A Trip To The Vet
Available!
You know, it seems that customer service seems to have hit rock bottom these days. Take this for example. My wife and I have been adopted by a cat. Yes, you read that right. The cat just came along one day and just started living outside our door. It was getting pretty thin, so we decided to feed it. Of course, it's still around. We never did find out where the cat came from. Since it made itself our pet (or us its), we decided we had better call the vet to find out how much it would cost to get the cat fixed. We already had one cat that we hadn’t planned on. I didn’t want to find a bunch of little ones on the back porch either. Of course, we don't really know if it's a male or female. So, I called the vet:Me: Before I find out how much it costs to get fixed, can you tell me how to tell if it's a boy or girl cat?
Vet: Well, it should be pretty obvious.
Me: Sorry, I'm not that intimate with my pet.
Vet: (pauses) Yes, well, um, has the cat shown any odd behaviour?
Me: Well, the cat adopted us.
Vet: The cat did WHAT?
Me: Just what I said. Came along one day, never left. Follows us around, greets us when we get home, and so on. We didn't go get a cat; it came to us.
Vet: OK...um, well, has the cat shown any OTHER odd or unusual behaviour?
There is a pause here. I guess I just don't seem to be getting the idea of what she's looking for. So, I decide humor is the best option.
Me: Well, now that you mention it, the cat has been doing pretty good Elvis impersonations and has been levitating in front of our window. Oh, yeah. And it’s head keeps spinning around. Do any of those count?
