Cats
Well after two days with us (and 83 pictures already!) Ash continues to settle in and show us what a fantastic boy he is. On Sunday I took him to the animal hospital to give our vet his paperwork. He was registered as my new kitty Ash (no name change yet), and had a quick check-up. He was given his second booster shot, weighed (1.59kg) and got his sharp little talons trimmed. He was fine for the jag but became a wiggly little worm for his nail trimming...how can he hate that so young - lol!!! The vet noticed he was missing some patches of fur on his ears and head and thought he might have ringworm but luckily nothing showed up under the black light. He sent away a culture of some fur but we won't know anything for two weeks. He gave me a little ointment to put on the patches twice a day and hopefully that will help clear it up. He said whoever performed his neuter did a great job as his incision was barely visible! Then he pronounced him to be in good health (which I knew he would be because Chrystal had cared for him so well!) and sent us on our way.
Here he is back at the house obviously traumatized by the whole experience - LOL!
This guy is such a lovebug! He is so happy, he purrs and does happy paws continuously! When Robert was having a little visit with Ash before bed last night he came out of his room and said "I think we've got a winner there"
Whenever I go into his room the same scene plays out. Usually he is sitting up on the bed and he meows at me with his tiny but insistent meow to let me know he is not happy that I left him but will of course forgive me. I come over to the bed and he flops down for some loving.
Then he jumps down to have some food, because nobody likes to eat alone, then back on the bed for more snuggles.
Here he is supervising my blog visits :-)
He reminds me a little of my sweet Maxie, who's temperament was just so happy and gentle right from the get-go!
- Happy 1st Birthday Jimmy!!!
It is Jimmy’s first birthday today (or as near as I can figure after consulting with Chrystal), he is a mancat now and I wanted to share a little with all of you about just what a fantastic cat he is! As most of you know, Robert and I adopted...
- Update On Jimmy With Pictures!
I spoke with the vet who is treating Jimmy on Friday and got the all clear regarding the ringworm culture...it was negative after three weeks...Yippee!!! So we were able to take off his cone that night. We washed...
- Tuxedo Tuesday
The nice folks over at the New Tuxedo Gang Hideout posted Ben’s picture today on their blog and welcomed him into their club. In light of this, Ben thought I should write a little about how he came to live with us… We adopted Ben from Toronto Animal...
- Meet Casper
This is Casper aka Prince Casper, Casp, Casperator, Casperitis, Snow Cat, Polar Cat. I don’t even know how to start to describe Casper, he is such a great guy. Technically I suppose he is a special needs cat because he is deaf, but aside from the fact...
- A New Start For Poppy
Little Poppy was just 14 weeks old when she was signed over to the Gosport Town Branch of Cats Protection. Her owner couldn’t cope with looking after Poppy or her mum, four-year-old Josie. Poppy was tiny – she was taken straight to the vets for a...
