Their First Veterinary Visit

Yesterday, the Felons went to the veterinary for the first time. All was good news. The kittens received their first vaccinations, were examined, and pronounced healthy. The doctor determined that they needed no more de-worming - and they are indeed both boys.


The visit to the hospital was over quickly, and the little ones were on their way back to the apartment without delay. I spent some time with them upon returning home, and it’s interesting that their reactions reflected the divergence in their characters, as they have been developing.


Oleo stepped onto my lap and settled down, purring; Bisto trotted about the library, sometimes carrying a fuzzy mouse, as if to make sure all was as he had left it. Later, however, Bisto curled up on my lap and his brother lie down on the towel under which is a pet heating-pad. There he closed his eyes and purred loudly for about a quarter-hour. Afterward, Bisto joined him and groomed him. Though they have always been conscientious about their own cleaning, washing each other has been almost unintended, an extension of washing themselves. This time, one deliberately took the time and effort to attend to the other, who evidently liked the grooming very much.

We have had some people interested in adopting the Felons, and more than one party looks promising. More conversation will be needed, but I suspect Oleo and Bisto will have a new and permanent home soon, probably before Christmas.

  1. I hope the adoption works out, although I'll miss hearing about them. I figured it wouldn't take long for someone to find them irresistible.

  2. Aw, sweet babies, I'm glad their first vet visit went well. Would that all their vet visits were so easy.

    Fingers (and paws) are crossed for their adoption (hopefully together). I will miss reading about their antics, but of course the goal is to get them into their forever home sooner than later. Smooches to them both! 💖

  4. John, do a good, hard sell on keeping these two sweeties in social media, so we can continue to be enthralled! Not only will the new pawrents have two rascally kittens, but they'll already have a blog/FB following!

  6. So glad they have clean bill of health. It will help to quicken
    an adoption, even though it will leave a bit of an empty spot
    or 2 in your cosy home. Neville will probably dance the night away
    the first night they have moved.

  7. They are real live wires! I am glad they have a clean bill of health and should be able to go to their Forever Home for Christmas. I know you will miss them, I certainly will.

    1. Let’s just hope their new people don’t use heated mattress pads.

  9. It would be wonderful if the Felons could find a "furever" home together by Christmas, but I'm really going to miss hearing about their escapades. Reading about them makes my day. Hopefully we'll be able to get updates on how they're doing after they've been adopted. Can sending updates be a requirement for adoption???
