    POOR, SICK KITTY


    This is what Kitty looks like when she’s a happy,
    healthy pussycat.

    Bad Kitty Goes Vet int 2nd pass.indd 5 4/15/15 9:36 AM


    She has lots of energy.

    She has a good appetite.

    Bad Kitty Goes Vet int 2nd pass.indd 7 4/15/15 9:36 AM


    She has a really, REALLY good appetite.

    Bad Kitty Goes Vet int 2nd pass.indd 8 4/15/15 9:36 AM


    And she keeps herself nice and clean.

    Bad Kitty Goes Vet int 2nd pass.indd 9 4/15/15 9:36 AM


    But that’s not how Kitty looks today. She looks terrible.
    She looks tired. She looks unhappy. She does not
    look healthy at all.

    And worst of all . . . Kitty is just not eating her food.

    Kitty, I just don’t understand why you’re not eating.
    I’ve watched grown men cry trying to beat you at a
    hot dog eating contest. I once saw you swallow an
    entire liver and pineapple pizza in one gulp. I’ve
    seen you consume an entire meatloaf the size of a
    car in just five minutes. It was horrifying.

    But today you’re not even touching your breakfast!
    Please, Kitty! Eat something! You’re starting to get us
    worried.

    Try to sit up, Kitty. Let’s check you out. Maybe you
    have a hair ball caught in your throat.

    Bad Kitty Goes Vet int 2nd pass.indd 14 4/15/15 9:36 AM


    Nothing? Hmmmm . . . I think I should feel your belly
    just to see if you have any lumps.

    Hold still, Kitty. I promise this won’t hurt one bit.

    Sorry about that, Kitty. I honestly had no idea you
    were so ticklish.

    Bad Kitty Goes Vet int 2nd pass.indd 17 4/15/15 9:36 AM


    I think that maybe it’s time to take your temperature,
    Kitty.

    Bad Kitty Goes Vet int 2nd pass.indd 18 4/15/15 9:36 AM


    Uhhhh . . . Sorry, Kitty. It’s not that kind of thermo-
    meter.

    That is not helpful, Kitty.

    Bad Kitty Goes Vet int 2nd pass.indd 20 4/15/15 9:36 AM


    Look, Kitty, you’re obviously not feeling well, and
    we have no idea what’s wrong. But we know that
    something IS wrong. It could be serious. It could be
    nothing. But if you’re not going to let me take your
    temperature, then someone else will have to.

    Great.
    Well, I guess she has a little energy left in her after
    all.
