Tricked by a Slice of Ham


Today, mum made a special 5.15 appointment for me to go and get my jabs. She started looking for me at 3pm. She thought she might have to cancel again.



She got my dish and knife out, I wouldn't come in. I meowed at the sight of the fancy feast, but I wouldn't come near her.
Finally she remembered she had some ham in the fridge, and the wrinkle of the deli bag enticed me to my plate, where she did a grab and push into the PTU.
Jabs completed, vet test passed - thanks Natalie!! Now I have been under the house for two hours, and mum hasn't seen me. That will teach her.

  5. It's for your own good, Pops. It was a nice attempt at avoiding it, though:)

    It is so cool that your mum got to see Prince William!

  7. Oh yes, HAM! It truly is the only thing that will get me to come to #1 even if I really don't want to...

  10. Oh, Poppy, I know it's not fun, but take heart that it's just a once-a-year ordeal. My Annie is hyper-t and right now she goes every few week for blood work--and believe me, she is TERRIFIED at the vet clinic! Once a year, or even a few times a year, doesn't seem so bad--it's all a matter of perspective.

    Purrs and kitty kisses, Poppy, and I hope you have forgiven your mum.

  16. Yep, the ham usually works...but the pain is over...you can forgive her now!

  17. We know you don't like trips to the vet, but we have to go. Don't hide from Mom!

  18. Your Mom knows your vulnerability for ham. Hopefully you can stay away from the vet till next year at least. Sometimes those jabs last more than a year even.

  19. Not fair! Mums know ham will do it everytime! Glad you got a good report. Your garden is looking very beautiful. We can't wait for spring...long way off though.

  21. Man... that should be wrong to use ham like that... it is way too good.

    ReplyDelete
  22. We love ham, too, Poppy, so we probably would've fallen for that trick right along with you. We are glad you got a clean bill of health. :)

  26. Poppy that is too bad you had to go to the vet but at least it is over with now!

  27. Don't worry Poppy. We all forgive you for your weakness. It's understandable A tempting deli bag is hard to resist!

  28. Ham... it's a dangerous (and wonderful) thing!

    We're glad everything went well at the vet.

    P.s. Maybe if you stay under the house for a bit longer your mum will give you more ham...
