hey granny, here's a story for passing the time.
We took our 9 week old kitten Ebony, to her first vet visit. She had fleas, yuck. Ok, that's not the funny part, that is a lot of work cleaning the house. Not fun.
She enamored every single person in the place. She got herself wrapped around my finger so tightly, I can't breathe,

(no seriously I'm allegic to this beautiful creature but I digress) so we go in the room and the vet walks in and says, I hear you rescued this little one. I just wanted to thank you, not many folks want black cats, in fact, around this time of year they are only adopted to be abused (Halloween)

I had no idea. I was shocked. Now I am really glad we chose her.

She does the exam and we are chatting away and we get ready for kitty shots and wormer and flea meds. All goes super quick. Then they draw the blood. You would have thought they were killing her the way she was carrying on, I mean I know it hurts but geez, enough. So they wrap her leg in a tiny, purple compression bandage and just like that, her leg flies straight up in the air! She is hopping around, unsure of this weird appendage that is chasing her. We are dying.

Imagine the drama, "Do you see this? What is this? It's mine? Well, then my leg is broken for sure. I c c ca..an't move it." Ebony just stares at us like it's our fault.

We get her picture taken for the vet's wall and put her back in the crate and make it home. She stayed in that darn thing til bedtime. She was sure some horrible thing was going to happen again...and it did...as soon as she crawled out we gave her another bath to get rid of all the dead fleas after her pill. More drama, baths haven't been a real problem, just a few attempts at scratching my arms. This time, my arms are looking like a scratching post. LOL *BONUS* no more fleas.

She is fine now, but what a rough day she had.


I just wanted to share, hope you are feeling better.

tntchix , too funny ! i can just see that poor little thing hopping around trying to loose the beast that has a hold on him. hahahaaa its true what they say about the black animals, not just cats. they just dont appeal to a lot of people.

I was giggling writing it.

I don't get it. I have always found them fascinatingly gorgeous. So sleek and shiny. What's not to love?
Too much fear, I guess.

its the superstitions people were raised on and the movie propaganda that is thrown on top that makes people see them as bad luck or whatever they see. i used to put foil or paper bags on my cats feet just so i could watch them get that high and mighty walk. i mean, whats not to love ?

i dont know why the chicken pic posted but this cat is mine. his name is binks, and he is a rescue from dearborn animal shelter. he is a Norwegian cat. much larger then typical house cats. a coyote got him once, you could see the canine teeth marks in his ribs and it took a while but we nursed him back. that is a full grown rabbit and a crow he caught and brought over a 4ft. fence he even caught a coon once.

I think that is what makes me that much more attracted to them - sort of the underdog appeal.

 

[tntchix]

Superstition you say? I have had nothing but good luck since we got her.Well, except for the fleas.

Binks is amazing. Look at him go.

Yay for the underdogs! I love it.

Sorry,

I'm on a bit of an emoticon binge today.
