Listen
(GK: Garrison Keillor; SS: Sue Scott: TR: Tim Russell)
. . . brought to you by Bertha's Kitty Boutique. (MEOW)
SS: Mister Pookie! How could you??? On the carpet! (MEOW) We talked about this, Mr. Pookie! You promised! (MEOW)
GK: If your cat is missing the litter box, the problem may be poor eyesight. Yes, cats as they age are susceptible to vision problems. Pookie may be wide of the mark due to simple nearsightedness. Time to bring your cat to see one of our trained veterinary opthalmologists.
TR: Put your paw over your left eye, Mr. Pookie, and tell me which is clearer --- this lens ---- or that lens. (MEOW) Good. Now read the letters on the top row. (SERIES OF MEOWS)
GK: Your cat's irregular toilet habits may be due to cat cataracts. Or nearsightedness or astigmatism.
TR: Hold your head still, Mr. Pookie. I'm going to put this contact lens in your left eye. (MEOW) There we go. Good kitty.
SS: Look---- he's going straight to the neighbors and pooping in their chrysanthemums like he always did. Thanks, Dr. Arcata.
TR: My pleasure, Julie.
GK: The Vision Center at Bertha's Kitty Boutique....for persons who care about cats.
