When I went to the vet, I was told that the doctor wanted to speak with me before I took my cat home.
So the veterinary technician escorted me the the examination room where I was to wait; and then she stepped out, telling me she would be right back with my cat. A moment later I heard a low but piercing hissy sound that abruptly rose to roiling screams ~ a sound normally emitted from a coffeemaker steamer attachment while it is frothing milk.
And I was actually thinking, oh, how nice, they must have a cappuchino machine in the back, when the technician opened the door a crack, poked her head in to say, don't worry ~ that wasn't him, and slipped out again, to the sound of staff soothing a scowling kitty...
