Maddie on Prozac
Maddie had a terrible time at the vet yesterday. What cat wouldn’t? She got proclaimed, officially, as a fat cat. She had to have a blood test and was brought back from that in the classic hysterical cat pose where her ears are back but everything else that CAN be extended IS extended. But I didn’t laugh. Didn’t want to hurt her feelings.
So now she is on Prozac. Two half-pills a day, until she calms down and regains her sweet disposition. Since we overlapped the pills yesterday by a bit too much, she was really, really calm for a while there. She stuck close and draped herself over me and I spent the whole night dreaming about carrying Maddie around wherever I was going in my dreams. (I’m very suggestible in my dreams.)
I’ve never been a fan of mood-altering substances. But, I’m sorry, a sedated cat is hilarious.
And sweet, of course.

You should send some of that Prozac to my Dad. His cat really needs it.
Do you remember when we traveled across the country with Heidi...sedated and draped over the back of a car seat for most of the trip? I think it only took one pill, on the first day, and she was CALM! Yes, sedated cats are really funny!
