The Great Animal Move of 2010
July 10, 2010
Well the creatures have all been moved safely and all at once which could be described as unwise or, more accurately, completely idiotic given I have a tiny car, a large dog and only one cat carrier.
Regrdless, Ari surfed a precariously rocky cat tree in the back and pretended to be the queen of the car. Caesar spent the first 5 minutes plastered against the door opposite Ari because she terrifies him and the next 10 minutes avoiding falling furniture. Basil howled the entire trip from the safety of the cat carrier. Evidently he felt he was missing out on all the excitement and that his pillow was far too soft.
I know the truth though, if the little bastard had been loose in the car I’d still be trying to unvelcro him from the ceiling, the carpet under the seat or my head. The last time I allowed free range travel for the special ginger whinger, he attached 2 sets of claws to the door and the other 2 to the back of the chair and proceeded to howl, screech and wail his way to the vet and refused to be dislodged at both ends of the journey. Strangely enough he was a total bloody angel with the vet and she didn’t believe that I’d just spent 5 minutes in the car with an alleged torture victim. I swear, there isn’t enough oxygen supplying that cat’s brain…
