Siepke hates to travel.

Last time we tried to bring him to friends to take care for him over a weekend, in a cat-box/container. On a distance of ~30 kilometers he made around 27 rotations in his cage, lost bladder control and his paws were bleeding. :(

So I went to the vet to get some pet-tranquilizers, the stuff you give your dog/cat when newyear’s eve’s fireworks drive it crazy.
The vet said: “basically it’s very safe, just makes him drowsy and relaxed.. give it 3 hours before you move. But: every cat reacts different.. give him one and see what happens but test it one evening BEFORE you make the move.”

Ok.. at six p.m. we gave Siepke a pill and waited…

half an hour later I had a mad cat in my arms, the phone to the vet in my hands.
According to him “Siamese can have a little more, usually…” and that the pill works 6~10 hours.
Siepke at this moment more looked like a dog than a cat and gave sounds that I did not recognize as the ones a cat is able to produce. According to Anna he was “totally wasted” and I can only agree to this .

I don’t know what is better when we make the move. A cat on LSD (his eyes.. so spooky) that is on a horror-trip the whole time of the moving or a cat that is in sheer terror the whole time…
