The kittens are coming!

They have claws and teeth....and they ain't afraid to use em.

I have some amazing images of these cats in my head - wow, enforcer cats! Do you have photos?

Boida has a photo of Mikey somewhere....

Mikey the monster cat, the enforcer, the big lug:

Ah, he's a darling! Looks so relaxed in his handbasin, bless him. I

vonny, Look closely. He had thumbs--many extra toes. Certainly capable of handling a weapon.

He certainly has big paws - and amazing green eyes. Quite beautiful.

vonny, Mike should be referred to in the past tense. Sigh.

Enough about the monster cat.

Hey, deb. Your thread is back.

In my thread are many mansions, room enough for many cats!

You got a real way with words, kid. Happy to be hanging out in your mansion.

Sometimes I think it's the words that have their way with me.

You seem in complete control to me--except where the woollies are concerned.

Words can be deceiving....

Shiit! That Mikey looks like Possum-cat. Thankfully he's not reached Mikey's size, yet.....

Deb, Everything can be deceiving.

Margo, I remember your saying that Mikey looked like Possum. Mikey was extraordinarily big. Not to worry that Possum will get that size, unless he overeats--a lot!

NOT happy Jan! Apart from the election and suchlike serious problems, had to take woollies down to board. Poor little woollies have been especially happy last couple of days.....viola, for instance, has been treating me as a mountain goat treats a mountain, although I do not believe mountain goats kiss the peaks...

So there they are, luxuriating in the sun, when into their cages they are stuffed. Viola was out of hers in seconds flat.....the fastener ist tot, so she had to go loose in the car.

Sadly, she was taken short, and had a piss. She TRIED to contain it to the large sheet of bubble wrap that was in the back seat, but her fountain overflowed with the bounty thereof and lo the cup ranneth over.

So.....despite the unguents and purifiers I have applied withal, my car is going to stink.

Thank you employers! I bet I won't get any allowance for THAT.

Also, they were very upset when I left.....surrounded by other cats. Even Sebastian who almost never looks really distressed was extremely upset.

Feeling bad for the abandoned woollies and for you, deb, and your peed up car.

Are you home yet?

Aweee, that's so stressful for all of you.

Baking Soda and warm water with a little vinegar I believe will clear the air , shhh to the employers.

Oh my. Called vet when we got back to mobile phone cover.

Good news.....Viola doing very well with her heart.....halving her meds. This means $50 a month instead of $100. Yay! Murmur less detectable, BP normal.

Sebastian.......THREE TEETH CRACKED AND INFECTED! Possibly has genetically bad teeth.

$800 plus for surgery.

It's all done and he's home. Went crazy for hours after he got home, leaving a trail of chaos and destruction in his wake....more settled now.

One night alone with Viola and I was smothered in Viola love....almost literally, in that she pretty much wanted to sit on, lick, paw at, kiss and generally wear my face out.

Phew....she needs Sebastian as a distraction.

Two happy cats.

The pain Sebastian was in must have been awful, poor little fella! He actually has a root canal filling.

A root canal? Strewth, poor little fellow. I know animals need teeth cleaned, extracted and so on, but I'd never imagined them having to have root canals - ouch, I empathise with him totally - monstrously painful thing to have to undergo.
