PISSED OFF
By hebe

     My cat does not like to travel by car nor does she like to visit the vet.  The combined experience has a devastating effect.  As I was driving to the vet's several months ago, she first defecated, then urinated, and finally vomited.  The vet suggested that I put the cat in a pillow sack so she would not be able to see and become upset by her surroundings.  This worked a couple times.  The last time, kitty urinated through the pillow case onto my car seat.  She is very stressed by the whole ordeal.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  She is otherwise a very sweet kitty.


Home, I feel so comfy here;

If you carry me away,

There’ll be hell to pay.

Put me in the damned sack,

Rest assured I’ll pay you back.

To the vet, my greatest fear,

It’s "let’s go, kitty dear!"

I’m one angry kitty,

And I don’t need pity!


We pull in the vet’s drive.

Meow, I’m still alive

And show that I’m upset

To see my friend, the vet,

By soaking the seat with piss.

I always hit, never miss.

The scent of piss will survive.

I’m one angry kitty,

And I don’t want pity!

I enjoyed this piece from the defiant cat's pov! I wasn't quite sure, however, whether it's your annoyance and frustration coming through! I can't offer any advice on stressed-out cats, I'm afraid. We raise pet mice!

Mia, 
 
The poem is strictly from kitty's pov. What she does is never a source of frustration for me; it's rather a source of amusement.

Sounds like my sister's cat. 
Her name is kitty and she doesn't get mad she gets even. 
My dog is the same, he always cried and whines when we put him the car either to the groomer's or just for a drive.  
He always comes back traumatized.
For the love of cats

I (from a human POV) saw the humor. But yes, it seems my cat could wait as long as it took to get even. I like that this is in the cat's voice. No advice, my cat ruled like the little lion she was!

After using several deodorizers, I was able to remove the urine scent from the passenger's seat. After all is said and done, I feel honored to be my cat's servant. Cats, I think, are amazing creatures. Although I am slightly allergic to cat dander, I have two kitties.
