Awwww.
Your kitty’s coloring is so pretty. It looks like a grey tabby got sparkled by sunbeams and those parts of her turned golden and tawny.

How is kitty healing up?

She is doing well, thanks. My wife took her to the vet this week and the doctor said she is nice and she didn’t get any loose stitch.
The problem is that is almost impossible to keep her quiet. She learnt how to open the door of the bedroom/confinement cell and managed to escape to jump and run everywhere. We cannot keep the door locked, as it would turn the room into a sauna. So my wife made a contraption with string to prevent the door from opening and still leave a gap for fresh air.
The doctor said she will have the stitches removed next week, but to avoid accidents when she is doing her personal hygiene, she will still have to wear the infamous bathing suit.
Thank you. She is cute, yet fierce as a jaguar.

our sweet ChiliDogCat has been feeling punk of late and went to visit the nice doctor. Chili is 14 years old and never has been sick. her only trips to the vet have been for routine immunizations. doc needed a blood draw and thought it would be best to “medicate” her some and come back today. 6 am this morning, gave her a gabopenten in some wet food and two hours later, she was unsteady but alert and the blood draw had to be scrapped because she was still too feisty to allow it.
so now she is home, sluggish and pissed off, sleeping under the bar in a sunbeam.
i hate that we will have to do this again next week. drugging our kitty feels so wrong, but the tests have to be done.
whaddaya gonna do?

Gotta drug both fuzzy boys when the vet needs blood. They don’t typically hurt the techs, but also don’t hold still. The youngest hasn’t needed a blood draw yet but given the way she reacts to nail trimming unless I catch her when she is sleepy, she too will need some chemistry. More for the safety of the techs in her case. Girl is feisty

Vets need to get some sort of hammock system whereby the cat is immobilized in the main part – the legs can still move – so that testing can happen quickly and without medication. It would hamper the dignity for a bit, but cats can rebound from that quicker than from drugs.

It’s raining again, so we are sheltering in the allotment shed.
He has his own beach-towel, but that doesn’t stop him getting the arse.
He blames me, obv., for not turning the sky-water off.

I just went through this with Other Cat, who freaks the hell out on vet day peeing and pooping herself in the carrier on the way there, on the way home, or both. Vet gave her gabapentin for the first time, and it worked great, though the sedative effect peaked well after the appointment time. She spent the rest of the day sleeping it off, only getting up a few times to get a drink of water and to contemplate the deeper meanings of the depths of the water bowl. She was back to normal the next day.

Was out doing work in the front yard and decided to take the buck out to enjoy the weather. He beat a path to the side of the house, would run back to check on me, then back to the side of the house. After he did this a few times I decided to check on him.
Turns out he wanted me to open the gate to let him go to the backyard. He can fit through the pickets, but he knows he’s not supposed to. Good bunny!

I mentioned we are fostering a stray. Here she is relaxing this morning on Mr.L’s lap:
We’ve gotten her into the adoption system, soon (hopefully) to be spayed, but the shelter is full right now so she gets to stay with us.
