Code for Cat


Good grief, we were sitting here talking kind of in code hoping to not upset the cat! Sshh- he goes today for his annual check-up, boosters and whatever else is necessary per the vet. Actually, so far we have been lucky - he doesn't mind the visits but maybe today he'll have caught on.
Update:So $96.00 later, we were told we have a healthy cat- he weighs 5.6kg so a tad over 12 lb. At the last "well baby clinic", the vet said I don't want to see him coming in here at 12 lb. Phew, just a little bit over- somewhat like being a little bit pregnant! He's so laid back that he literally wants to roll on his side and "rest". The vet picks him up (to check his abdomen) and the cat flops down again. I think she was worried he had a neurological disease. It was pretty funny to us. I don't really thinks she believed us so demonstrated our "pork loin" routine - I hold the cat upside down in my arms and he stretches all 4 - looks like he'd been hit by a truck. Then I turn him over and he just lays there- it's pretty funny- wish I could find my pic to scan.

Anyway, no shots today - in Nov. he's due - sshh!

Happy to hear your healthy and well.
