Owner warning

I had 3 cats booked in for their yearly vaccinations, program injections and worming. The computer flashed up a sign saying owner warning, but I was in too much of a hurry to read it and called through Ms Cooper - a tall blonde ‘lady’ with all her cats.

As soon as I looked at Ms Cooper with her large jaw, I realised that she was in fact a man  - with a very pretty smile wearing a long pink skirt and equally bright pink top. She had 3 cats that had put on far too much weight as she had moved to a flat and her cats had become indoor cats but she had continued to feed them as though they were outdoor cats.

I checked the owner warning when she left and it said that from July 2008, Mr Cooper wished to be referred to as Ms Copper as she was transgender. I dealt with her as I would any client but had a quiet chuckle to myself when I asked her if she wanted me to carry the cat carrier with her 2 very heavy cats in it for her. She sweetly replied ‘Oh yes’ as if she was not very strong but her arms were probably twice the size and strength of mine!
