De-Kooked
Yesterday we took Sydney to get his booster shots at a new vet clinic. The vet we took him to last time really didn’t give us a very good feeling; he barely looked at Sydney and kept doing this kooky thing with rolling his eyes up at the ceiling and craning his neck every time he was thinking. Everything also seemed kinda disorganized and haphazard. So this time we brought Sydney to Godspeed Animal Care, which isn’t as close, but isn’t that much farther from our house. The place looked clean and organized (it kinda looked like a normal doctor’s office), and the vet was much much nicer to work with. She spent a lot of time examining and getting to know Sydney, and the cat was just purring up a storm. We also got the Feline Leukemia test for half the price of what kooky-vet quoted to us (originally Bunky didn’t want to get the test done because the disease is uncureable and the price was so high). Fortunately, Sydney tested negative for that and Animal HIV. He’s doubled in size to over 4 pounds since we got him, and the vet said he’s going to be a gigantic cat. She also gave us the green light to feed him all he wants until he stops growing, since Sydney is still a kitten and isn’t really fat (he does have a little potbelly, though). I wanted to ask her about cats being on leashes, but Bunky wouldn’t let me. I liked the new vet way better, and so I guess it pays to shop around for pet care.
