They got that "thing" out again, yesterday. That thing I had to sleep in on the trip here, from NY to CO. (see the truck and me and Mom in this picture; the sleepy-inside thing is in the truck next to us) I wasn't sure why - I haven't seen it since we moved in. But, once we got in the car, I figured it out. They were taking me to the vet!

Ok, I'm not like some cats. I don't hate the vet's office. It's something different - and once in awhile I like to see something different. That's why Mom is holding me up to look out the window, in this picture.

My old vet, back in NY, was a cat vet - she didn't see dogs at her office. I don't know about this new vet. He was nice, and the tech girl was nice, but I didn't see or hear dogs or cats. Hmm... maybe CO vet offices are different than NY vet offices.

Mom seemed happy at the end of the visit. I behaved. I only hissed once, when the vet was getting a little too personal. And when they took me away from Mom and Tom to get bloodwork, I didn't let it bother me. The vet tech girl was just so nice, I thought I would be nice, too!

Now, I hear (they think I'm not listening, but I am) that they are planning to get my teeth cleaned. I don't know exactly what that means - why would anyone need to clean their teeth? Well, Mom was saying that was what the bloodwork was for - so we know how healthy I am. After all, I'm 17 now. That's mighty old, in people years!

Mom says she's going to post about the teeth cleaning, cause it's Pet Dental Health month, and all. I don't know what to expect...but I'll let you know what I think, too. Teeth cleaning; who knew it mattered?

p.s. I heard Tom say something to the vet about getting a puppy - how rude was that? Well, I hope it's a smart puppy - smart enough to know whose boss!
