Double Date


WAFFLES:  Hey Boss! Are you ready for our double date? 

KATIE:  Double Date??? In THIS??? There's so many things wrong with that statement, I don't know where to start.



WAFFLES:  You can ride in your own carrier if you want. 



WAFFLES:  I'll even let you pick which one!



WAFFLES:  I KNOW you really like the round one!



KATIE:  Don't get too ahead of yourself, Waffles. Let's go back. Double DATE???

WAFFLES:  Yeah! Glogirly said we're BOTH going to the vet on Monday. 

KATIE:  Whoa, whoa, whoa...  the VET???

WAFFLES:  Didn't you get the email? 

KATIE:  Email? Since when do you get email?

WAFFLES:  We got an email from Dr. Karlin inviting us in for a wellness visit. Doesn't that sound like fun? I bet there's treats and games and stuff.

KATIE:  Yeah like, Where's the Thermometer.

WAFFLES:  Is that like Hide and Seek?

KATIE:  No but come Monday morning I'm going to hide. And Glogirly's going to have to seek.



WAFFLES:  Don't worry, Boss. I bet that Where's the Thermometer game is going to be fun!


A Double Date to Remember
That's right, Waffles and I are going to the vet TOGETHER on Monday. You may have read about Waffles and his recent Displacement Aggression. It's very common when just one cat from a household visits the vet and comes home smelling like... well, the VET.  One thing you can do to help prevent that sort of thing is to visit the vet together. Not sure I'd go as far as to call it a double date though.

  1. Yes, someone always goes with Ichiro. But that's more because he gets afraid of being alone...

  4. Sparkle hated going to the vet, but she hated Binga and Boodie returning from the vet even worse, so she had to go whenever they went! It's different now - Boodie went and had a dental cleaning on Monday and when she came back, nobody cared. My human was relieved.

  10. some of us get to avoid that thermometer game. :) have fun on your "date".....

  11. Oh Waffles, Waffles. I think that the "fun" of *that* game depends on who is hiding the thermometer. If you get there first, it could be an interesting game of tag and wrestling match. If the vet does, let's just say you will appreciate much treat therapy :-)

  14. Waffles, I'm not sure Katie is going to think the Where's the Thermometer game is very fun...

  15. I've seen people bring both pets to the vet and one is just there to accompany the other. We hope this will prevent the dreaded "strange cat" problem :)

  20. Our two cats always go to the vet together - it's just easier.

  25. Maui would rather play SHOOT the Thermometer. Just so you know.

  26. Oh this will be interesting. We will tune in next week.

  27. We try to never go TO the vet. That's why she comes here. Giulietta did have to go about ten days ago, but Fiiona will always cuddle and snuggle with her no matter how she smells. Love the last photo with Waffles paw on Katie's Back. Hope no smacky paws ensued. Hope you will join us Sunday for our Sunday Selfies Blog Hop.
