Puss In Boots's POV.
I was in the vet, just waking up, did something happen? Did I break a bone during the fight with the giant? I hear the doctor call my name, I get annoyed a little, but I soon wake up to see the doctor.
"Ugh, where am I?" I said, tired a bit.
"Not to worry, you're in good hands." The doctor said, before raising my hands, he then said. "My hands!" I knew what he meant, but I didn't know who he is, eventually, he introduced himself as the village doctor, also the barber, veterinarian, dentist, and witchfinder which he showed me as he shook some staff which had a red dust coming out of it, I coughed as the red dust caught in my nose.
And get this, his professional opinion; I need a wash, a blowout and a little trim around the hindquarters.
"Uh..." I said, very confused.
"That's my professional barber opinion, but, putting on my doctor's hat, I think we need to do a few tests... Alright, reflexes." He raised a hammer like object and gently tapped it on my knee, which caused me to slap my paws on the doctor's face, which he didn't mind, all he said was. "Cat like, now, temperatures." He turned me around and said. "Now lift your tail and relax." At this point I was done.
I grabbed the thermometer and put it back in the doctor's pocket.
"Trust me, I run hot, yup." I said, smirking confidently.
"Then how about the latest modern medical technology... Leeches! To draw out the evil humors!" He gently smacked the leech and hissed. "Suit yourself, more for me." The doctor said as he dropped the leech into his body.
"Uh, listen doctor, thanks for everything, you know, I'm feeling great, strong, like a bull! you know?" I said, putting back on my cape.
"Now, do you know a good place to get some gazpacho?" I ask, putting back on my belt.
"Please, this is serious." The doctor said.
"What is it?" I say, looking at the doctor, waiting for him to say this serious thing.
"Puss... How do I say this." He said, gently putting his hand on my shoulder, before grabbing a candle and saying. "You died." then he blew out the candle, I played along by saying. "Doctor... Please..."
Then my confidence come back and I said. "Relax! I am Puss In Boots, I laugh at death! Ha! Ha! Ha! You see, anyway, I am a cat, I have nine lives." I say, putting back on my boots, unaware how many times I died.
"And how many times have you died already?" The doctor said, good thing, I am kind of a math guy, so I counted my deaths, and it was 8. "Um... Eight." The doctor was in disbelief.
"Puss, you are down to your last live..." I heard that God forsaken words enter my ears... Then I heard these voices, telling me bad things, they were muffling all of the noises around me, but my trance ended by the doctor yelling "Gato!"
"Huh?! Wha? Sorry, just had a trance..." I said, now sounding depressed.
"I know it's hard, but I know someone who can take care of you." The doctor said reassuringly.
"Look, I'm ok, I'll just um... F-Fight for my life, yea." I say, nervously.
"Alright, stay safe Gato." The doctor said as I exited the vet, once I did, I ran to a tree, went behind it and started crying.
"You fucking idiot! Why did you burn through your damn lives, now you're on your last one... YOU FUCKING IDIOT!" I thought to myself, curling up in a ball...
