Hey everybody!
I'm just about ready to take Boomer is for his physical and shots. I hope he gets a clean bill of health! Last time he weighed 13 lbs or so i think, so we'll see how much my plush little prince weighs after a year of living with me

P.S. Wish me luck in sneaking him to and from my car without anyone in my building seeing us! I claim that he is a 4 legged extremely large and hairy goldfish, but I think if they see him (out of water

) they might suspect that I'm breaking that whole "no-cats" rule.

we're back

Boomer weighs in at a whopping (not) 13lbs 2 ounces! He was given a clean bill of health, but we were told that he may need his teeth cleaned next year because there is a little bit of tartar build up

Oh well, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it

Boomer is very happy to be home, but keeps coming over and getting back in his carrier

Does he want to go again??

He was a very good boy for the vet and only howled once when I let go of him so we could weigh him

The rest of the time he had his front paws up on my chest and his nose hidden under the hood of my hoodie

Good Job Boomer!

Good boy, Boomer!

Missy: A thought -- what about transporting him in a small aquarium? (Not a good thought perhaps, but it does kind of keep the big goldfish theme going...????

Good boy Boomer! Glad to hear you got a clean bill of health.

Good boy Boomer!! Glad all is well. Missy - do you guys have the tartar control Pounce treats?? I think they are Pounce anyway. I have seen them on the shelves - might be worth a try. I don't really understand why I keep reading about teeth cleaning - none of our cats have ever had this. Is it a relatively new procedure?? All of our cats have lived to ripe old ages and have been to the vets regularly. Maybe because they only ate dry food??
