Good evening felinity assembled, Sneakers the Texian Tuxedo here!
I know I am only 3 years old this month, but I'm feeling my age, I tell ya.
I've got a bit of a stomach upset and a little loss of appetite and going to the vet made me more than a bit grumpy.
Daddy is months late in renewing my license and my shots and annual check-up have been just as late.
Elvira is due for license renewal (and, like me, will be late) and annual check, this month and we all 3 needed our nails clipped and a dose of Revolution.
Daddy has 2 days off and, with tomorrow being his own doctor trips, including an important CT Scan of his abdomen and pelvis, so he tossed Elvira, Friday and I in our carriers and hopped the bus to our vet, Lakeside Animal Clinic.
If it was not for his Care Credit Card daddy would not have been able to do any of what needed to be done this morning.
It worried him, but he knew he had to do take us in.
I weighed in at 10lbs., Friday the Bearded Lady at 9.04 lbs. and Elvira Mistress of Felinity at 9.15lbs.
Friday just had her nails trimmed and was a very well-behaved lady.
Except for a need to do a teeth cleaning at some point next year the only issue Elvira has is an ear infection she was treated for and must make a follow-up visit in 2wks.
Elvira, too, was a well-behaved lady.
Like Elvira I had my annual wellness exam and got a rabies shot.
Since I was also getting my feline leukemia shot and have, um, well, made a scene in the past they sedated me.
Thus, like the others, I was a well-behaved lady...um, hee, hee!
Dr. A said I showed good physical health, like the others, but because I tossed my cookies the other day and have not been eating all of my morning and evening 1/4 cup of kibble she wanted daddy to keep an eye on me.
I like the Kibble n Bits daddy switched us to from our regular food, because he could buy more with what little extra money he had a couple weeks ago, but I DO miss the Purina One Smart Blend Indoor Advantage for adults.
After everything was done and though I was still a tiny bit groggy, I had enough of my wits about me to insist daddy take another picture because I liked what was on the drinks he had while waiting with us.
In a cool move daddy used this same photo as the first image shared on his brand new Instagram account!
He chose a very cool effect that changed the appearance of the image from the original coloring seen here.
He also added a cool, short, video, of himself dancing at work in July, hee, hee!

Anyway, we girls are worried because daddy had to put so much ($403) on his Care Credit card.
His monthly minimum payment on the thing is already too high and has been the reason he had not taken us to the vet this year, except for last April when we went to The Corner Vet at the time of Sneakers Hoohawectomy.
He originally got the card to help cover his ankle surgery in 2011, but eventually learned he could use it on us cats, too, beginning with Nikita in his final 2 years.
As I wrote at the beginning Daddy Kiril has a CT Scan tomorrow and he has an MRI next month, both annual things to keep up with his health and to make sure the eye cancer in remission has not spread elsewhere.
He also needs to make time to go to the food pantries and make sure his next paycheck allows him to pay the rent on time.
Elvira, Friday and I ask everyone to send lots of purrs and purrayers his way.
We love him and are doing our best to keep an eye on him and make him smile after a tired day at work.
I'm glad you girls were so well-behaved at the vet (even though you needed a little bit of, um, help, Sneakers!), and that you all checked out fine. I'm sending purrs that your human's checkup goes just as well!

He's fortunate to have all of you to make him smile. Sometimes life is tough and humans just need a good dose of purrs and love.
