Cleaning the wound

Well, I'm glad to report that the wound cleaning this evening went fine.
Just as it had yesterday at home. I wonder if it went so badly for me
at the vet's because I was standing up? Or if it was seeing her stick
that instrument into the puncture?
I know I have a stress response to needles and stuff. It's not that I
even think it's gross and I'm not scared. It's just a weird thing I
have. But anyway, it seems to be ok if I'm at home and sitting down, so
I'm glad about that.
Vino was a champ, he only made weird noises at me, but didn't really
struggle. He's such a sweetie. He had to spend hours licking himself
to get his poor shaved patch into tiptop shape.
When it came to his antibiotic, I crushed it up and mixed it in with
some Fancy Feast. He didn't even notice and gobbled it right up. Whew!

Such a good cat. Rusty won't eat his food if it has medicine in it.
Won't eat his food period while he was on antibiotics. He should take
some lessons from Vino. But I think Rusty has turned into a stubborn
old cat. OK, Rusty, I mean to say mature cat.

BTW, anyone seen the Garfield comics lately? It is about Garfield at
the vet.

Then he decided he wanted out really, really badly. I wasn't going to
let him but in the end I caved because I figured it was raining anyway
and he wouldn't leave the covered area on the side of the house. This
is exactly what happened, I left the door open and checked frequently
and all he was doing was meatloafing on our steamer, next to the BBQ.
Later we watched Wimbledon together for a bit, then he fell asleep on my
lap. I extricated myself but he's still asleep on the couch.
