I am not pleased, in fact, I'm pretty hissed off! On Monday, I am scheduled to have a full dental cleaning and extraction of my broken premolar. You know what that means? I can't eat breakfast on Monday morning while all my brofurs and sisfurs get to stuff their faces. So not cool! I protested the entire car ride to the vet -- meowing as loud as I could, but no luck, she just kept driving and brought me into the vet's office. I do have to say I was a very good boy for Dr. T and the lady gave me lotsa scritches while I sat on the cold exam table.Dr. T went step by step, through the dental proceedure, assuring the lady that I will be intubated and on a breathing machine and completely monitored. They will also use the safest anesthetic on me and give me an injection before I am sedated that will help to open my airways. She also gave the lady a transdermal pain med, to rub on my ear before we leave for the vet's office that morning. This will help to keep me calm on the car ride over. I tend to meow, meow, meow until I start to pant, which makes it a little hard for me to breathe. I will also use this pain med to control the pain when I come home.
I am still not happy about missing my Monday breakfast, but hopefully I will get lots of snuggles and treats when I get home.

Update on Cal
Cal had his weekly B12 injection and weight check this morning. Guess what...... he went from 8.5lbs last Tuesday to 9.4lbs today!!! That is almost an entire pound in a week! YIPEE!
As always, thanks for all the purrs for Cal and Maya!

Wow Cal. You are doing good. Keep up the weight gain and your mom will have to get a forklift to pick you up. You deserve lots of treats Maya for having to wait for your food while others got it. When one of us can't eat breakfast because of a vet thing, they won't feed either of us. That is so not fair. Hope things will all be better soon.
