There's been a very concerning development here at the Townhouse. It's hard to even look at it.
At first I thought it was another piece of luggage. Maybe a fancy camera bag. But upon closer inspection, I discovered what appears to be a zippered entry point with a mesh top and sides. Then my heart sank. I noticed one of my TOYS inside. I'm afraid to say this can mean only one thing.
A new PTU.
Waffles Too was quick to the scene. Checking out every inch of it.
Rookie mistake. Any cat with half a brain knows to run UTB when a PTU comes out. This is NOT a toy.
Out of the clear blue, Gloman appeared and scooped me up while Glogirly unzipped the case to expose a dimly lit, cavernous hole. The incredibly soft and plush barren floor didn't even have a blanket. Trapped inside I was nearly overcome by new-PTU smell.
It became clear this was not a test run to make sure I fit inside the new mobile jail cell. Glogirly's profuse apologies meant we were going somewhere. And it wasn't to the mall for smoothies and sandals.
Thanks, Waffles Too. Thanks alot. Way to stare at me in my most vulnerable state of suffering. What? You want me to say hi to the Vet for you? *sigh*
You have NO idea what it's like living with the Vet's "pet" patient.

Thank mew!
Oh no Katie, you were duped! What is PTU?
ReplyDeleteWe hope this is routine. If being thrown in a strange PTU, put in a car, poked, prodded and jabbed is routine. Good luck, Katie!
ReplyDeleteoh no Katie!!! Chances are you'll get stabbed! Hiss up a storm girl!!!
ReplyDeleteOpen the zip, and ask Waffles to get in.
ReplyDeleteHe love the VET, doesn't he ?
Let him go for you ; )
Oh boy! We hope everything is ok!
ReplyDeleteSilly Waffles Too... he just doesnt get it..
We didn't mean to leave you hanging! ...ok, we kinda did.
ReplyDeleteBut no worries, I'm just going to the Vet for ordinary kitty stuff.
Not that it makes it a party or anything.
; ) Katie
Oh no! Too bad you can't just trade places with Waffles.
ReplyDeleteAww geez, Katie, that was a nasty trick!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, a torture chamber for sure
ReplyDeleteBenny & Lily
Oh no Katie they have put you in the mobile prison to take you to the torture chamber. Yikes we need to get you out. What will happen next??????
ReplyDeleteHave a terrific Tuesday.
Best wishes Molly
Couldn't you just get Waffles to dress up in a black and white outfit and go for you? He would LOVE another vet visit.
ReplyDeleteWe hope it goes well. Glad it's a regular visit. We think Waffles should go too since he loves the v-e-t!
ReplyDeleteOh noes...any way you could chew your way out of that mesh bit?
ReplyDeleteKatie, we hate being bamboozled and shoved in to the PTU without any warning! And it doesn't look like Waffles is gonna spring you from there! We just hope everything goes okay at the evil v-e-t.
ReplyDeletestay strong Katie! W2 will come save you! right after he plays wif all your other toys that were left out and then after he chases his tail and after a nibble from your bowl (yum!), then maybe, after a nap, but then, THEN he will race like the wind to the Vet where he will bravely do battle with the staff who will rub his belly and tell him what a great big boy he is and then someone, somewhere, will remember to let you out. Hopefully.
ReplyDeleteOMC too funny! Waffles Too in the last photo, cracked me up! SUPER COOL carrier! Is the bottom sturdy? I tried a zippered one once for Cody but had a miserable time closing it up because he kept trying to jump out. Is this an easy one to close FAST?
ReplyDeletexoxo
Oh no!! That was a nasty trick they played on you. We hope your visit with the VET went well.

Katie, hope your visit goes well!

