Last night, I called that service that I used before to post talky-blogs, but for some reason it didn’t work! AND I TALKED FOR FIFTEEN MINUTES! I said some really profound things, too! Now I don’t feel like typing them.
Here’s an update on Cupid, though. If you emailed me, you got this exact message (sorry, I was too lazy to type more than once).
Here:
It went really well! Cupid hissed a few times when he was weighed because of all the other smells. They don’t even bother sweeping the scale, so there were pet hairs all over it. They need those little ones in the exam room for small pets/cats!
When we got in, he was fine. Just meowing a bit. Once the Dr. came in and got close, the hissy fit began. He wouldn’t let anyone touch him. We just all backed off and the Dr. just said that we would spend this visit getting Cupid used to him. He was SO patient and kind! Cupid jumped off the table and walked around the room. He was MUCH better then! He apparently hates the table because he associates it with bad things happening! Poor baby!! Once he had free reign, he felt more comfortable.
At one point, he was under a chair and the Dr. sat on the chair. Cupid meowed and jumped up behind him like “NO, that’s MY chair!” lol Cupid just sat behind him, even touching him! The Dr, thought Cupid would attack him when he moved, but Cupid just sat there like a statue and didn’t even look over at him. Then the Dr. petted him!! Cupid let him!!! I wanted to dance around the room I was so happy!! He hissed after a bit, but he was improving!
When I got Cupid ready to leave, I picked him up and put him on the table and he didn’t hiss at all. I wrapped him in a blanket so if he freaked out he couldn’t get loose. He never hissed or freaked!!! When he got home, he was already calm like nothing happened. It was amazing! Wonderful!
We’re going back next Friday for another exam since he didn’t actually do anything. He did get a good look at his teeth when he was hissing and he said they look fine and the gums look good so I’m not going to be getting his teeth cleaned. Yay! In the exam next time he’s just going to get a listen to his heart and feel on his belly. He was all about not stressing Cupid out too much, and getting him used to him. It was great!
Cupid’s been a little aggressive tonight, though. I think he feels like a bad ass because he “won” at the Dr. LOL He’s been fighting with Opal over who gets to sit on my lap, and even doing the pre-snap meow like he’s about to snap at me. I was patting him (which I know he hates, but he was on me during a movie and I wasn’t really paying attention) and he snapped at me. I pushed him off and he did another pissy meow. He was acting like the king of the castle. I didn’t do anything about it because for all I know he’s in pain somewhere and this is just an expression of that. I guess I’ll see how he is tomorrow.
