Then as we were driving over this morning--the poor, frightened cat (who had never been in a car before) was sitting on Bailey's lap when we started to move. It freaked out and claws came out. Poor Bailey got one in the leg. She retaliated by "spanking" mouse and dropping her to the ground. The cat climbed under the seat and mewed the entire 30 minuted drive there. Not pleasant. When we went to pick it up--it was completely delirious from the drugs. After a few instructions--they sent us home. Fortunately,she was so out of it, she didn't move or make a sound on the way home. To add insult to injury, her entire under belly is now bald. When we got home I said we need to be gentle with the kitty because of the drugs she had she won't land on her feet if she jumps from high up (according to the vet). Bridger confirmed this a few minutes later by walking in and informing me, "Yeah, the vets right. I accidentally dropped her and she landed on her side not on her feet." Our poor kitty. Hope it survives us.
