Our Field Trip

“Olivia, what did you do? Why am I in the bag in which we came from mama? Are they taking us back there; it will be freezing!”

Olivia sighs and shakes her head, then pauses for a moment.

“I did nothing wrong you big baby, and I do not think that they are taking us back to mama. Do you remember the last time we were in these things? We went to see the lady that sticks cold things in our butts”.

A shaking Oscar whispered, “Are you sure, Olivia? We thought we would be with mama forever, and all of a sudden we were in this bag. Just like today…I am not….”

“Oscar”, interrupted Olivia, “get a hold of yourself. We cannot do anything about where we are going anyway. Oh oh, I think we are moving. Meeeeeowwww Meeeeoooowww. Let me out of here!”

“Meeeeeoooooowwww. Mrrrraaaaugghhhh!” cried Oscar. This back and forth between the two of them continued for the remaining five minutes of the ride to….?

“Oscar, I….I think we have stopped.” The sound of car doors closing and opening, and with a tug of the carrier handle, Oscar and Olivia entered the cold air of the outdoors. They both were very quiet and still, not sure about where they were or where they were going. The door in front of them suddenly opened, and the warm air of the indoors jolted the travelers back to life.

“See you baby, we are at that place that puts things in our butts”, yelled Olivia. “I wonder how high you will jump this time.”

“Hush Olivia, those things are soooooo c-c-cold. Brrrrr”.

Olivia began to laugh when: “Ohh, 13 pounds for Oscar’s weight; that’s quite a weight for an 8 month old kitten”, stated the vet tech. “Oscar”, Olivia snickered, “you are fat! How is it you weigh double of what I do? Oh wait, I know this. BECAUSE YOU EAT ALL OF MY FOOD!!!!” Oscar just grunts, and both kittens remain silent until they enter the examination room.

They are both let out of the carriers, and Oscar immediately begins to examine the room. Olivia moves about the examining counter very cautiously. “Oooo, what is this?” Oscar leans forward and sniffs a container of pink liquid. “Ewwwwww, yuch! What the hell?!?” Oscar yells as he jumps onto the floor.

The door of the examining room swung open, and two women entered.

“Oscar, I do not like the looks of this. They are feeling on both of us, but yet acting as if we are not here. At least she knows now for sure that I am siamee……Yeeeeowwwww! What the hell? They did it to me again! She stuck that metal thing in my butt again. Owwie. “

“Oh Olivia, you are such a wimp. Now I….uh oh, my turn. Yeeeeeoooooowwwww! She got me too! Owww, that hurts? What the? She is playing with my bags….and….oohhhh…..I like this one. Heeee.”

“Oscar, you are crazy! She just put us into pain! She is mean!”

Olivia jumps off the table to hide behind a chair. A funny feeling began to set in with the kittens, one that is a very sleepy feeling. Soon the humans said their goodbyes, and before they knew it, Olivia and Oscar were in the car on the way home.

“Olivia, I feel very sleepy.” Olivia tilted her head, sighed, and said “yes, I am too. So very, very sleepy”.

Upon arrival at home, our kittens both found a warm, soft spot to make a bed, curled up into little balls, and slept the day away.
