A Spring interlude in the city today, spent mostly in the park listening to Madeleine Peyroux's twinkly voice and watching the international crowd study their maps . The pigeons didn't know if they should scavenge or strut their stuff, they too were in seasonal shock. A sunny 55' day.
Baited out of bed by the warmth of the early morning sun, I took a deep breath and attempted the literal act of herding cats.
Our biennial visit to the vet didn't go well. Actually, it didn't go at all. Instead, I became the equivalent of a human hairball in my attempt to wrangle Teddy (pictured at the right) into his carrier.
After several gashes, heart palpitations and a failed wrestling match involving 6 appendages, I gave up. I don't know who was more traumatized, him or me. Returning from downstairs where the pet chauffeur was paid his fare and sent on his way, I found Truman inside his carrier, ready to go; always one for an adventure.
The appointment was canceled and the number of a vet jotted down who makes house calls. The age old question, "how do you know when you're a NY'er?" was answered yet again: When your cat has a chauffeur and receives house calls from his doctor!
Now to go lick my wounds.....
