Woman in stitches at vet's letter reminding cat Loki about his annual check-up
A woman has been left in stitches after her cat received an addressed letter in the post reminding him about his upcoming vet appointment. Rather than writing to the owner, Dr Mike at the Animal Medical Centre, in New Zealand, decided to pen a letter directly to Loki, a cat who has an incoming check-up.
The adorable letter has taken the internet by storm, and reads: "Dear Loki, It’s time for your vaccination, which is very important to prevent you from contracting infectious NZ diseases from your fellow cat mates or the environment.” It went on to say that Loki would also have a general health check while there, to assess for any additional health problems, including: “Lumps and bumps, long nails, fleas, creaky joints, sore teeth, or pesky extra weight.”
The letter also asked Loki to: “Let your people know that it’s time to give us a call and make the appointment for you – when it can be fitted in between naps of course.” And if the owners were busy, then the pet could also be picked up using their Animal Medical Centre Pet Taxi.

The letter, posted on Reddit by Loki's owner, sent other cat owners into a tailspin, with one saying: “I love how thoughtful this is,” and another commenting: “I like this guy, too bad he’s a bit far.” One said their cat Charlie would have ‘destroyed this letter before I saw this,’ while another cat owner said: “Wow! I wish my vet had transport.”

It comes after a vet issued an emotional plea on Reddit, urging owners to stay with their pets as they take their last breath. The vet said: "I'm sick of people dropping their dogs off to be euthanized. It might be hard to say goodbye but it's hell for them. They already don't like the vet, they're confused, they're scared, they're sad and they're looking for you when they take their last breath. "
She tries to provide as much love and comfort as possible in their final moments, but she knows it doesn't compare to the love they'd feel from their owner. She shared an example: "Today, a lady dropped off her 13-year-old dog to be put to sleep after I told her we didn't have a vet in the clinic as she was on farm calls all day, she insisted on leaving her there at 9am, knowing that our vet wouldn't be back until well after 6pm.
"She was too busy to bring her back later, so she left her sweet girl to be alone all day before dying. I kept her with me for most of the day, took her for a small walk, bought her a cheeseburger and donut on my lunch and laid on the ground and cuddled her while she cried, scared and confused."
"I kissed her and told her she was a good girl while she crossed the rainbow bridge, but her eyes never stopped looking for her family. Dogs know what's happening, don't do this to them. Be there when they cross that bridge. It won't kill you, I promise."
