Just got back from TED with Spot and her kits. This visit wasn't
really for a checkup, but for Dr Haney to look them over and get his
pick of the litter. He pretty much pegged their personalities after
just watching them for a couple minutes. They're old enough. about 10
weeks, now for them to be separated from Mom. Everybody is on solid
food, but still nurse a little. I'm still trying to find something
they like, well, somethings besides the Hills x/d that I buy for Sam,
and she shares with LB. They're eating the purina kitten food, but
only grudgingly. So today we came home with dry Science Diet kitten
food. Guess it doesn't really matter, since I'll be giving them all up
soon. Still, I'd like to figure it out before I send them to their
foreverhomes.
He said he'd take his pick home now, but agreed with me to wait
another week until Spot has them completely weaned. So, I'll take them
all back Friday and he'll take his final pick. Right now he's leaning
towards Shadow and Pinky (newly named, he's the one with three black
spots down his spine, and white ears except for a little black on one
ear). I find it amazing that he was able to pick the two most outgoing
guys, which is what he wants, after only observing them for a couple
minutes. He's been telling patients about the Spot and her bitties,
but so far hasn't found any takers for Spot and the other two.
Course the other reason I was there today was to go over Sammy's test
results. I figured the test showed Sammy was over her urinary
infection or he would have made a point of talking to me last week
when I picked her up, so I wasn't worried (much, course you always
worry a little when you're waiting). Yep, infection gone. White cells
still slightly elevated, but he told me that's normal for some cats
and nothing to be concerned with. Still, it's a good thing she went
for her normal checkup. She showed no signs of being sick and we
caught it early.
