Mush and Smoosh

Callie had a very exciting outing today that wore her out. She went with Matt, me and her three brothers to the vet. She didn't sleep the entire time she was there. She was way to curious about all the furry things around her and all the barking and meowing. All the babies were very good for this outing. I was glad that Matt went this year because last year, even without a baby, it was so hard to carry a two pet crates filled with fatties. Poe and Chester share and Ollie has his own. I wish that the entire visit had been good news. My visit last spring where they told me Indey was dying is still pretty fresh in my mind. Today we found out that Oliver has little tumors in his ears that will need to be removed and biopsied. Fortunately, the surgery is not nearly as much as we thought it would be. Hopefully we will find out that they are all benign and there will be no more need to worry. But his ears are full of little gray nodules. The vet acted like she had never seen so many in one cat before. She said that there is no cause, they are just something that some cats get. The other boys were fine. Poe had lost weight but Chester had gained a pound. The doctor told us to start feeding them some canned food every day because of its water content. She said research has found that it is now good for cats because it gives them more water and helps prevent kidney failure which is the number one cause of death in kitties. So it seems that they boys will only be getting fatter! Lucky them! Here are some pictures of Callie with her best buddy Chester. He loves her and follows her around just waiting for an opportunity to lick her head or rub up against her. I predict that he will sleep with her every night once she is big enough and in a normal bed.





Just to calm any worry-worts or people who still believe the old wives tale that cats will suck the air out of infants! This napping situation was closely monitored and only lasted a few minutes!


Callie loves to rub her feet in the fur. Chester thinks he is getting a belly rub so he just rolls around loving it!
