The Vet (Dot’s Eye Part 6)

Volunteer: Attention everyone! The spay and neuter clinic is now full for the day,

Everyone: God dammit

Volunteer: But if you’re only here for shots and microchips, you should stay in line.

Me: Well I’m gonna stay in line, then.

Volunteer: It shouldn’t be too much longer.

One Hour Later

Me: Somebody fucking kill me.

Dot: Let me out of this plastic box and I will grant your wish

Me: You couldn’t hurt a fly without both your eyes.

Dot: Oh yeah?

Me: Yeah.

Dot: Let’s throw down, motherfucker, come on, let’s go!

Volunteer: Mr. Kuh… kit… Mr. J. Matthew?

Me: Yup that’s me

Volunteer: You have Dot with you?

Dot: No, my name is Leo. Dot is my slave name.

Me: Shut up. Yes, Dot is with me.

Volunteer: This way, please.

Veterinarian: Hello, Dot!

Dot: You have freed me from my confinement, and for this I give you affection. Take note, bearded one!

Me: Jesus Christ.

Veterinarian: Wow, your eye is messed up.

Dot: This human abuses me.

Me: That’s a lie and you know it!

Veterinarian: Uh

Me: Dot’s a street kitty. I’ve been feeding him since last summer. When I pulled him into the house last night, I noticed his swollen eye for the first time.

Veterinarian: This looks to me like a bacterial infection. Will you be putting him back on the street?

Me: If you need me to keep him inside to treat him for a week, I will.

Veterinarian: Two weeks, please. Three of these eye drops every twelve hours for fourteen days.

Me: Can do.

So I take Dot back in the carrier, and call for a ride home.

Me, in the car: We’ll get you out of that thing soon, buddy. Got some nice treats for you at home, okay?

Dot: I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you.

Me, sniffing: What is that- Dot!

Dot: ehehehehehehehehehehehe

Me: God dammit cat, now you have to sit in that crate with your shit.

Dot: Yeah but SO DO YOU

Driver: What happened?

Me: You just got an extra tip is what happened.

So Dot came into the house with me and is staying here for two weeks while I nurse his eye back to health. I suspect he’s no longer angry with me though.
