Took the clowder to TED today, for annual check-ups & booster jabs.

Marble *howled* the entire time. he howled in the car on the way to TED. He
*howled* in TED's reception area. He *howled* in the exam room. He *howled*
when TED examined him & gave him his jabs. He *howled* when he went back in
the carrier & he *howled* all the way home. Then he *howled* when let out of
his carrier back at home.

France went next. Francis refused to come out of his cat carrier. Even with
the cat carrier tipped completely upside down, Francis demonstrated his
mountaineering skills by using his claws as pitons, jammed into the sides of
the cat carrier and refusing to come out. he had a look on his face of "Last
time I was here some berk wanted to kill me." Anyhow, I managed to coax
Francis out - by the scruff of his neck. Francis reminded TED of exactly
what he thinks of TEDs these days. Can't blame him really, but I did remind
Francis that the TED he was seeing today did not want to kill him at all....
Anyhow, TED examined Francis and is extremely pleased with how Francis is
doing. Keeping on weight, looking good, fit, healthy, & with more than
enough life in him to remind TED that he has claws and fangs & is not afraid
to use them ;-) TED was impressed that Francis manages to hunt rabbits :-)

Waffles was last of all. TED impressed that for a now senior ladycat, she is
fit, healthy etc. considering what she went through a few years ago and that
minus a couple of fangs, she is still a mighty huntress.

So all three are now up-to-date with health checks & vaccinations for
another year.
