Drunken Cat Hisses at Vets!

Okay, not drunken. But poor Mocha sure seemed it. She went to the vet on Thursday to receive a tooth cleaning. Teeth cleaning for cats usually involves the cat being put under anesthesia, and this case was no exception.

When I came to pick her up, the vets said that Mocha hissed at them when they put her in her crate to go home, unusual behavior for Mocha, who usually only hisses at dogs.

When we got home, the poor cat was so tired, and walked around almost in a stumble. I feel almost guilty in saying that I enjoyed the evening, as Mocha was very quiet, and I didn't get the usual "talking" out of her. Oddly enough, while she should have been resting, she got up a lot just to walk around. Clearing out the cobwebs I guess.

But by now Mocha is back to her old self. Which is all well and good, but she's gotten most of her strength back too, which is a disadvantage when I try to give her her antibiotics. That is one wily, slippery cat.
