The Fuzzy White Queen of the Universe AKA Furbeast, Flufferoo, and Pooper, had a REALLY BAD DAY. She was – shoved in a box – introduced to kittens – weighed – fondled by strangers – had a thermometer inserted you know where – had vaccine squirted up her nose – had two vaccines injected in her butt – had blood drawn – ordered to submit to subQ fluids more frequently – shoved back into a…
