Jul. 21st, 2004 08:05 amFirst, I've had days like this.
Mild trauma for the kitty yesterday -- just as he was ramping up to run laps and chase things, we forced him into the cat carrier and the car. Yowls proceeded from the unhappiest cat in the world as we drove to the V-E-T.
The visit itself was okay (unlike here, although the temperature was indeed taken) -- he mainly needed an inoculation. The vet complimented his coat, although I don't think Galen was in any mood to appreciate it.
He's now 12 pounds, 10 ounces. (Sheesh. Our previous cat seldom cleared five pounds.) The vet suggested weaning him away from the wet food, saying that it's better long-term for his teeth. I hadn't heard that before. I suppose we'll try it, although Galen likes having his teeth brushed, thanks to the poultry-flavored toothpaste. We usually brush his teeth after we clip his toenails...
Ah well. Back to work.
