Mistaken Identity

We took one of our kittens, Tiger, to the vet yesterday to get shots and get fixed. She had to be dropped of by 8 am and spent the day there. When I went to pick her up at 6 that night they brought her out and gave me the post-op directions for her care. I went to take her and realized the cat they were trying to give me was not Tiger! The nurses were all confused and said they had 3 cats in that day for surgery that all looked identical and somehow the cats got mixed up and they weren't sure which was which! About the same time someone called on the phone and was talking to a nurse. These people on the phone were calling to say that they had just picked up their cat and had gotten home and realized their cat was wearing someone elses collar. So the nurse told them to bring the collar back in and they would get it to the right owners. Meanwhile, I have been waiting about 20 minutes for them to go find the right cat (although I wouldn't have minded a different cat that was better behaved than the one I brought in). While I am there waiting a guy covered in tattoos and piercings walks in carrying a cat. He says he is the guy who called about the wrong collar. When they started looking closer they realized not only was it the wrong collar but also the wrong cat! It was Tiger. They sent her home with this guy! Lucky for her they brought her back and she is now safe at home. Just a little incompetent! Don't think we will be going back there. I'm just hoping they did the right surgery, guess we will find out if she has kittens. Cami thinks Tiger looks adorable with her cone around her neck that stops her from licking her wound. She has been a little mother to Tiger, petting her and making her a little bed out of towels on the bathroom floor. Chris asked Cami today if she wanted to be a dr. that takes care of animals when she gets bigger. Cami said, "No, I want to be a mommy. I just don't want to have any kids!" Nice.
