Brave and Mancatly

I will have to be very brave and mancatly today because I am going to the v-e-t to get my dental work done. Mum says they will have to pull my remaining upper canine. And this means travelling in the PTU, and being in an office that smells of other kittehs and doggehs.

ETA: 10 am - Percy was fussy in the car but very good once we got to the v-e-t's office. I'll hear more when he's finished his dental work.

1:46 pm - Just got a call from the v-e-t, and Percy is doing great! And, even better, he didn't have to lose any teeth! He just got a really good cleaning. Also, they tested his bloodwork and everything is very good.

5:20 pm - Home now from the v-e-t. All the vet techs and even our v-e-t were impressed with Percy's mancatliness! He's tucked himself under the bed as he's a bit weirded out, but I'm sure he'll come out for some food soon. Thanks for all the purrs! :) - Percy's mum

We had a visit today from the V-E-T.

This is me chilling out after our visit from the V-E-T. She came to give us our yearly checkup. Good news is, I'm a very mancatly cat, weighing in at 17lbs. And she says I don't need to worry about my weight. Not so good news is that I have to have dental work, and my top canine toof out. It is my last upper canine toof because the other one was pulled when I came to the shelter. I'm a bit sad about it, as then I won't be quite as fierce looking.


Pandora and Zowie did well too, though they might also have to get dental cleanings. The V-E-T recommended Hills t/d dry to use as treats to help all our teef get cleaner. Mum is hoping that will work so that she won't have to spend a lot of green papers on dental cleanings.

We also all got vaccinations - ouch! But we are healthy. Mum is going to arrange my toof pulling and cleaning with the V-E-T soon. She hopes it won't cost too many green papers.

(For those wondering, our v-e-t is a housecall v-e-t, and she has a website: VetsToGo )

Pandora's Toof

A lot of times in photos, Pandora looks a bit cranky. But she isn't really... when she had her dental work last year (before I joined the family), she had to have one of her upper canine teef pulled. So her lower toof catches on her lip and gives her odd expressions. I have the same trouble because I had dental work when I got to the shelter and I am missing a toof too!
