Yes, Scratch (remember he's the SHY one) hissed at him. 8-Bit just looked at him and tried to play.Originally Posted by gemlady
Hope the vet visit goes well.
Have Bit and Scratch seen or smelled him, yet?
Wouldn't the vet scan first to see if there's a chip? Mind you, my vet didn't but we'd had the boys since they were little bubs.Originally Posted by Renovia
he's so cute!!!!
ps. about the microchip. .. .what would happen if the owners had put a microchip in and the breeder already had and didn't tell anyone?
Not if the people who brought him in said they got him from a breeder. I think that vets only scan if you ask.Originally Posted by pushylady

Dr Claw is a handsome fellow. I hope you get to the bottom of his hair pulling.
I'm sure that some one is going to correct me, but he is silver and light brown.Originally Posted by white cat lover
Dr. Claw does not look anything like I imagined! What color is he?
I thought all Tonks were light brown/dark brown.Originally Posted by lookingglass

With him being a Tonk I'm sure that there are formal names for such things, but I have no idea what they are.
He's a sweetie too!

Thank you! I knew that a TCS member would come along and help me out!Originally Posted by laureen227
