KATIE: This is NOT how I expected to spend my weekend. Scooped up in my Sleepypod and carted off to the VET???
It's not the kind of #SundaySelfie I had in mind either.
WAFFLES: *from across the room* Hey Boss! Are you having fun yet???
KATIE: Waffles, you're only here as a ride-along. No commentary is necessary. Or welcome, for that matter.
WAFFLES: Are you going to play Where's the Thermometer?
KATIE: Not if I have anything to say about it. But by all means, go ahead. Have fun. Make it a party.
An Unexpected Vet Visit
Though I'm always the first in line for breakfast in the morning, Glogirly became concerned when I didn't show up Friday for my usual AM chicken pate. Even my favorite snacks weren't enough to coax me out of my cushy sleep spot.
After a quick phone call to our vet, it was decided that if I was still showing signs of a hunger strike the following morning, I'd need to get myself hauled in. So the whole family took a field trip to the Vet yesterday: Me, Gloman, Glogirly and Waffles.
Please don't worry about me...it's nothing serious. I'm just having a little GI flare up and to be safe am now taking an antibiotic and appetite stimulant. Oh, and the appetite stimulant? WORKING! Bring on the chicken pate!
Ride-Along Waffles
Since Waffles has a tendency to get his furry undies in a bundle whenever I come home smelling like the vet, he joined us as a ride-along. So now we both stink. But it's all *peace and harmony* back at the Townhouse.
The moment we got home, and I do mean the MOMENT, Waffles apparently decided the ride-along was so much fun, he hopped out of his own Sleepypod and right into MINE.
Two minutes later... this is Waffles' #SundaySelfie:
WAFFLES: ZZzzzzzzz.
We ♥︎ Our Sleepypods
Many of our friends ask for advice on pet carriers. We just can't say enough great things about Sleepypod.
It's truly the best of the best when it comes to pet carriers and beds. They make trips to the vet much easier and less stressful and the vets LOVE how easy they make the examination process. We even love using them at home for hiding, playing and of course... sleeping.

Sunday Selfies
Today's blog post is part of the Sunday Selfies Blog Hop hosted by our dear friends at The Cat On My Head. Hop on over for more Sunday Selfie fun.
Oh boy were WE worried about the word VET. Glad you are OK Katie * gentle hugs from us all *
ReplyDeleteHarvey, Miranda, Marjorie and Silver.
We are so sorry you are feeling poorly Katie. I hope you are back to your old self soon.
ReplyDeleteOh my! Well, *that's* a really crappola (oops--norty word??) way to start a Caturday! We think you are owed a LOT of extra treats to make up for those days when you just starved your beautiful self! I likes me a girl with a little padding, ya know? om nom nom nom
ReplyDeleteGlad you're okay, Katie. Hope you're back to 100% soon ***Purrs***
ReplyDeleteI'm relieved that it was just a minor issue, Katie! Sparkle used to be like Waffles whenever one of the other cats went to the vet - so she always had to come along too. Now, I come to the vet when one of the other kitties go, but it's only so that I get out of the house! I rather enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you are OK Katie. I must admit you look very pretty in that first photo
ReplyDeleteHope you're feelin bein all better soon Katie.
ReplyDeleteWe're glad it was nothing serious Katie ! We hope you're back to your normal "you" very soon ! Purrs
ReplyDeleteFortunately youd didn't have nothing serious ! Love your selfie in the first picture !
ReplyDeleteMiss Katie, glad nothing serious !
ReplyDeleteMe too, I didn't know I go to VET, by the time I know dad dropped me to the carrier !
xoxo
PS : love your photos, always fabulous :)
Oh poor Katie but what a lucky girl Glogirly was on the case so quickly. I think you cats forget how much us humans worry about you. We are so glad you are on the pate paved path to recovery and purr you keep going in the right direction. Good thinking to take Waffles along too, just for the scent! Saved all that reintroduction palaver.
ReplyDeleteNot a lot of fun to have to go to the vet, but it sounds like you are doing ok. We are very glad about that.
ReplyDeleteWe're glad it's nothing serious, Katie. Waffles, buddy, it's nice to know I'm not the only one that has to do a vet ride-along. ~Wally
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are okay… and how nice of waffles to do a ride along

