Well, Oliver is back in his room, resting his voice.
I took him to the vet for his checkup and he's perfect! They all fell in love with him...I guess they are partial to these blackie boys.He was good...but he didn't enjoy being on the table, he much prefered the floor. He was a little scared and I'm sure tired from the constant meowing for the 10 minute car ride. The vet appointment went as follows:
*Got there and placed his port-o-prision on the counter. The front office cat came over to investigate and Oliver liked him! They rubbed noses and office cat walked away. (A gorgeous brown Maine Coone)
*Got into a room and got him wieghed (12.5 lbs) and temp taken (in the ear!! Great huh?).
*The vet called the Humane Society because they never gave me any health records...I assumed they didn't have any. The visit and check up were free!
*I decided to get Soft Paws....due to the cuts he's given me over the last few days and to get him used to them. They had to do it for me, I need help and to see it one time before we attempt it at home. He was a trooper...he HATED being on the table, so they held him tight and pushed his head under the table....he actually began to PURR after that!
*Got him a new collar, a nice blue bandana pattern. We'll be able to know who's who now...blue nails AND a blue collar.
This vet is really, really great. It was so quiet in there and they are so knowledgable. They told me to keep the cats separated and in a week introduce ONE at a time. (Basie will be first) Prior to that, she said that they need to establish eye contact, but safely. So, I'm thinking of taking him outside on the balcony and having David take three in our bedroom and letting them stare at eachother one at a time through our slider.
Anyway....here are some pictures of him in his new collar, being cute and showing off those new nails!
