Catching Up, #2

Louie and I had a very noisy ride to the vet. Unfortunately, it's a half hour drive. He got an A+ from Dr. Jeff. Got his shots, and back we went to the house. My plan was to swap out Louie for Wilbur in the cat carrier, and then immediately return to see Dr. Jeff. I know it seems like a ridiculous amount of driving (when I could have combined taking the two cats at the same time), but I had taken them both before when they were younger and not as strong, and I couldn't face loading them into carriers at the same time.

I went away ...

I went away on a fairly long vacation. I didn't want to leave the kitties alone all that time, so I had a house sitter stay with them while I was gone. I missed them terribly. As soon as I got home and came in the front door, I called for them. The first cat to appear was Louie. He sat at the top of the stairs and talked and talked and told me what happened. He had a LOT to say!

Louie snores. It's the cutest thing. Often when I'm working I hear this little rhythmical snorty squeaky sound, and it's him. Sometimes he snores sitting up, just as he's nodding off. It's a very cosy, comforting sound.

Poor Louie - I was very busy last weekend, so I didn't post on his Gotcha Day. I'll try to make up for it. We actually had a belated celebration , so I'll post about that.