ReplyDeleteSnorts,
Lily & Edward
Glad you got the no eating thing squared away. That now scares mum since Derby just suddenly stopped eating. ::sigh::
ReplyDeleteGlad you are okay Katie. I used to be horrible to Eric if he had to go to the vet, but then Meezer Mom told my mum to give our butts a dusting of baby powder. It worked!
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteGreat selfies!
Purrs xx
Athena and Marie
Katie we are glad you are feeling better. Those are all terrific Selfies and one day we hope to get a Sleepypod!
ReplyDeleteA family affair at the Vet...not really our idea of a Saturday outing...but sometimes it is necessary. Sorry for the tummy problems Katie. Glad you are now eating. Mom bought one of the rolling PTU's like Summer has since it is hard for her to lift the PTU once we are in it. Astrid will sleep in it when she wants to hide herself away. You two look super adorable. Thanks so much for joining and supporting our blog hop. It means the world to us to have you as furiends. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
ReplyDeleteWe get the full inspection when any one of our gang comes home from the V.E.T. By both dogs and cats. Glad to hear Katie is feeling better.
ReplyDelete--Purrs (and wags) from Life with Dogs and Cats.

ReplyDeleteKatie, we are so glad to hear it's nothing serious.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that you are eating again Katie..I suppose that Waffles stole the chicken pate you couldn't eat..I wish I had a Sleepypod to take my Lil Tiger orange kid to the vet tomorrow..it's time to have his little fuzzy balls removed..He has a nice soft carrier to travel in but I'm sure a pod would be even more comfy..he cries the whole way there and back..Thank goodness he can't understand what Dr Susan is going to do this time..
ReplyDeleteSo glad Katie is alright. Sorry you had to go to the vet. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
ReplyDeleteSue B
We're glad Katie is feeling better. Wow....we don't go to the VET together....what fun??? Okay...maybe not!
ReplyDeleteThe Florida Furkids
Hope you feel better soon! You look adorable, even at the vet! :)
ReplyDelete~Ali Cat
OMC! Weekend at the v-e-t is no fun. I’m glad it’s nothing serious.
ReplyDeleteWhere's The Thermometer is our least favorite thing about our Dr. Stabby. He always wants to play, more than we think any grown man should. We say it's his turn next.
ReplyDeleteHad our own vetmergency today, and still recovering, but we love seeing darling Katie and Waff!
~Vicat, Bratastic (he insists on being called niw), Rags, & GEO
Glad you are eating your chicken pate again Katie :)
ReplyDeleteMe too is one of this strange kitties that LOVE to sleep in my PTU.
Waffles , your selfie is really a cute one !
XOXO
So glad you are feeling better and mom so wants to get one of those Sleepypod thingys. Love Dolly
ReplyDeleteKatie! I had to go to the vet on Saturday, and Dr. Holly took blood from me. Z-Girl asked for a full blood panel AND one for pancreatitis. I received fluids and an anti-nausea medication and this stopped the vomiting I was experiencing. We are waiting for the pancreatitis test to come back. So far, I'm eating better and not throwing up. I hope you continue to feel better, Tuxie Sister! The thermometer game is NO FUN....but chicken treats are yummy! -Purrs, Valentina
ReplyDeleteA few friends have been to the vet and we did too yesterday. Just a check up fur us and so glad you are feeling better Katie. We will send some purrs just to make sure.
ReplyDeleteWe gave Dad the Kitty Rodeo yesterday with getting 7 cats in 7 carriers so I think he may be looking hard at those sleepy pods
Our vet just drooled over our sleepypod yesterday, too! Allie loves it. We boys want it in Robin Egg so - yanno - we don't hafta be seen in public in PINK.
ReplyDeleteSo, Katie, you back on the good stuff and no more appetite Rx? Purring for ya. You can't go off your feed, now. Although maybe Allie should... ~ Maxwell
