Cats are not big fans of the vet

We took both Charlotte and Maya to the vet today. It was an adventure. Charlotte about clawed the assistant to death when she picked her up to trim her claws and weigh her. Then the hair started flying. I swear there was an inch on the floor of the exam room by the time we left. Maya was an angel, of course, but was still not a happy camper.
Both girls are now up to date on all of their shots and are healthy. Apparently Charlotte had ear mites from the shelter we got her from and gave them as a present to Maya. That was gross. The people we got her from lied to us, they SWORE she had just been checked for mites and just had some dirt in her ears. Filthy liars!! =) So now we get to put two drops of smelly yuck in both kitties' ears for 7-10 days. If you have a cat or have had a cat you know just how fun trying to put stuff in their ears can be. ughhh.
The vet also said they are both fit for the journey to Arizona and will most likely not require any type of tranquilizers. She gave us some good tips on what to do to make the journey easier for them. It is still going to be a nightmare but worth it to bring them with us!

Being one who works in a Vet office, I can concur 100% with this. Btw, I thought you had given your kitties away?

No, we had to give the bunnies away, not the kitties. They can survive the heat and the drive.
