I've Been Pwned!

[la_samtyr]

So today I was getting ready to leave on errands when my oldest kitty, Lucky, began acting weird and miaowing funny at me. So I hurried and called the vet, completely forgetting that they closed early today. After talking to the receptionist, I managed an appointment for Monday @ 10:15 am.

All the while, she is waltzing back and forth, miaowing at me and staring at her food dishes. (She already had fresh water; that's one of the first things I do in the morning while I get teh foodz ready.) Finally she begins to push one dish of nice, very finely diced food toward the edge of the desk, and it finally dawns on me that maybe, just *maybe*, that something is wrong with the food. So I scrape it out and put in an outdoor dish for the outdoor cats, where it is inhaled at something just under warp speed. So, nothing wrong with the can, it would seem. So I open a fresh can for her, this time a pate (sic), dump it in her dish -- and she promptly faceplants and gobbles it down. After she finishes, she daintily cleans her face and whiskers, jumps off the desk and goes into my bedroom for a very well-deserved nap!

And I just sit at my desk, facepalming as I realize I have just been pwned by my cat.

PS. I am half-way tempted to cancel the appointment now but I suppose I will keep it instead. Maybe?

You have a manipulative pet too? lol

LOL! Oh yes, yes indeed! She has me very well-trained for the most part. [g]

My old Leo acts the same if the food doesn't please him!

I imagine so, lol! (Otoh, she will be 19 in August so I spoil her even more than I would usually -- or so I tell myself. :)

That's wonderful.Leo is 17 and I think Ginger was about 18 when he vanished.

Coming in quite late on this one. Did you take her to the vet anyway?

My Saidi will ONLY eat pate style. No chunks, flaked, sliced, or "in gravy". And she won't touch anything with fish in it. Thank goodness Friskies has quite a lot of non-fish pate flavors.

No I didn't. I was planning to -- but this is the week before clean-up day where you can haul *anything* to the dump totally free of charge. So I am just closing my eyes and ditching a lot of the mess that my mom ended up accumulating. Since this is a once-a-year thing and My Darling Brat is "ok" I will take her later on, just to be safe.

Unluckily, she only seems to like the mini-cans of a local store brand that was *just* discontinued. :(
