Party piece

Mr Perkins was adorably snuggly yesterday. Today, he was not.

After I'd retrieved him from under the bed, we bundled him into his carrier and I took him the short distance through the pouring rain to the car.

Mr Perkins hates the car.

I was treated to a lot of feline objections all the way there.

He was on best behaviour when we got to the vets. He let her poke and prod him and vaccinate him without too much fuss. He's in good shape.

On the way back, he was subdued as usual after his vaccinations. Until I accidentally knocked his carrier when I changed gear. The objections started up again.

Then he did his party piece.

The volume of the objections increased a hundredfold, and I'm sure the whole street must have heard, given I had to open the window.

Once home, he was deposited in the bath. I attempted to hold him in place while Mr Pandammonium attempted to shower him.

After we attempted to dry Mr Perkins, I cleaned the bath, Mr Pandammonium cleaned the carrier, and Mr Perkins sulked under the bed.
