Oh, poor Marius! He is so adorable in the sink. It's too bad he was so sick in the picture. Did the vet ever give you a reason why he got so sick from his shots? That must be highly unusual, but I'm glad you haven't taken him back.

He is so pure white!

Ohhh, Karen.....I shuddered when reading this because I had a cat named Bandit some years ago (pre-ritzy)(of course another tuxedo) who became VIOLENTLY ill after coming home from the shots - found out from another vet that she had received too much of the medication and was essentially poisoned from overdose.......I never went back to that vet again and almost lost that kitty in the process...she was just so sick, and you feel so helpless...after about 2-3 days she started to come around and lived another 10 years with us.

Ritzy is always a little sluggish and sleepy for the remaining day after her shots and I often wonder how important these really are since she is never allowed outside.
