Bonjour de la Suisse

Hello from Switzerland! ~~ The adventures of a California girl who got married to a great guy, G, and traded in her old life for the chance to live in a foreign land and live the expat life for a couple years. We live in Geneva, Switzerland with our globe-trotting cat, Scout.

Do you need a bus ticket for a cat?!?

Well, it has been a little over a year since Scout has moved to Switzerland and she has finally run out of the many pounds of prescription cat food we hauled here for her. So, it was time to find a vet (and restock her food supply). We got a recommendation for an English speaking vet and we made an appointment. We actually had to go twice, once for a blood test and once for an exam and consultation.

Now all this wouldn't be big news, except that we don't have a car and we had to take the bus. It was Scout's first ride on the bus, (planes, trains, and automobiles are all she has experienced so far) and from all the racket she was making, I can safely assume she didn't like it. She was meowing and howling so loud... I think the other passengers must have thought I was torturing the poor dear. It was a bit of a hike home, but I decided to walk, which she seemed to like more than the bus.

Oh, and the health report was good, except that little weight problem.... 7.5 kilos! She was prescribed the same food, but now she is on an even stricter diet. I'm bound and determined to get her slim and trim, no more fat cats in this house! :)
