I promise to not take so long in-between updates.

The kitties used to do okay with going to the vet but not anymore. Haggis gets very fearful-and he is a people cat, always friendly and curious-but he gets all slinky and nervous now.

Hamish develops "Haggis amnesia" and it takes 3 days for him to recover from a trip to the vet-but it's Haggis who suffers. Hamish hisses and stalks Haggis-and growls whenever he is in sight.

Haggis gets home and is fine-relieved. Then, he wants to make friends with Hamish (his brother, who he has lived with since Day One!) who has no interest in it. I have to watch that they don't fight. Haggis gets sad and confused about the whole thing. This is why I am hesitant at bringing them in. My vet wants to do a blood test on Hamish at least to see how the meds are working for the hyper-thyroidism. I told him he's gained weight and is fine...but that doesn't seem to cut it anymore. He wants to see Hamish at least. So, we'll see.

Haggis appreciates your thoughts and prayers and I want to thank you all again for your kind words as well. All the best to you and your kitties!
