Gato Goes to the Vet

So, we named the cat Gato (until we think of a better name). I like “Ping” (Luciana thinks it sounds too asian). She likes “Geek”, I think it sounds too insulting (although we are both geeks).

I took Gato to the vet to get some shots, checked for fleas and treated for worms. He was VERY nervous because I think that he thought he was being returned. Previously someone had taken him home but found out the roommate was alergic so they brought the cat back to the shelter. So I bet he thought he was being returned again when I took him out of our house.

The treatment for the worms must have caused him to poop because he left a stinky one in his cat carrier that stuck to his butt and leg. I have some nice cuts on my hands from washing him, though he was rather calm considering how much cats normally hate being washed.
