Took Dorian Grey (Dorky Fish), Twitch, & Ophelia Rose to the vet.

Ophelia only bit me 3x. I'm proud of her, she didn't bite anyone else. (Good thing I'm already on anti-biotics for when Bea bit me
)

Twitch shook from tip of the nose to tip of the tail.

Dorky Fish "meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow" the whole time.


To get Dorky Fish & Ophelia into the carrier, I put canned food in there, then once I had Dorky, Ophelia, PJ, Punky, & Molly (Squishy was trying to cram in there, too) in the carrier, I hauled out the ones I didn't need to get to the vet.
It only took me 20 mins to get them.


Twitch got weighed first, she was 9 lb 6 oz last time, she's an even 9 lbs now.

Ophelia Rose isn't even 7 lbs!
She was like 6 lbs 9 oz or something along those lines, not quite 7 lbs. Tiny little lady, with a big attitude.

Dorky Fish....when I got him at 10 months of age, he was not even 4 lbs. That was 3 years ago. He is now almost 10 lbs!
It's not fat, either. He ideally should be 9-10 lbs, so he is good. He was 8 1/2 lbs a year ago at his annual exam, so its not like he gained 6 lbs in a year, either.

I love vet trips - they're always such an adventure


Good to see everyone is doing well!

Wow! What an ordeal!


I've never taken more than 1 cat to the vet at one time, nor do I want to!


Abby is almost 10 years old. I admit I've been lax taking her to the vet and she hasn't been since she was 3 or 4 years old. She didn't like it at all! So was so scared and upset, and it was such an ordeal for me to try and get her into the carrier. Once I get back to work though she's going! She's been pretty healthy and she still seems to be with the exception of her weight. But I want to avoid putting her through what Chynna has been through.

The one with Dorky & Ophelia is on wheels.
Twitch had to go seperately, she only gets along with Lily.

Riley's a big boy under all the hair!


I always find it funny to know what some LH cats weigh...I'd swear Bea weighs like 20 lbs but she's only 15.
