Oh, boy, you think that nice lady in blue is examining me, but she just wanted to tickle my tummy! I could go to the vet EVERY DAY if I could have massagers like this one! Our vet is so, so nice and she said I really didn’t have much wrong anywhere except a little trouble getting up the stairs favouring my right paw. But when mama was in bed last night, bammo, up I jumped, just like Olga (whoever she is) or Nureyev (whoever that is) and didn’t seem to have any problem at all. Go figure.
OOPS…here she goes again, giving me a really nice back rub!!! A la Californienne, I think, or maybe it’s shiatsu, can’t tell. Feldencrais?
Actually, our veterinaire magnifique also suggests a orthopaedic person who does animals with joint problems and is very successful. I’m not quite there yet, but I do have some glucosamine pills to help a bit. We’ll see. I think mama wants to take them for her knees, haha.
Mama told someone recently (he had a back problem) to get in a hot bath and pour a glass of hot saki. And he said, “And then, do I pour it into the bath water?” I’m sure he figured that one out…
But what’s THIS??? Papa rubbing on a way too cute doggy? And he actually asked her NAME? Maya! Not Mya, MAYA. Damn.
Oh, great, now Maya is trying to jump on mama and kiss her!
OH, NOT AGAIN! A Lhasa apso too cute for words! The next thing I know we’ll have Tibetan prayer beads around everyone’s neck!
Okay, I’m outta here…
Finally, some peace and quiet. Aren’t there just PRIVATE VETS FOR KITTIES ONLY?
(Actually, I never see any doggies except Sara next door and Mya, so it wasn’t so bad. They were awfully cute.)
MERCI, Mme. Vet, for my good care!
Oh, belly rubs are the best! My V-E-T gives them to me, too. I only let him and my Dad hive me belly rubs. Nobody else does them right. You look so cute! If I was with you, I would tickle your belly with my paw! I hope your humans didn’t get any ideas about adopting a D-O-G! I have one in my household – she’s stinky and drools!
No, no, no doggies around here, just those tired ones anthros talk about…my poor dogs are hurting, etc.
MeOW LouLou, you look so cute and relaxed. Ifin our VETs were dat nice, we might not mind goin’ either. MOL We’re really glad to hedar dat everythin’ be okay, and you be healthy. Big hugs
Luv ya’
Dezi and Raena
Oh, Dezi, I meant to visit yesterday and will do so today. I miss you kitties!
Your Mama is like my Mama! She loves all of the animals at the Vet, but since I live with a woofie, the dogs don’t bother me. Our Vet keeps the cats separated from the dogs as soon as we check in. I know they liked massaging YOU, but your face sure doesn’t look like YOU liked it! MOL! Love, Cody
Well, my eyes hadn’t shut yet. But they did after a few strokes on the tummy.
ooooh – I want to go to YOUR vet and get a massage!! All mine does is poke me and stick me with torture thingys that she sneaks up on me with and thinks I don’t notice. HA – she doesn’t know how clever I am. But that’s why we doggies don’t bark – we are scared speechless of what they will do to us!! But it’s OK, they give me a treat when I leave. Did you get a morceau of mouse? I want a massage with hot saki – I don’t know why mama laughed out loud at your mama’s description! – but (don’t laugh) – who gets to drink the saki – me or the masseuse?
Well, NOT the VET, that’s for sure. Just imagine where she might stick that thingy if tipsy!
I hope the glucosamine helps you to feel better. XO
THank you. So far it makes me a little…er…not myself. But maybe that’s normal. I don’t normally sleep this much.
If we ship Marcus over there will he become a French non-barking dog too?
We hope you are okay. Sounds like you have some aches and pains of age.
Well, Mme. Vet said she didn’t feel anything strange and that maybe it was just a little bit of age, and that normally kitties have arthritis a bit later than 6 years, which is what I am now. Also I jump easily but do not mount the stairs that easily and favour one paw. Strange. No pain however or at least no yelps at the vet as she massaged me.
OH, I would love a visit from Marcus and he will learn very quickly that barking is not acceptable to ANYONE here. A barking dog gets looks that could kill and he/she is sent off to school immediately to learn to behave properly. Also the French just LOVE their animals so maybe that’s why they don’t bark as often. They eat in restaurants and are permitted everywhere, plus there are so many toilettages pour animaux everywhere–places to get washed and dried and cut and trimmed and fixed up. Not expensive either.
Kids behave???!!! Now – that’s a stretch, Lou Lou – but – I must say that second mutt had such a great one-eyed look that Grandma just had to print it out. But tell, really, that vet of yours was getting just a bit tooooo frisky for such refined lady as yourself .. right?
I think she is what is called a practitioner, so therefore, she had to practice on SOMETHING…..ME.
So glad you got a good report at the vet’s. My Lulu was at the vet’s today too – for her asthma. Purrayers for you both.
Oh, Lulu, I hope so much these allergens all over the place don’t interfere with your breathing. Maybe there is a Ventolin for animals. it’s works so well on anthros.
We hope you are okay and you don’t have any more troublss. Hey, we go to a cat only vet place and it’s much nicer without the barking!
Well, I have to say, French dogs do not bark. I mean that. They are curious but they do not bark, hardly ever. The kids behave, too….
