The Kat(e) Report

Yesterday I took the cats in for their overdue shots. Kat (left) got his belly shaved because of matting. Kat is also apparently nearsighted; when you toss treats more than 3 feet from him without any sonic cues, he can't find them. His retinas are OK...he's a young cat. He's just either lazy or near sighted. He also had some nasty tartar buildup + gingivitis, which the vet removed, and now I have to give him pills to try to clear it up. Kate was absolutely fine, as always. The surprising thing was that she was 9.8 pounds! Kat is 11.2 pounds, but looks much bigger due to his extra hair. Both of them are "a little chubby" according to the vet, but not too bad.

They both still have fleas, but not as bad. In another week I can give them the Advantage® and hopefully be done with it. With the colder weather, the fleas may be dying off, and the basement/bedrooms have been off-limits for two weeks now. Once I get the Advantage® on them, I'm hoping to reopen the house for business.
