These have been quite intense days because my cat Modì hasn't been well, and finding a vet in this city seems harder than finding water on Pluto. The situation has improved now, but it was really frustrating. Our regular vet is out of town, so I had to opt for a video call with a clinic (transporting Modì with his tummy issue would have been a nightmare).
Unfortunately, on the other end, I encountered a less motivated vet who referred to my cat as a 'geriatric relic' (Modì is 16 years old, ndr). As I've immediately mentioned to him, the purpose of the game is to grow old. He called me touchy and "cat mom" (who I am indeed, otherwise i wouldn't have adopted Modì). What makes me sad, is that many associate old with useless or worse, disposable.
In the meantime, Modì has won a supply of new - outrageously expensive- food and the attention of all my friends who drop by with the most unlikely excuses just to see how he's doing. Seeing him improve makes me only think that I'm really glad that arrogant vet is already a memory.
Modì thanks everyone for the attention!
