I just finished putting in a new section called
Cat Fancy in the
shop. It's got designs for those of us who are Cat Mommies & Daddies, who feed kitties, & those who breed sweetie-babies. There are nine designs in the section and I hope someone would like to give some of them a home! I particularly like how this one looks...
Brogli, Lane, Weaver, Alexander Animal Hospital called today to remind me that it's time for kitty vaccines (eeep!!!! four times... eeeeep!!). This is the vet for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Kitty Horde. I used this vet starting in the early '90s. They kick butt and take names. No, really. I'll tell you why. Back in the early '90s I knew someone who had a slew of cats, two of whom were unspayed females. Unfortunately she also had unneutered males in the house. ::sigh:: She couldn't afford to have them broken (hey! everything was working right before surgery, right?) according to her, unlike us who had ours done one at a time every time we could scrape up the money (and didn't get another one until all of the others were broken).
Anyway... one of her Queens had a litter of about two weeks and the other had just delivered. The second one, who was her favorite, started staggering around the house like a drunkard after office hours. She called her vet in a panic who said, "Oh she probably just got into some beer. Call me in the morning." ::head:desk:: While this woman may have been a college student, she did
not let her cats get into things they should not!! She called me up crying. I immediately told her to call my vet which she did. The on-call vet listened to what she said, asked some questions, and said, "I'll meet you at the office." He spent all night trying to save her. It turned out that the poor baby had kidney failure. No one knew because all of the symptoms are ones that this particular cat exhibited during pregnancy. She brought the litter of three kittens home and I helped her get the other Queen to adopt them.
Anyway, if you live in the area this is the vet office to use. Of course, part of my predjudice might also be how much they fawn over my babies whenever they've had to go in, the quality of care, how happy the office dogs are, how wonderful all the staff are... oh, is that my outloud type?? ::grin:: At any rate, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Kitty Horde gives them Four Paws UP! Which multiplied by four...
