    Hair - I took one of my cats to the vet yesterday for his yearly checkup. My vet has relaxed restrictions so it's no longer the techs coming out to get the cat from the car, we're now back sitting in the waiting room.

    Font - He is a big cat but not overweight, something in the mix of his genes created a large dude - 18.2 pounds. Due to his size, he doesn't fit in the carriers I have for my other cats so I use an older carrier that was for my smallish dog. This carrier was used to transport my dog overseas not in cargo, so it's TSA approved and nicer than the average carrier. Little more roomy, not plastic, lots of mesh for visibility, quite cozy. The poor thing had to sit in it for 8 hours, of course we wante

    Font - There was another woman in the waiting room with her cat in a large plastic kennel-sort of unit, the ones where you can unlatch and separate the top from the bottom halves, easily twice the size of my carrier. I was focused on calming my cat down so wasn't really paying attention to her, but heard her coughing and clearing her throat repeatedly so I asked if she was okay.

Again, I had no idea what she was talking about so I said I'm not doing anything like that.

I may not be wealthy but I at least give a shit about my pets.

    Font - I got called back before she could reply. I know it was a low blow, but I was minding my own business when she got up in mine. AITA? 9171 1, Share 1375 Award

    Font - jengaj2016 · 165d Partassipant [4] You are NTA. That woman was completely ridiculous. But l'm laughing to myself about the idea of a larger cat carrier. The last time I took my two cats to the vet, I put one (Bo) in the carrier and carried the other one (JJ). It was a terrible idea. He scratched me all over. Once we got in the room, I opened the carrier, but Bo didn't come out, of course. We were just waiting anyway and she was scared. I turned my back for just a second, and when I turned