Oh yes we do Arty Mouse loved going to the vet and getting attention from everyone. They all thought she was the most wonderful cat ever and Fenris and Tuiren like going to the vet too. Mr. Who is sensible and is scared of the vet just like me and Socks. ~Scylla
ReplyDeleteWhat? No smoothies...no sandals...no....mall?
ReplyDeleteSheesh.
Katie, I feel your pain...I too got dragged off to the vet place in a PTU this past week. Sigh.
LOL! At least Glogirly sprung for the deluxe PTU. . .
ReplyDeleteYou'll be back, won't you Katie?
ReplyDeleteOhhhhh **runs in circles** what wrong Katie??? why you go to v.e.t.??
ReplyDeleteAwww poor baby!!! Waffles will learn one day that vets are no fun!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, no Katie! We hope everything went well. Mama doesn't bother to trick us any more. She's just matter of fact about it. We try to run and hide, but she finds us. Purrs, Livia
ReplyDeletewe guess if we tell ya katie ta pretend thatz knot a PTU but a toaster cover it will knot help huh coz by de time ewe reed this ya prob ablee has all reddy been ta de V place N ya mite bee home by now wishin ya could reely take sum revenge on yur mom and ore dad sew if ewe haz sum two week old halibutt stik it in de heater vent N there ewe go with a grate run on sentence :)
ReplyDeleteWe think that is a mighty handsome PTU. We hope this is for vaccinations and not illness. W2 is too inexperienced to dislike the vet, but he will eventually learn...
ReplyDeleteSorry sweetheart=we are purring the Vet visit goes well and hope Glogirly busts out some treats when you return home...Happy Tuesday once you are free, sweet girl...xoxo...Calle, Halle, Sukki
ReplyDeleteWell I know you can handle it pretty Katie and tell Waffles Too how much fun you had when you get back!
ReplyDeleteOh dear Katie I must say that you new carrier looks very swish,xx Speedy
ReplyDeleteOh no! Well, smoothies and sandals AND treats had better be in order after your visit to you-know-where!
ReplyDeleteThat looks interesting if it can be zipped open end to end. We recommend spraying Feliway the inside for a positive association and make the vet trip less stressful.
ReplyDeleteMaybe on the way home you can stop for a sardine smoothie and some platform sandals to hit W2 over the head with. TW is making noises about the enemy coming coming our condo to examine me. It ain't happening.
ReplyDeleteAllie: oh noooooo....not the dreaded V-E-T. And to have W2 gloat in that manner. Scandalous. The very least she could do is schedule a coinciding spa appointment. *models nails* I highly recommend the PINK.
ReplyDeleteAwww Katie!!! But at least you get to stay in a brand new carrier! And we just know Waffles Too would love to keep you company if he could! Yay! Take care
ReplyDeletex
i'd recommend therapy but that would probably entail another trip in the ptu.
ReplyDeleteOwn!
ReplyDeletewe think a display of righteous indignation for the next several days is called for. Although if you have to go in a PTU, at least you had a stylish one!
ReplyDeleteHarry, Dexter and Tipp
OMC! Katie, however they tart it up, it is still a PTU! I have had a few trips to the vet lately and mum tricks me every time. Afore I know it I'm stuffed in there and on the road!!! You need a lawyer and quick! >^..^<
ReplyDeleteI visited my vet yesterday and got my annual vaccination shot and check-up.
ReplyDeleteShe is really nice and tell´s me I´m such a pretty and nice cat :)
Oh Katie...
ReplyDeleteMay the purrs be with you, my friend. May the purrs be with you.
Purrs,
Nissy
Oh no Katie. Hope everything is okay with you and it's just a check up. Once you are home again we'll plan your revenge.
ReplyDeleteOMC! They disguised the evil PTU as a human overnight bag. That is very sneaky.
ReplyDeleteNo no no we must save Katie from the Vet!
ReplyDeleteOh! Wow! Me has a PTU just like that! Me thinks it is still in Calgary! Thank Cod!
ReplyDeleteMe can't wait to find what happens at the vets
Kisses
Nellie
Hope everything is okay!!
ReplyDeleteOh no! Oh no! I hope everything's OK!!!
ReplyDeletePlay bows,
