The Whisker Hostel Pharmaceutical Incident

by Mark Krueger

Product Description:

A veterinarian gave Mark one simple job.

Give the cats their pills.

Keep them healthy.

How difficult could that possibly be?

Apparently, the veterinarian forgot to include the warning labels.

WELCOME TO THE PHARMACEUTICAL INCIDENT.

Mark follows the veterinarian's directions.

The cats have a different treatment plan.

What begins as a simple attempt to give medication quickly turns into escape attempts, negotiations, screaming, disappearing suspects, tactical decisions, property damage, and at least one trip to the emergency room.

The medicine is for the cats.

Somehow Mark is the one who ends up needing treatment.

EVERY CAT HAS A STRATEGY.

Henry announces NO NO NO NO before launching like a surface to air missile.

Spooky barely moves and still manages to cause destruction.

Bubba becomes the household emergency broadcast system, starts a riot, and then gets offended by the chaos he created.

Luna turns medication into a formal administrative hearing.

Casper disappears whenever his participation is required.

Bella appears to cooperate.

That should worry everyone.

THE CATS ARE REAL. THE DISASTER IS FICTION.

The Pharmaceutical Incident is a fictional comedy inspired by the real cats of The Whisker Hostel, their real names, personalities, quirks, and the very real experience of trying to convince a cat to do something it has absolutely no intention of doing.

Veterinary instructions such as "give one tablet by mouth" leave out several important details.

Gloves.

Face protection.

Hockey equipment.

Kevlar.

Enter The Whisker Hostel.

The cats can check in anytime they like, but Mark can never leave.

And whatever you do, do not tell them where the pills are kept.
