    Do Ya Think He Needs A New Carrier?

    I had to take Duke to the vet the other day because his ear was bothering him. So, I decided to take Doogie along because his nails needed trimming. I got out my fairly new cat carrier. I had used this one with my Peresian. Boy, did we both get a rude awakening! I had been debating whether or not to put the litter box in with him. Had I done that, he would have been up to the roof. I have got to invest in a bigger one. He wasn't cramped enough to where he couldn't move but there sure wasn't any to spare, either. And he was heavy! He weighed 19 pounds(closer to 20) and he's lost a little since he got with me. I call him hernia cat because when you go to pick him up, he just flops and you get a hernia when you pick him up.


    One of him in Duke's bed. Rest can be seen in other general.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.

    In my heart you'll forever be.

    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    Oh Doogie! You just get cuter and cutrer! What did mom subject you to? I think she shold take you shopping ASAP for a new carrier. Maybe something in a nice shade to complement your orange and white fur!

    LOL Yes, I think he might need a small to medium dog sized carrier. All 4 of my boys are also large so I can't buy the cute little cat carriers either.

    LOL!!! I would say a new carrier is in order! What a great picture of him in Duke's bed. Doogie is so handsome and looks so happy in his new home. I would love to get a hernia from that boy!

    A new carrier might be in order...

    When I take all three in to the vet, I use one of my larger carriers--for dogs up to 25 lbs. I put Callie and Whisper in one, and Shadow in a normal cat carrier. Now, that's fun trying to lug around.

    Thank you CatNapper for the beautiful siggy!

    Aww, I hope Doogie doesn't suffer from claustrophobia! I sympathise with you about the weight. My mum's cat is just over 20 lbs and I have to use two hands when I carry him in to the vet. We had to buy an especially big carrier for him too, and to think that when I brought his litter home from their first vet visit, all four were in a normal sized carrier with space for at least three more!

    Doogie,does look,like he copuld use a little space! And theFound Cats,all do that,to me,they either become dead weight,or sit,in one corner,so that the carrier,is unbalanced!

    He's lost weight since he got here. I'll have to take him shopping at Petco and let him pick out what kind of carrier he wants. Maybe I can get one of those fancy cloth ones. That would be much easier to carry.

    What???


    It's just a 20 pound cat, in a 5 pound carrier.



    You know you need a new carrier when your fur sticks out one end....
