Old Coat

It's Twozday!

There was a downturn in our temperatures.

My old winter coat became the purrfect place for Manny and Chili Bruce to nap upon.

Luckily, the sunshine was bright, which added an additional layer of warmth on their dark fur in the morning.

Da Boyz return to the veterinarian on Wednesday, as a check up on their dentals.

The Hubby and I have been diligent about their meds, despite my one time NOT squirting the liquid into a yap but rather all over fur and The Hubby's shirt.

They both appear to be recovering nicely, thank goodness.

Wednesday Why

Why? Oh Why?

Do I tend to find wet and awful 'presents' from the kitties

while in my stocking feet?

Some cat...see picture below but I won't name names...

apparently has been losing her lunch

in the early morning hours.

Enough for a veterinarian visit this Thursday afternoon...

Shhh...be very quiet and don't say a word!

"WHATTT!!!  Oh, heck NO!!!"

Yes, my little flower...

You and I are visiting a holistic veterinarian recommended HIGHLY by 

cat friends.

Honestly, you are past due for a check-up, my black-and-white-and-pink cutie!

Chuck's Check-up

It wasn't so bad, was it Chuck?

Saturday, The Hubby scooped up Chuck and deposited him in the PTU (Personnel Transport Unit) and off we went for a 3-month check-up with the echo-cardiogram veterinarian.  She said his blood pressure was 'good' and his heart sounds were the same as last visit.  Loaded with script refills, we were back home in no time.  Chuck sang the song of his people the entire trip there, but was more subdued and quiet on the way home.  Angel only hissed at Chuck for 24 hours after, before realizing that he, in fact, was her brother, and not some replicant cat that smelled of the nice vet's perfume. Note: The Hubby and I have tried many different ways to prevent the 'after vet visit aggression' but nothing has worked.  Leave a comment if you've had luck with wiping the cats down with towels or socks before the visit, then doing some sort of scent exchange afterward, or any other thing that works for you...please!

Cold as ice

Although November has been relatively mild here in Michigan, some night temps are below freezing. In the warmer weather, I use a water bowl for Patty and Sweetie; in the cold, I fill a 6-pack cooler with a gallon of water (the belief is that deeper water takes longer to freeze).  Here is a photo of the water bowl, and the ice cube that formed a couple of days ago.  Both cats have grown thick winter fur.
