Cats On Tuesday: A visit to the Vet


                                                   You never know what this is all about
Packed inside a cage, you are
Where your purring, growling cannot change a thing

Tearing into the cage only bring scolding
You are captured for life
That is the feeling

The noise, the commotion,
the confusion as you were carried
only gets you more frightened
But it brings little sympathy!

Then you arrived
a place where your destiny is decided
Where he's waiting with a forced smile

You never can tell what awaits you
Even with the fixed, forced smile
You know it's a facade

Until the momment arrived
You are torn, dissected, dived into
With the "everything is fine" assurance!

Then you saw the green stars
The yellow moon and red sky
As you passed out!

That is a visit to the VET 
For the PET
Called the Feminist CAT!
- Gov. Garfield

Generally, animals seem to hate vets. My dog once bit a vet when I took her for an injection. Men, it wasn’t funny. Hope your cats are cooperative though. Nice poetry.

Tink said...

Did you write that? What a nice poem. The picture is cute!

Nice kitten there.
Nice poem, even though I did not fully understand it.

catsynth said...

Nice poem. Luna really hates going to the vet, too. I think it's more the car ride and the carrier than the actual vet visit.

I will read this later. I am so tired. Spent the last four days at the grandest Eskimo dance celebration in the world, the one they call Kivgiq. Each day started at 10: AM and went will past midnight - the final day until nearly 5:00 AM and my brain is just not working now.

I like the picture, though.

I will read the poem when my head clears up.

Same for interview Thursday.

Your friend from the Far North.

My Passion, my focus, the change that I want to see in the world - is my propellent factor.
