More Talisker...

[rhythmaning]

Talisker had a very busy, stressful, morning.

I had to take him to the vet for his annual vaccinations and check up. Nothing serious.

First I had to get him into the pet carrier. This took some ingenuity. I opened the door; he walked in; I locked the door.

Then there was the trauma of the vet's to deal with. I opened the pet carrier; he slowly wandered out. And rolled over on his side, purring, whilst the vet poked and prodded. And injected.

Then I opened the door to the pet carrier, and he walked back in and I locked the door.

Phew!

This post is displacement activity to avoid the incessant funereal guff...

(The vet did detect a heart murmur, recommending he has an ultrasound check, though she also said that it was likely to be nothing and that there was little do the prevent anything happening if it is going to happen - although following anything happening, there were drugs that could be used. So I am not sure what the point of ultrasound would be, other than to elevate my stress levels...)

Phew, what a drama! You're lucky you arrived home in one piece.

Amber has heart issues and is on tablets, I take her back for an ultrasound every so often and nothing seems to change. They're quite common in cats, did he mention which grade?

She didn't mention grade at all! She did say it wasn't urgent and only do to ultrasound if it was covered by my insurance - I need to check.

Hello Talisker. Bet the vet adored him.

I think she was a little taken aback by how easy he was. And I definitely prefer a laid-back rather than stressed-out cat. Though I am not sure she believed me when I said how active he can be!
