Dennis Loves Attention

Dennis is proud to be a hypochondriac because you never know, and it's good to be constantly checked over by doctors. Dennis counts down the days until his appointment, and then lounges in his carrier all morning until his chauffeur arrives.



Finally Dennis makes it to his favorite doctor's office.




Dr. Kasman and Nurse Pretty Girl examine Dennis carefully. Dennis is sure something must be wrong, but the Doctor can't find anything. Still Dennis insists he needs some medicine to take home, so the doctor gives him a bottle of ear wash. Dennis thinks he may need to see a specialist.

Lounging in a pet carrier was the last thing Sebastian would have been caught doing. Sheesh! What a struggle! Dennis, on the other hand, seems to be enjoying himself in his private quarters.

I hope Dennis's opinion is wrong regarding the specialist.

Oh that doctor wanted to give Dennis an earful. They had settle for a metaphorical equivalent. Dennis looks fine to me.

I wish Moumoune would be like that when she has to go to the doctor!

bitchlet said...

Dennis is Bitchlet's soulmate. Whenever Bitchlet's blood tests turn out to be normal, she wonders if the pathologists have given her a fake report.

She always goes to specialists.

Dennis might like to vist my blog and climb into a flying saucer. I spotted a flying saucer in my sky today. :)

Around here, just the mere hint of the door of the carrier creaking open, and all cats disappear. Soul was in a fight with a rogue white cat and has a head wound! He's taking amoxicilin!

Shammickite said...

Dennis, I can't believe that your personalised cat carrier is... dare I say it.... PINK!

Laila and Angel Minchie said...

Got to loves the pink cat carrier! Glad they found nothing wrong.

Feel better Dennis! We love you!

The Furry Kids said...

Dennis, it kinda looks like the doctor and the nurse are manhandling you. Or rather, cat-handling you. Dennis should be treated with more respect than that. I had some medicine a couple of weeks ago. I would have definitely shared it with you. Hang in there, my tuxie friend.

i don't understand why Dennis loves the doctor's office. i kick, scream, scratch, bite, throw up, and then cry. and then Dr. K. smiles at me and says "eddy, you're fiesty!" i hate that place. they stick things up your bottom and poke you with needles that hurt really bad! it's horrible! but for Dennis it's like a spa! he likes it! he's asking them to check everything twice!
he's marking the next appointment on his calendar now!

Daisy said...

Oh Dennis, you make me laugh out loud!

Doctor Daisy prescribes lots and lots of medicinal catnip. I think you can get some in California.

Poppy Q said...

Dennis a pink ptu. How metrosexual of you.

Angel Junior, Orion and Sammy said...

Dennis! I can't believe you actually want to go to the v-e-t!!

Unknown said...

Smokey doesn't mind the vet either Dennis. You are brave and I see you are also cautious. That's cute you have a calendar. You must be a busy cat! By the way, I think your tummy is cute. You don't mind they turn you over like that by your legs??

Nomi said...

Dennis. Do you REALLY like going to the vet? I find it twaumatic efen though vet Patti and vet Trudy are really nice to me. Miewmie makes me go effry 3 months to get a wormie pill. Oh how I hate it.

LKD said...

Dennis, you better get a hold of Edward and teach him your Zen mastery of vet visits. Sounds like the little dude could use a few lessons in transcendence.

lettuce said...

ear wash eh? i could give you some suggestions about nice ear treatments...

Bobby D. said...

hard to believe it, but Denny does love the cat carriers and going to the doctor. I'm scared of the doctor, but pliable... and Eddy is a total freak.

LKD said...

Maybe Dennis is a masochist.


Hmmmm......

(or a meowsochist?)

He's the only cat I've ever heard of that actually enjoys vet visits.

mouse (aka kimy) said...

our kitties go into hiding if they see the cat carrier....we have to be very sneaky when someone needs to go to the vet.

when we were driving on rt. 309 in pennsylvania we saw a sign advertising massage therapy for pets, perhaps dennis would like something like! perhaps he just likes to have dr kasman and nurse pretty girl's hands all over him????

Boy said...

Oh Dennis! It's good the doctor can't find anything! Ear wash is a good medicine to take home.

Scaredy Cat said...

You insist on your rights and get the best possible medication there is. People just don't understand how delicate we cats are.

WAT said...

WAT thinks Dennis and him should possibly both go to therapy together. Being a hypochondriac and requiring all that attention is a cause for concern.

Cergie said...

I would like to know : do you share the pink box with Ched and Edward ?

(Dennis, you are Cergie's favorite cat, don't tell that to Edward and Ched. Please. It's a secret.
So... Are you happy ? Isn’t it a good therapy ?)

Steve Reed said...

Awww...feel better, Dennis.

Prixie said...

you're very well behaved at the docs! admit it, u just wanted pain killers so you can sleep better! LOL ;P

We are very glad to hear that you are healthy Dennis but we have never heard of a cat liking to go into the PTU and ride into the big metal moviong thing for a trip to the v-e-t!

R.L. Bourges said...

Dr Kasman sounds very nice and Nurse Pretty Girl seems to be holding you just right. My vet is just around the corner so I can walk over and get petted by everyone we meet as we go along. My humans say I am a walking petting zoo. I think that means "yes, please" in a foreign language.

Thanks for visiting me on Sunday.

your canine friend, Cybèle

Charlie and Coco are amazed at your bravery, Dennis.
We also have to be very, very sneaky when introducing the cat carrier, cos they know it means a trip to either the v-e-t or to the cat hotel.
They howl at me in the car. It's one time when I'm glad I don't speak fluent cat!

Oh, Dennis, I am sure you are fine. I like your striped zebra cushion in your carrier. Very stylish.

Mickey's Musings said...
