Life At K & L's

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

I figured you've been extremely busy and yup, I was right!

16 & 18 teeth removed?!?!? Makes you wonder just how many teeth they have to begin with. Poor kitties.

And poor little Blaze. He does look scared in that pic, but, if you remember Jonza's Fister's stories, it seemed everytime Fister spent time at the vet or the pension, he was much more relaxed, calm and talkative once he got back home again. Hopefully the same will be true with Blaze.

So cute about Scooter how he waits for his diaper. So glad he's able to get out and about and is mingling well with the others.

Good luck with all the rest of them. I can't imagine having to take.....21 is it now?....cats to the vet - whew!

Thanks everyone! Answers to some of the questions:

(Q)Are you so experienced that you don't have to quell your heart-pounding feelings as you move in to capture, just in case the cat can sense them?

(A)This happened so fast I didn’t even have time to think about it. I knew Blaze needed to go to the vet since I noticed some drooling on his chin and figured he was having teeth problems like the others. When I saw him near the carrier I just figured it’s now or never. He had his back to me so I grabbed, tossed, and shut the door. After it was over with I was shaky!

(Q) Do you have a vet who is very experienced with ferals?

(A) Our vets are WONDERFUL. I can’t say enough about them. They work with us on everything, including all the park cats. We never have to make an appointment. They just let us drop-off at our convenience. We even got them to start ear-tipping for us. Blaze is in GOOD hands.

(Q) I hope your son-in-law is OK.

(A) He went to the ER last week, and believe me something had to be wrong since we can never get him to go to a Dr. He was having severe chest pains. They admitted him for a possible heart attack because he was having an irregular heart beat. He is out now, but has a follow-up with the cardiologist because a test came back that something is not functioning properly. So we were picking up after school and babysitting while my daughter stayed at the hospital, all very nerve wracking.

(Q) I can't imagine having to take.....21 is it now?....cats to the vet - whew!

(A) Well it’s 25 now and I’m losing count! Not only is it difficult time wise for 25, the expensive is breaking the ole credit cards. Bear & Bailey alone was $950! No telling what Blaze will run, and we still have several to go.

Thanks you all for missing me. It’s hard to get on PT from work (my boss is away for a bit right now so I snuck on), and with home life being so chaotic, I haven’t had much time there either. I will try and catch up soon!
