CAT: Tina is attuned

Bright and early Tuesday morning, Tina the Fat Cat had an appointment for her annual checkup at the vet's. At 7:45, I decided we'd better get going. I looked for her but she wasn't in any of her usual post-breakfast lounging spots, either windowsills or soft furniture. Finally I found her cowering under the bed, which she hasn't done since the first day we brought her home.
Somehow she knew what was going on! How?
I eventually coaxed her out, with some gentle nudging from a broom, and loaded her into the carrier. She got a clean bill of health and, thanks to her ample subcutaneous tissue, she didn't even feel her shots. Maybe she'll be less anxious next time, poor creature.

Miss Tina in a calmer moment.
