Ugh, horrible morning. Wasn't feeling hungover thankfully, but we had to take Minerva to the vets again. This time it was for her boosters. She was due to go yesterday but had spewed then pooed in the fabric cat carrier Emma put her in (her previous owner). Emma had agreed that she would pay for them and then that would be it: she's ours now. But due to money issues, she picked a vets which is a 30 minute drive away as it was cheaper. Which is fine normally, but Minerva gets carsick. So yesterday's attempt was abandoned & we re-booked for today.

It was horrible. She spewed initially, then pooed, then weed just as we got there. We opened her carrier and she looked so upset, like a drowned rat. As soon as she walked out onto the vets table the urine just started pooling around her paws :( Had to clean everything before we could start the examination, I felt so sorry for Minerva. We got her home without her doing anything else, but I had to take her into the shower with me and hose her down. I even used shampoo on her! She hates water, so she kept trying to climb up the glass. She'd try and jump out and then slip, it was bloody awful. Made me want to cry :( Not sure if it's carsickness or claustrophobia maybe. Emma swears this has only started happening since Minerva went missing for 5 months.

Later in the afternoon we had all calmed down & gone back to normal. Craig spent the afternoon building a new bookcase with the bits he bought yesterday. Then my Dad, Mam, Grandfather, his gf Sylvia & my Aunty Lynne came to visit for an hour or two. Minerva heard the door go and legged it straight upstairs under our bed in case she got put in a box again :( Took me a while to coax her back out, we made sure to give her plenty of treats today. Was nice to see the family again though.
