SOLSC Day 27
Getting an invitation in the mail is exciting. Maybe it is to a party celebrating an important event in a friend’s life. Could be a birthday party. Cake and ice cream – yum.
Maybe it is an anniversary. Celebrating the many years a couple has shared as partners in life. Good food and a glass of bubbly – best wishes.
Maybe a family member is getting married and you have been invited to share this wonderful day with them. Again, good food, drinks, dancing – a toast to the happy couple.
I enjoy getting invitations and always look forward to the coming event. I get excited as the day draws closer.
However, there is someone in our family that is not thrilled to get an invitation. She doesn’t want to hear about. She doesn’t want to go and makes quite a fuss when the day and time to leave arrives.
I know there will be crying all the way to the destination. I know there will be drooling. I know she will not be happy.
On Monday Molly received an invitation.
I haven’t told her she got this invite and I don’t plan on telling her. Our vet is wonderful and has taken care of all of our animals for the last 30 some years. She takes excellent care of Molly as well as our other cats. Dr. Thorton, please know that this is not a reflection on you or your great staff. It is just the way Molly is. She doesn’t do vets – if she can help it.

I enjoy invites too but Tuvia left me in the DUST!!! 🙂
It is hard going from two to one.
Molly is such inspiration—even her resistance is a source!
You never know what an animal will do.
Hahaha… I have some grandkids who adamantly and vocally agree with Molly.
I am not a fan of doctor’s visits either.
Lucy hates those, too!
Somehow she just knows where she is going.
Love the way you structured this post! Hope all goes well for Molly!
thanks, Rose. Once she gets there she is fine. All the way home she sleeps. It is just getting there.
I am with Molly on this, no invitation to a doctor would make me excited. Ice cream and cake on the other hand – any time!
Molly would like the ice cream and cake as well.
Love you Molly!
She really does feel the same way too.
Vaccines, not too bad. Dentist, that is a different story. Perhaps Molly deserves a reward after each visit…
She does get one when we get home. Plus we always tell her what a good girl she was.
I enjoyed having a suspicion about who the unwilling recipient of an invitation might be. You built a bit of suspense and let us have little laugh of understanding and perhaps commiseration. Few pets relish a visit to the vet.
She sees the carrier come and it is like she immediately knows what is going to happen.
I did not see that twist coming, but it’s true! Getting our cats to the vet is an energy-draining ordeal that results in sulking for days. Good luck!
The shot she gets usually has her knocked out for a day or two.
What an unexpected ending! Vets definitely aren’t at the top of the list for our pets! Loved reading your slice!
Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I am glad our vet doesn’t take Molly’s attitude personally.
Poor Molly! I am waiting for an invitation like this. But our cat needs to be groomed too. She is definitely not going to be happy about that. She is getting too old to do a good job on herself, and she is a long haired cat!
Our Ned is like that, too. He is a long hair and refuses to let us comb or brush him.
Loved your slice – got quite the chuckle! Thanks – I needed that
You’re welcome. It seems when I am stumped for a topic one of the cats comes through.
Poor Molly! It looked like she knew about impending events . . .Clever slice! Loved the “maybe” format and cause and effect type response!
She sees the carrier and she knows exactly what it means.
Superb, love the suspense. I have a feeling cat slices seem to get more responses than other topics. May have to drag mine into a slice soon!
Animal stories do seem to be a draw for readers. Would love to read about yours.
Ha! Molly’s face says it all in that photo! Luckily our cat who most has to go to the vet, Oliver, is a real trouper riding in the car and going to the vet. When he gets home, he runs around chortling and face sniffing each cat just to say hello, I’m back, I missed you, did you miss me? Sadly, no one even notices he’s gone!
It is amazing how expressive a cat’s face can be.
