Poor thing had a dislocated tail (which has since *completely* healed) but babies need their sleep!

he gets to watch TV

My lil man was seeing sounds but atleast he was able to relax. Poor baby gets very stressed being handled by anyone but me & a select few he deems worthy

He was diagnosed with a sore throat, and got a shot for it.

The tech smiled at the kittens and said “I’ll let you all get out and explore, then we’ll need to get you all weighed!”

They explored. One by one they all grouped back together. Vet tech returned and was like “not like that…”

I took these pictures; the clinic posted them on their photo frame in the lobby.

The kittens (all boys, now almost a year old) are: Romano, Joey, PipSqueak, and Master Chief Petty Officer K-10.

Romano is a whole different color/pattern. Joey, Pip, and Chief are gray-on-gray tabby. Pip is lighter. Joey and Chief are nearly indistinguishable from each other. Chief’s M-stripes actually meet between his ears, making a halo. I’m obviously the most hilarious person I know.

We still refer to them as “lintballs”. As in: “Oh no, the dryer lint is evolving,” “damn dust kitties,” (while picking up a wad of lint out of the trash) “who threw away a kitten?”

I know I’ve been posting Huxley elsewhere, but I can’t stop thinking about him.

Huxley is a FIGHTER. He held off and fought back a coyote long enough for me to find him and scare it off. The coyote had his HEAD in its mouth, but Huxley avoided having his skull crushed by some miracle.

His fight isn’t over. It’s just begun. The radiologist happened to find what’s almost definitely lung cancer. I know he’ll make it through it all - and I’ll be there with him for it all, always.

This cat was distributed to me about two months ago, well really about a year ago, but became a permanent resident just recently. (He and his one sibling were born under my house a week before I had a stroke, so long story). Anyway, a few days ago, he bolted out the door and got into a fight with his suspected sibling, who I’ve been recently trying to trap to make sure someone also TNRd them. He then sprinted back up the stairs and strolled in the house like nothing had just happened. I noticed the bite marks on a hind leg the next day as I examined him more closely as he seemed to be sore that night and didn’t want picked up.

Well, this morning when I got up, he would not put weight on that leg and was limping and hopping. After an extremely busy day of human appointments, I managed to find an urgent care vet that could see him this evening. They found the puncture wounds and said it had some kind of infection and foreign matter in it so it was good I brought him in while it was still local. Thankfully, his x-ray looked good. I’m glad I didn’t wait for it to potentially heal or get worse and him need even more painful and expensive care, though. Many hundreds of dollars later, he is released to go home on antibiotics and pain meds.

If you have any recommendations for the soft pillow collars, I would love them as I am hurting $$$$ as pet insurance hasn’t even had the chance to be approved and waiting period finished. I don’t want to buy one that doesn’t work. This jailbird Houdini has already managed to get the flexible cone off once twice!

This was their first vet visit, before she turned into a little butterball. Her name is Maddie, after Daredevil! Her sister is sighted, she is named Foggie.

Took my rescue cat to the vet for the first time. He did great and was so interested in what was happening behind the scenes.

Picture was taken a little over a year ago!
She ate a piece of balloon string that she ended up throwing up right before the vet trip lol

He screamed the whole way to the vet, the whole time he was there, and the entire way home. My ears are still ringing. 🤦‍♀️
