You have to love that pouting....it’s payback time, LOL.

Leaving a cat at the vet’s is so painful. All they can see is that they’re being abandoned into strange hands and a strange place. I remember visiting my little fella while he was there; when I walked in, he saw me and started to YOWL. It just about killed me. There he was thinking I’d come to rescue him, but I had to turn around and leave him again until he was well. It’s been quite a while, but I’m actually tearing up recalling it.

Ouch! That one is a toughy.

Once when I had my Rocket in for tests, the vet put him in a cage to wait for a urine sample. He gave me what for, I’ll tell you what.

I said, “My Rocket is crying.” She said “How can you tell it’s Rocket?” I just stared at her and said, “Please get him out of that cage. He thinks I’m going to leave him here.” Out he came. She got her sample with a syringe.

At least he’s not a pouter. :)

Whenever I have to take my two to the vet, I get stereo meows - loud and non-stop - from the back seat the entire 30 minute drive. Coming home, not a peep! They know. But they do get over it fast. I've heard it said cats don't keep grudges and that they have to real sense of time.

Mimi will be home soon and he will snap back to his old habits and preferences like nothing happened. This time, though, he will be feeling a LOT better and, NGZ, you may see a whole new side of him to love!
