[Prep to leave China]: I GOT THE FUZZIES TO THE VET.

Merrill knew something was up

Plurk is excited, too. It's posting things twice. Silly plurk

Ru was very easy to shove into the backpack carrier

Merrill was hiding, fussy and very unimpressed

She eventually, through luring of a freeze dried fish, emerged from under the bed and was snatched into her own carrier

The entire ride there must have been hilarious for onlookers

I had Ru on my back, Merrill on the side in a long carrier and my own bag scooting along with my scooter

Merrill gladly sang the songs of her people to any/every passerby

Ru was content to just chill. He's such a menace until he's spooked and then he's like. The best cat ever. lol

NOT A PEEP. Just staring wide eyed t everything

*at

Both of them had their long-due rabies shot and Ru had to get chip'd. Easy, painless, in and out quickly

So next vet trip is the health check-up 7 days before the flight

In a literal month

So I procrastinated the longest I could

Yay for necessary vet trips!

Yessss very necessary. I wasn't sure how it would go logistically with the scooter

But it worked out fine. I think it was easier for them as well since I could pause when I needed to and give them a break without too much motion sickness. Merrill has a lot of trouble with it

It meant a 20 min scooter ride became 30-40ish but they benefitted for it
