@ASV_Vites I think we’re due a kitten update, no? (Or at least a new picture!)
Precious 
Don’t let his cuteness fool you. He is a rambunctious maniac kitten who specializes in getting into lots of trouble and scratching the crap out of me on a daily basis…
My legs look like I’ve been attacked by a weedwhacker or something.
He’s just playing but lord I hope this is a phase because this is the 7th cat we have had in 23 years and we have never had a kitten like this…
His specialty is hiding somewhere and attacking me when I walk around. Doesn’t do that to my wife or the kids.
He will be getting a nail trimming tomorrow at the vet along with his aids and leukemia tests so we can introduce him to Kara (12 year old sister of Charlie (RIP)) who looks like a puma compared to him so she should be able to humble him a bit. LOL
@ASV_Vites Thank you for taking care of this precious baby.
I have a small update myself. I’ve been holding off until it was official. Now it’s official! I have adopted another cat, or rather he adopted me. He’s a stray that has been hanging around for a few months. I’ve been feeding him along with other cats who occasionally visit, but this one has stayed. It’s seems he doesn’t want to move on. So I have made it official. I took him to the vet and got him vaccinated and neutered. His pet registration is next.
Here is Buzzy. He’s a real love bug. This is the best photo I could get because he kept squirming and doing the roly-poly. Welcome home Buzzy!

Aww! Congrats. Wonderful colors.
Good Luck with him!
Steve
Thank you!
He’s a gray Siamese with blue eyes and white paws like a Snowshoe. You can’t see it in the photo but he has charcoal gray toe beans on those white paws. Very unique. I’ll try to get a photo of them if he will only stay still for a second. 
He LOVES you! 
Ollie had his vet visit today.
Nail Trim / Eye Check / Vaccines / second de-worming just in case / blood tests for aids and leukemia.
Eye - Vet says he has a fully functioning eye with some minor scarring remaining. That should clear up mostly if not completely over time. She was surprised how quickly he has progressed even though it’s not perfect yet. We have a new topical lubricating gel that we will have to use on that eye 2X a day for the next 60 days.
Weight - He weighed in at 4lbs 11ozs. He was 2lbs 2oz on June 9th when we got him so he’s more than doubled his weight.
Aids / Leukemia Tests - They just called - Negative. YAY!
After 48 hours (De-wormer), begins the slow steady process of introducing Ollie to Kara.
4 weeks from now he will have his booster shots and 8 weeks from now he will be fixed and and have a full blood workup so we have a baseline and to make sure his little organs weren’t damaged by starvation while he was on the street. Then that should be it.
We did it! The little guy is going to be ok. YAY!
I wasn’t surprised, apparently it’s gotten much rarer for strays to have these diseases thankfully.
It did turn my frown upside down for 30 seconds though so that was nice.
These are two Ragdoll kittens ( born May 3rd ) that we got earlier today. They are still a bit shellshocked from the move, and hiding in the cardboard cat carrier that we used to move them.
They have a bathroom all to themselves, with food, water, a litter box, and several random boxes with fluffy towels to hide in. We’re going to let them aclimate for several days. We’ll drop in several times per day to play with them and let them get used to us.
They are beautiful! 
They are going to be so fluffy! Best wishes welcoming them to their new fur-ever home.
They might look a tad-bit forlorn now, but I suspect they’ll warm up to y’all w/ the TLC planned for their acclimation.
That’s a might-fine-looking pair of Tamers Of Dogs if ever I saw one.
We do the same thing (bathroom) with our cats when we bring them home. Ollie now has the bathroom and a long hallway (bedroom doors are closed and we have a room divider up to block him off from the rest of the place. My in-laws have a lot of plants, some of them are poisonous. Ollie will be moving down to our place shortly. We don’t have any plants because we have cats…
Very cute kitties. Congrats! 
Oh my Goodness! Adorable!
Love them!!!
I’m so envious of the photos of kitties who like to have human contact. Our bookstore hiding cat still doesn’t seem to desire any loves. She let me pick her up one day, for about 30 seconds. She does come out of hiding when I speak to her, but just enough to let me know she is still alive, but requires nothing from me other than a pet on the head, back into her cubby.
I like the @rms work flow very much!!

Next bookstore cat - make sure he’s an orange one… They are the sweetest of the species.
There are some exceptions because they can be maniacs too but this is our 3rd ginger and the experience has been the same each time.
They are genetically predisposed to poor health sadly so that’s a risk you take.
My first Ginger (Autumn - male) had horrific asthma. The steroids our first vet gave him shut down his pancreas and left him a terrible diabetic. He was being rushed to the vet every 3 weeks to go into the oxygen tent with asthma attacks so bad that he would black out and his
tongue would turn purple.
I vividly remember the time he was dying in the back seat of my car and I was riding on the shoulder of the belt parkway, hitting cones on the shoulder in my 96 Impala SS because the traffic was so bad and he was dying right in front of our eyes.
If I had to guess, I would estimate that we spent about $40K on him over 14 years in medical costs.
Changed vets and this one was experimenting with human Singulair in cats with Asthma. Once we got him on that, he never had another attack again, in 12 years. NOT 1!
The damage was done. Ended up giving him over 9,000 insulin shots during those final 12 years of his life.
Ended up getting the Singulair from Canada because it was 90% cheaper.
My last Ginger (Charlie 
) was never super healthy. He threw up all the time, like 5X a week or more. Nobody could figure it out.
Turns out that he probably had a condition similar to IBS in humans that eventually morphs into Lymphoma in cats which is what killed him. That and Supply Chain BS that had the Chemo that most likely would have saved his life and cured it on backorder for weeks. The tests to diagnose him cost us $3200 and he was gone a week later.
Fun fact - Ginger cats are 97% male.
Be Well
