Yet another Krazy Kitten update!
I probably wouldn't have bothered mentioning this latest vet visit, but I ended up with a picture so funny, I had to share it.
I wasn't able to take them down for their latest rounds of shots, so I had to talk my dad into it. He grumbled and griped, because that's pretty much how my dad communicates these days unless you're going fishing with him, but he eventually agreed.
Apparently the vets decided to do a full on sweep of tests again. All kinds of invasive stuff. One of the kittens, Phuzz, had some slight redness around her eyes, so they ended up swabbing ointment onto all three of the kittens. They apparently didn't enjoy that too much. Hated the flea medicine even worse.
I get the update via text, and then...
this picture...
First thing I said was "what did you do to my cats", cuz...damn, they look perturbed.
Pete only looks slightly bothered, because he's a pretty chill cat overall. Phuzz looks like she wants to kill someone slowly. And poor old Polydot, she looks like she's in teetotal shock. They recovered quickly after they got home, and were let out of the cage. But that picture, it's just too good not to share.

Great story and great picture. Their bewilderment is wonderfully captured.
Hey, they're still up for adoption if you want one.
As you can see she is not into sharing..lol!
I'll trade the one on the left for an iMac!Hey, they're still up for adoption if you want one.

DEAL! I'll meet you up in Kentucky, and we'll make the swap there.

Any further updates on their life stories? Has the issue of future demographics been addressed yet? This serial is way better than a soap opera…...
Nothing too exciting. The most interesting thing is that they've come down to the breezeway to live, since they ended up being chased out of the little house by a groundhog a couple weeks back. It feels like a NatGeo nature documentary in my back yard sometimes, I swear.
And concerning future demographics, Caps goes to the vet this Friday for her spaying. The kittens? Probably about a month or two from now, depending.
And so you know, it has now been done. Caps has been spayed, and is now sitting just behind me in her cat carrier, where I have to keep her until 9 tonight.
There are some mournful sounds coming out of that cage...
Hm. Thank you for the thoughtful update. Well, yes, I can imagine…..mournful sounds, indeed.
Actually, on that topic take a look at the two photographs - taken by his owner - of a cat named Milo on his return from a trip to the vet's for the purposes of population control. Google 'Milo, cat, vet' or any combination of those words for two of the funniest photographs I have seen on this topic.
However, you have done very well and it is all for the best; for the best, if you don't wish to inundated with unwanted kittens, that is…..and we can overdo the anthropomorphic stuff. Better prevention than drowning….
I know it. I've now got more cats than I know what to do with.
Let me tell you about what happened yesterday. I figured I'd take the kittens into the house to see how they act. Get them used to being indoors, in case someone decides to pick one up. I've only done this once before, when I caught them all panting from the heat, and I popped them in the spare bedroom to sit in the air conditioning for a little bit. Then, all they did was sleep until I carried them back out.
I knew they were house trained, since I keep a cat pan in the garage, and they use it pretty frequently, despite the fact they have the whole yard at their disposal. I wasn't worried. So I throw them upstairs, gave them a toy to play with, and went to go watch a movie for an hour or so.
It wasn't until later that I realized I made a huge tactical error. Though they're trained, I didn't give them a cat pan to use. They had to find somewhere else to go. And they did.
My bed.
Oh no! That's terrible, and I know how that is from experience.I know it. I've now got more cats than I know what to do with.

On a slightly more positive topic, I think it should be a rule that every time you make a post in this thread, that you attach a new photo of them to it.

You have my sympathy. Genuinely.
But - yes, reading your post, I am smothering a laugh, a laugh that - needless to say - would be completely wiped from my face were something similar to happen to me.
However, for a genuine laugh, Google Milo's story; the two pictures - taken with superb timing by the cat's owner - are priceless.

Here you go. This was taken earlier this month, while they were still staying up in the little house.

All together now………'Aaaawwwwww….'
How charming and (almost) utterly irresistible.
Yeah, it's one of those funny when it's not you sorta things.
I spent a couple of hours acting like an extra in a documentary about OCD patients. I'm lucky they didn't pee. So damn lucky. But that little pile...and that smell...oh damn. OH DAMN! I threw all the windows open upstairs, set up 4 box fan in a row to make a wind tunnel, and used a full bottle of Febreze to get rid of that smell.
...and it still lingered.
Oh, and I'll look up the Milo story right fast.
Looked up Milo, and...there's a bunch of cats named Milo that went to the vet. Is it the cat who got a kidney transplant?
No. He is the six month old cat who had his testicles removed after a visit to the vet. He is British, and so is his owner, and so, I suspect, as the sources where you can find this story. Metro and the Daily Mail (a rag, yes, I know) among other sources feature it.
'Milo, vet, snip, testicles, losing his bits' or some combination thereof, should get him. On the topic of cats and beds, Milo had been placed on his owner's bed, and slept solidly for an hour or so, still under the anaesthetic, until he came around. The pictures show him on his owner's bed, and the owner - with superb timing - captured the moment when he came around. Well worth seeing.
OH GOD! YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND! THAT POOR CAT!
Okay, I'll admit. I laughed. That was pretty good.
