Hey pals. Well, as ya can see by da above picture, my swollen lip wuz still lookin da same swollen dis morning. I has not been razzin like Crockett, I leaves da tongue ackshun up to him - even if all he had to offer today wuz a baby razz.
We still don't know what caused my lip to swell up - it coulda been a weekend squabble wif Angelique, but we are not shure.
Anyways, it wuz not improvin, so off to da vet I went.
Earlier dis month, I won a giveaway hosted by Truffle and Brulee of Sweet Purrfections for a Petmate Jackson Galaxy expandable carrier. Momma didn't think we'd have da oppurrtunity to give it a test run until next month (I are due for a tooth cleaning), but she pulled it out today.
I really liked da carrier - I ackshually did NOT sing da Song of My People in da car like usual.
Dis soft carrier shure beat da old hard-side PTU. And since I was sitting on momma's lap, I could feel her which helped me keep calm. I even licked her through da mesh.
And I wuz able to snuggle down.
I got to see all my friends at da vet (I are Wendy da Vet Tech's FAVORITE cat - she are not really a "cat person" but says I are so chill, she would like to have a cat like me). I's super calm at da vet and never bite and scratch, so I are an easy patient. I got a shot wif some Aunty Inflammatories and some udder stuffs - it wuz not an abscess, so I didn't hafta get it lanced or nuffin. It are kinda of a wait and see thing to make shure it just a lil swollen lip and not a tumor or something else. If I still has it next Tuesday, I are gonna hafta to go back.
While I wuz waiting, momma popped down da sides so I could explore da new PTU - I like dat it wuz expandable - more room are always good. I could even have Crockett in here for a Mancat Pawty!
As ya can tell, plenty of room to explore. I are definitely a fan of dis new PTU - nuffin like traveling in style, even if it are just to da vet. So check out da Petmate Jackson Galaxy expandable carrier - you'll be glad ya did.
I bet ya thought wif all dis adventures of a new PTU and a vet visit dat I forgot bout it being Thoroughly Poetical Thursday. NOPE! Here's da pic and here's da poem . . .
Ballerinas really luv to dance
They spin, leap, and jump given the chance
Beautiful, they are often desired
Hardworking, they are to be admired
Strong, graceful, athletic, and all that
They's got lots in common wif a cat!

Glad to hear you are doing OK,but sorry that your lip is swollen and you had to visit the Vet.
ReplyDeleteThat is a pawsome carrier.Ours does not have the expandable sides.

Yeah, I really liked da carrier.
DeleteOh my stars, your lip really did puff up, poor angel. We hope it's simple to cure, with the meds you were given.
ReplyDeleteMe too - we's hopin it's nuffin more serious.
DeleteCrikey Travis ..... that’s some fat lip you got there mate!! Hope it goes down soon. Don’t want anything spoiling your good looks, aye?? I LOVE your carry thingoe. It’s a real home away from home and I see you’re still doing that poetry stuff. You’re quite the talent, aye? Get better soon!!
ReplyDeleteFanks Charlie.
DeleteSorry you had to go to the vet, but at least you travelled in style in your new carrier. I hope your lip goes down with the meds and I am sending good thoughts that you don't have to go back again.
ReplyDeleteIt has gone down. :)
DeleteThat's awesome that you like the new carrier, Travis... even if it took a visit to the vet to find that out.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I wuz definitely happier in it than I have been in da old hard side one.
DeleteTravis I'm glad you got to use the new PTU - it's totally pawsome. I'm also hoping that your lip gets better and you don't have to do more stuff at the vet to fix it - purrrhaps your meds will do the trick. Somehow even though you had all that excitement, you pulled off a PERFECT POEM for Poetical Thursday. My Mom and I love it and I'm sure Angel Sammy will too - you're right - we cats are every bit as GRACEFUL as a ballerina! We're "catarinas" !
ReplyDeleteLove, Teddy
I's so glad y'all liked da poem!
Deletehari OM
ReplyDeleteOMC Travis, that is some swelling you got going on there - now tell me privately, you don't go all botox on us didya??? Seriously though, I send POTP and hope this (luxurious) pet visit pays off. Hugs and whiskeries, YAM-aunty xxx
pssst.... you couldn't be allergic to something in that turkey food you tried??? Even stuff that has 'no things' in it can occasionally have something... Yxx
DeleteMOL - no lip injections here!

ReplyDeleteYeah, dis are my second time wif it too.
DeleteOh, sweetie, we're so sorry about your lip, even if our Mom wants to kiss it. Did you eat a bug that bit you, maybe? We love that carrier! And what a fun poem!
ReplyDeleteI coulda - we don't know what caused it.
DeletePoor baby! I hope the meds kick in fast so you don't have to go back. This is a pawsome PTU though!
ReplyDeleteFanks! And my lip has gone down, so no return trip needed.
DeleteTraavis, we hope your lip is better soon , but at least you had a comfortable trip to the Stabby Place. Purrs.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it coulda been worse.
DeletePoor Travis, I hope you feel better soon. XO
ReplyDeleteFank you!
DeleteOh boy, that expandable carrier really caught dad's attention. It looks nice and roomy for sure. Hope your lip turns out okay.
ReplyDeleteIt are really nice - I wuz a big fan!
DeleteOh, I hope your lip is better soon. That new PTU looks interesting. It's great that you felt more comfortable in it and didn't feel so stressed going to the vet.
ReplyDeleteYeah, we's hopin Angelique likes it too since she gets super-stressed about vet visits (she's had multiple stress-induced seizures from it).
DeleteWe're sorry you had to go to the vet, Travis, but at least you traveled in style! Ernie has had a puffy lip. His is due to allergies. Maybe yours is too?
ReplyDeleteCould be - it's a bit of a mystery.
DeleteWell, it's a PTU, but we must admit it's a really cool PTU ! We hope you have nothing serious with your lip and hope it's easy to heal. Purrs
ReplyDeleteIt's gone down a lot, so I guess da meds did da trick.
DeleteGosh! I am just now catching up! I hope your fat lip heals up. Your PTU looks PAWSOME! If you do have a man cat pawty take some pictures!
