By the time 4:15 rolled around I was excited about picking up Spencer and Katie.
I get to the vet only for them to tell me that they left a message on my answering machine at home to tell me that they want to keep the kittens over night because the male is still very loopy. Well, since I was at work I didn't get the message! Not that it would have made much of a difference because I couldn't change my Handi Transit destination return trip on such short notice to get home anyway.
I did get to see them again. I didn't hold them because they only had surgery after lunch and I didn't want to hurt them.
I'm sure they thought I was crazy, but before I went to see them I told the girls that I've never had a boy kitty and since he was neutered, how would I tell them apart!
Apparently the boy is larger.
I went and scritched them through the bars. Katie was sticking her little legs out the bars trying to catch my fingers and play, and she was rubbing up against the bars and purring.
Spencer was not a happy boy! He was hissing and being very vocal. Apparently he is usually the more affectionate of the 2 kittens. But you could see in his eyes that he was very stoned from the Ketamine that they had given him.
I can't get there to pick them up until Saturday morning now. Trying to get there on Friday after work when they close earlier, is just too difficulty. And I would have to take a taxi again because it's too late to change my return destination with Handi Transit to go to the vets tomorrow anyway.
In the meantime I stopped at Pet Value and spent nearly $300.00 on STUFF!
Kitty bed
Cat tree (I'm going Saturday afternoon to pick it up. They are assembling it for me).
Lots of extra toys including cat nip bananas for all 3 kitties!
Cat nip
Puppy wee wee pads.
Petmate water filters.
And after all that I forgot to pick up an extra cat carrier. But I'll bring them both home in 1 carrier and get another at a later date.
So I have to clean my bathroom this evening and get it ready for 2 occupants
Abby gets 2 more nights of just me and her!
I'm going to let Abby use the cat bed in the meantime to get her scent on it.
I got to see the Mommy cat. She's stunning. I thought she was black, but she's actually a dark smokey grey colour with gorgeous green eyes!
She's semi feral and needs a one cat home with one-to-one loving/attention. And poor her, when she heard Spencer hissing and meowling, she started to hiss and growl! Guess she no longer remembers her little boy!

I know I'm looking foward to pictures of these sweet new kitties!! Sounds like they are going to love all of their new goodies you got for them too!
I was very relieved to find out it was just a slight delay.
Now you'll probably just being going crazy waiting!
. And the shopping, yes, it is soooooo fun.
Enjoy your new kittens and hope Abby does too and good idea about having Abby sleep on the new bed
