 >> Maybe do them one at a time...? 

 JK> That is one possibility of course, but just for me, I'd rather get the
 JK> two fuzz-balls in there at once ... I don't doubt his office will
 JK> suggest one at a time as well though :)

Get it over with once and for all... ;)  It would make sense though to
bring one at a time if you have difficulty getting both of them into the
carrier when the time comes.... ;)
 
 >> I don't suppose that he'd be willing to make a home visit... ;)  You
 >> never know, he might be a cat whisperer too...  ;)

 JK> There is a vet in the Ithaca area that makes home visits, we had her
 JK> come before when Toby, our black lab, was so very very ill.  He had
 JK> cancer of the stomach, poor doggie.. Anyway, we did have her come over
 JK> for Toby and she was a good vet.. she of course had to refer us to
 JK> Veterinarian surgeons for anything beyond exams, shots, etc.
 
When we got the mobile vet here for an emergency visit with one of our
cats that was in difficulty with a bad birthing, he used my ironing
board as a surgical table to do an emergency hysterectomy... she had
burst her uterus trying to birth the kits which were all huge... He
wasn't sure he could save her, but he did, and she bounced back
beautifully... and lived another nine-plus years.... none of the kittens
survived, though....

 >> I'll talk to him again next Friday when Indy goes in for his surgery.
 >> who knows? :)
 > He'll probably help you figure out some way to get the cats to him... :)

 JK> I'm hoping for knockout drops :) :) :)

That might work....  :)
 
 >>> So you are down to just two cats...?  Which two...?
 >> Lola and Lulu are still here :)  Lulu has become more of an actual
 >> "pet" Lol..  I mean compared to how feral they all were in the
 >> beginning :)  She actually likes to sit on the couch with us... not
 >> touching, but she is -there- (it's something Lol)
 > It IS something...  :)  One of our current ones who was very spookish
 > when she first came here (she and her littermate sister had been
 > originally feral, then adopted by a 'feeding station" lady who died and
 > her daughter had 6 cats to re-home) has now gotten to the point that she
 > actually demands attention and pettings...

 JK> haha... I can picture it, as I've seen that kind of demand for
 JK> attention and being pet :)  Lola is that way.  She was the first one to
 JK> really lose her 'feral nature'.  It's funny though, as soon as someone
 JK> comes to the house though, they RUN and hide... This week the people
 JK> from Meals-on-Wheels came to check with Ron's aunt to see if the meals
 JK> were good for her, etc. and poof, they were gone!  Both kitties, no
 JK> where to be seen.  They probably ran upstairs and hid under our bed Lol

Just because they've accepted you as family doesn't mean they'll stick
around for intruders...  (G)  And I'm sure they have plenty of good
hidey spots, some of which probably allow them to spy unseen on the
situation... ;)

 > we've had them for maybe four
 > years now... She still easily spooks, though... so the name we gave her
 > is still appropriate... Spook...  :)  Her sister is Shadow... they both
 > follow Richard around like puppies...  ;)  (Originally Spook was G.G.
 > for Granny's Girl, and Shadow was Sweetpea... they didn't seem to want
 > those names so we came up with more appropriate use names... [g])

 JK> That's neat.  We kept the names the people at the Ithaca shelter gave
 JK> these guys as they seemed fitting :)  And boy did each of them know
 JK> their names well :)  I remember when we got them home and realized how
 JK> each of them really knew their names so well, it was uncanny :)

I guess the shelter workers had a good sense for naming, then... and
were able to build up the rapport with the animals...  :)  What happened
to the rest of the cats...?

 JK> This week, I made pizza for all of us, but I tried a new idea that
 JK> Mike Chen from 'Strickly Dumpling' mentioned.  He took a trip to Naples
 JK> Italy, and found that pizza there was exquisite (of course ).  He
 JK> found one well known pizza restaurant that covers the pizza dough with
 JK> pistachio pesta before filling it with other incredibly great
 JK> toppings... so I had to try that. It was so good :)

Is that instead of any tomato sauce, or in addition to it...?  It does
look pretty good.... :)
