This weekend, comment moderation, and 6 pounds of fury...

which is the new name the vet gave my tiny kitty.

Erica - AKA 6 pounds of fury...
My tiny kitty had to go to the vet this morning.  Little Erica barely hits 6 lbs on the scale due to living in starvation mode when she was a baby before we became her "forever family." .  To say Erica doesn't like the cat carrier would be the understatement of the century.  Do you think two adults are a match for a teeny-tiny pissed off kitty?  That would be a big no.  I will say this morning went better than the last time we had to stick her in the carrier when the entire house was destroyed.  Really!

This morning she only managed to draw minimal blood (from hubby thank goodness.)  She's surprisingly well behaved at the vet and it only took two people to "pill" her.  When she saw the worm pill headed her way, she clamped her jaws so tightly every pit bull in the county was in awe. 

We decided she needed a teeth cleaning and the vet had time so she stayed for the procedure. Two of her teeny tiny razor sharp teeth had to be extracted and now I have a teeny-tiny pissed-off drugged-up kitty staggering around the house.  Life is good!

Comments

Apologies for not responding in a timely fashion to comments.  I've had comment moderation on for years due to a few really nasty trolls.  I finally decided that my readers were mature enough to recognize a crazy when they see one, and the inclusion of the "c" word would not produce any long-term deleterious psychological  effects.  However,  I'm not used to comments going directly to being published.  I will adjust in time - and I thank you for your patience. 

The Weekend:

This weekend is the Bretton Woods Conference II.  The Blaze has a nice sneak peek at the goings-on.

And Obama, more concerned with the possible stoppage of abortions, would rather cut off military pay than defund Planned Parenthood (who, incidentally, provide birth control pills for girls as young as 13 without the knowledge or consent of the parents.)  Sick!
