Driving with a cats chorus

I visited Sarah and David this morning, they prefer it if I go round in the daytime now the clocks have gone back. They had plenty to tell me about the last week and we talked about the drawings I am going to do for their dementia cafe. After I left them I went down to the banking hub before coming back to have lunch. We had the pet carriers ready as the cats were due their yearly injections. We had to lock ourselves in a room with Pandora to corner her and catch her, almost as traumatic for us as for her! Blue was very vocal but is easier to manage. The vet is in Bridlington and we had a cats chorus all the way in. Tina took a photo of our caged girls while we waited to be seen.
Pandora did not want to get out of the box so we had to tip her out! As she has had a way eye and has sneezed a few times she couldn’t have her yearly jab but she did have an antibiotic injection as she has a slight chest infection, and there is no way we can give her medication! The vet also kindly put her new flea collar on for us as that creates more trauma when we have to do it! We have to take her back in three weeks for her jab. All plain sailing with Blue. We took some stuff to the charity shop when we got home and had a nice drink in the local cafe that sells the best chai latte ever!
As it was getting dark I took some stuff out to the garden bin and put it out for collection tomorrow. Took some photos, two okay, one blurred which turned out funky!
I didn’t get a sketch done outside, so one of my house plants instead.
Will finish with a picture from four years ago.

  1. I suppose it’s easier all round for you to visit them in the morning rather than after tea. Lets you settle down a bit earlier for your evening.
    It’s a nightmare taking cats to the vets. Mine hated the pet carrier too. It used to spread all four legs as wide as possible so it didn’t fit through the cat carrier door! Looked like something from a cartoon 😊 It a shame you have to do it all again in a few weeks. At least you got the best chai latte ever for your efforts 🙂
    I like the last pics. Even the funky one is funky, is you see what I mean.
    I remember the last pic. Are they the kelpies?

  2. Yes, the Kelpies, that was a good trip.
    Pandora has been on my lap this evening so has forgiven us fairly quickly this time!
