George was assaulted by our neighborhood bully cat over the weekend..

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?”

Just got these little boys- 6 weeks old! Found outside with no mom in sight :( they have been doing great! Although, they had no idea what to make of this visit lol

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 wasn’t using the litter box. Found out he doesn’t like scented litter…

The 2 pics is her staring at the door the vet tech walked out of lol. She also refused to stay on the table so I had to hold her most of the time we were there. But sadly for her she had to stay with them for part of the day. Poor girl has a UTI.

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!

Kiki had to go to the vet today and was not thrilled with being in her carrier. So we let her out for a minute while the dog was in the treatment room. It cost me a churu but she's willing to snuggle while we wait

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

"Mama, why are we here?.... Mama, I am brave girl, but can you hold my paw anyway, please?"

She was so happy to be rescued she didn’t even care about being poked and prodded

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.

My littles have different levels of vet fear. Emma (black) is Mia's mom. Lost her a year ago. Mia is now about 19. Second pic is Mia, at home, much happier.

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