#spaycation

it went something like this:

Rule #1. Don't fight over cats!! every year we say this, and every year someone has a breakdown over which cat they did or did not get. (did you think vet students were sane, rational adults? spoiler alert: nope)

Rule #2. EAT LUNCH!! do not face plant into your cat's abdomen because you were too nervous too eat beforehand. Put SOMETHING in your mouth ahead of time.

Rule #3. PEE!!! because you don't want to go through the process of scrubbing and gowning and gloving and THEN decide you have to go. And no, we will not be coming with buckets for you to pee into.

Rule #4. We will push your glasses up your nose for you. We will tuck back hair if it comes loose. We will even scratch itches for you, but anything below the waist is yours to deal with.

Rule #5. If you think you have an emergency - SCREAM. someone will come running.

Rule #6. Every year someone faints. Don't let it be you. If you feel dizzy/light-headed/nauseated -  step away from your cat and sit on the floor.

Rule #7. It's going to be chaotic, but it's also going to be ok.
