It’s been a year since I trapped Midnight and Charley, so it
was time to take them to the vet for their yearly shots. I just did the
spay/neuter and rabies shot last year because there were so many cats. But since they have been living in my garage
and I have taken a liking to them, I am having them tested for feline leukemia
and giving them all of necessary vaccines this year.
I wasn’t too worried about Midnight; I can pick her up and
hold her. I could probably even let her
in the house. But baby girl, Charley, still won’t let me touch her unless she’s
eating wet food or treats. I did get
her to purr once but only once. So I’ve
been feeding both of them in the cat carriers for the last week. I stick the wet food all the way in the back
and they go in and eat. Same with
treats.
So yesterday when they were eating, I planned on shutting
the doors as soon as they went in.
Charley was just too quick for me and I ended up getting the crap bit
out of my hand. I tried for a half hour
but she was having none of it.
Midnight was a champion.
She did well with the blood test and she was negative for FL. Then she had all of her vaccines and even
started kneading the towel in the crate when it was over. But when I brought her home and let her out,
she went under the house and wouldn’t come out for a while so I’m sure it
traumatized her.
I’ll try again with Charley. I may have to trap her
again.
