I took my cat to the vet today for her wellness exam. [View all]

She screamed the whole way in the car; she screamed in the examination room; and I assume she screamed in the room where they took her to give her the exam (I have no idea what they did to her back there because I couldn't hear her screaming). Then they gave me the bill and I screamed. While I was maxing out my credit card to pay the bill, she decided to pee in the crate. I guess that showed me.

I guess you could say it was a traumatic experience for both of us.
