Wow I got an email from the vet man this morning!  It says:

Alley!

Look in the mail box next week. Your reminder is coming attached to the latest issue of HealthyPet Magazine, so be on the lookout for it! We look forward to seeing you and [Mom and Dad names removed] during your next visit.

Alley you are due for:

9/23/2009 Wellness Exam; Feline 4-7 Year

Sincerely,

The Staff at
Fox Nest Veterinary Hospital

You know this is good and bad all at the same time. I love getting surprises, and I can’t wait to get my free magazine, but I don’t want my Wellness Exam.  The Wellness Exam is my big yearly checkup, and that means I’m going to get poked and prodded.  I’ll have to get my shots, and I hate shots.

I bet Mom is making a list of stuff to talk to the vet about like all the weight I’ve gained since last year, and how I throw up more these days.  I’ve always had a problem with throwing up because I eat my food too fast, but over the last week I’ve been doing it a lot.  I meow for food, Mom puts more food in my bowl, I eat it fast, I get sick, and then I meow for more.  Now Mom says no you can’t have more!  She’s regulating how much I eat, and she wants to make sure there isn’t a new reason I’m getting sick after I eat.  I bet she’ll ask the vet how to burn fat when it comes to kittehs, too, so I won’t be so fat anymore. I hope he doesn’t say I need to go for walks like Bubba does!  I don’t want to go on a diet either!

Do you know the worst part of all?  I have to ride to the vet guy’s place in that box hoomans call a cat carrier.  I get sick and throw up all over the place inside those boxes, so maybe I’ll get lucky and not need one.  Last time I went to the vet Mom and Dad didn’t make me ride in it on the way home because I kept throwing up everywhere.  I bet that was because I was all doped up from surgery, but maybe they won’t make me this time either.

Bubba knows I’m going to the vet man, and he’s laughing at me.  Little does he know he has to go, too!
