Christmas Leave

So I know I am writing this a little bit too late but 
It is something I just had to share......


As you know this is Tiger. 
My cat that I brought to NC with me from WA




Since we were going to fly back to WA for Christmas 
I decided that I was going to fly her back with us too (haha)
Easier said than done

I took her to the vet to get sedatives for her so 
she would be a good girl on the plane. 
The vet told me to try them out a day earlier
 so I could see how long it took to effect her. 
So I gave her 1/4 of the pill like told to and an hour and
 a half later I could see that she was much more sleepy. I thought okay this will be fine. 
Boy I was sure wrong

When Lawrence's cousin took us to the airport at 4 in the 
morning she was screaming in the truck and 
Lawrence wanted to throw her out the window. 
So we got to the airport and she was fine as I carried her around. 
The we get on the plane and get going and 
she is meowing and digging at her fabric/mesh bag.

By the time we got onto our second flight I just knew it was
 going to be a very long day. Our next flight was five hours long and i was dreading it. 
When we were about halfway through this flight she was screaming
 her head off and no joke chewing her way through the plastic mesh. 
So being the idiot that I am I decided I was going to put my
 hand in to pet her and clam her down. She ended up shoving her 
teeth through my hand and using her very sharp 
claws to tear my hand apart. I pulled my hand out once
 I could pry her off with my other hand and was crying because
 I was in pain and my hand was all bloody. 

By the time I got to WA I was relieved to finally be done with my horrid experience. 
I knew we still had another two hour drive but my parents 
were picking us up so I knew it would be that bad once 
Tiger could get out and roam around the car. 

Well she was so happy still cried a little bit was not going insane. 

She even got back into her bag and was laying in 
it while we sat in the parking lot of Walmart.

Anyways I made an appointment with our mobile vet that comes to our town to get her a new health certificate and to see if there was anything else we could do so she would be calm for her next flight.

I ended up bailing on our way to meet up with the vet since she was freaking out in the car. I could not handle another 12 hours of flying with her again. 

Funny story to this whole thing is that I kept telling the 
vet that the sedative 
DID NOT WORK.
SHe kept telling me she thought that Tiger was
 just hiding it is her cheek and spiting it our when I wasn't looking.
 I knew that was wrong.


Well......... Last week my mom took her to the same vet again 
(since we ended up leaving her with my parents in WA)
She was going to go get fixed since she had already
 had an appointment to get fixed when I brought her back which obviously didn't happen.

She had figured out how to use the doggie door while we were 
there to and was seen with another cat that lives in our garage. 
( She also managed to get gasoline all over her tail, but and hind legs)

When the vet went to go fix she found out that indeed she was pregnant
non of the medication worked that they gave her, she pulled out her IV, and tore all her stitches so they had to re-stitch her and said they believe me now. 

She is officially a CRAZY CAT.....

And she loves it at my parents since she has dogs to chase and she gets into everything




She is still my baby though :)
