Floppy in my hand.

tele_mark says:
These are pics of Floppy I found while looking through my albums for a picture for Robocat's urn. He was being baby-sat over my parent's house soon after rescue, for some reason I can't remember.

tele_mark says:
There is a resemblance, isn't there? This reminds me of a grizzled old German alpine guide I used to know.

Ninja cat!

tele_mark says:
Awww!

New Ipswich is a fair bit of a haul to Salem, but Floppy, Robocat, Ivan, and the other three adopted out brothers were born in the ceiling of my old apartment on Candia Road in Manchester, close to East Industrial Park Drive.

Close enough I had to switch to macro.

Great picture of a pretty girl!

Life is rough at Kitanimo.

Jarl Storm and his beloved brother the Berserker (one eye STILL a tiny bit open in vigilance).

tele_mark says:
Storm, a couple days ago, when he still had "Kirk Douglas Viking Eye". It's just about cleared now.

tele_mark says:
Storm checking out the 4 wild turkey Toms that woke me up in the Am just a few minutes before this shot -- they're LOUD!!

tele_mark says:
Paulnichen and her "baby" look so good, despite their challenges! You're doing such a great job, Tina, you should be proud! She reminds me of Storm in many way too.

"If I hide here, maybe the foodz won't see me, and will go in the bowls and I can hunt it!"

tele_mark says:
They came out of hiding last night for feeding, and Storm's eye was a little better, and I had less trouble then I thought I'd have putting the drops in. Mikesch just wanted to be petted. Then they hunted a moth together that got in the house.

But the point is --- vets are fricking disgusting!

tele_mark says:
So for this little vet visit -- eye exam $55, fluorescent stain (1 drop) $22, 1/8 oz tube of Genttrak eye ointment -- ******$$$35.94****!!!!!!!!!?!??!?!!??!!?!!?

tele_mark says:
No, it was because they were both under the couch, and I had to chase Storm around the house for 10 minutes to get him into the carrier, and Mikesch thought I was after him.

tele_mark says:
He did good at the vet, but peed in his carrier on the ride home. Mikesch still hasn't come out of hiding though.

tele_mark says:
Storm had to go to the vet unexpectedly today because something was wrong with his right eye yesterday. Ends up it was an ulcer, the doc thought it was from rubbing. I think he did it going under the sofa, which he's getting too big to do. Anyway, I finally got him weighed there, and he's 10.6 lbs!
