Miffed on Monday

Dear furriends,

I am miffed. Very miffed. Mom returned from her study trip yesterday and both Siena and me were so happy to see her. Even Siena, who isn't a lap cat, hopped onto her, purred & purred and made biscuits. I was well on my way to forgiving her the absence of four whole days, when she TOOK ME TO THE VET TODAY.

Nooooo! Not the vet!!!

This is inacceptable! I cried really loud the way to the vet - so loud that people stopped to look what was causing this fearful noise. They poked me several times and I was too scared to even make a fuss about it. The vet found out that my back teeth are already developing tartar, which I'm far too young for.

Vet visits make me very thirsty.

The good thing is that this is just another reason for us to get yummy raw meat regularly - it's good for the teeth. I'm a healthy prettypuss otherwise and the vet commented on my very nice figure. I weigh 3,7 kg.
But still, mom has a lot to make up for. The vet!

Dear furriends,

it's been a while since we started our blogcation to get our mom back into studying. And boy, it's been a hard time so far! We interrupt our intense mom-monitoring for an update on how things are going.
At first, things went really bad as all of us got sick. Mom noticed that Siena was scratching her ears quite a lot so she went to the vet with her. It turned out she had a light ear infection and ear drops would solve the problem. Two days later, we had been enjoying some hours outside, Siena's right eye was teary and her third membrane had moved forward over one third of the eye. She looked horrible, like a pirate. The vet found a deep scratch in it! Fortunately, the retina wasn't hurt. That meant three times ointment and two time eye drops per day for Siena. Over almost a month and weekly vet visits her eye has healed handsomely and you can't see anything nomore. But that's not all: Mom had just visited the vet with Siena to check on her eye and had to leave on the next day's morning for a university course away. Things were arranged with the other type of human to look after us and mom was confident about Siena's progress and the other type of human giving her all this medication. So she gets up in the morning to find me having some strange sort of coughing attack, intermixed with sneezes and rolling around on the floor. She honestly thought I was going to die right away. The attack lasted several minutes. The other type of human came over right away as our mom, dissolved in tears, had to leave to get to that course. He had to take me to the vet because I started to get lethargic and I wouldn't eat. There I got stabbed with a nasty needle an they prescribed pills for me. It seems that I got a really bad cold. After our mom's return she took me with her for Siena's appointment and everything was fine. And now comes the big joke: Excactly that same night we came back from the vet Siena started sneezing! She got over it with the help of an homoeopathic treatment, but it was hard seeing her like this. She ate and played all the time though and there wasn't any yucky stuff coming out of her nosie.

Fortunately we're both well again and back to having a good time. Ehem, that's when we're not totally exhausted from helping mom study, of course.

Exhausted.

So exhausted.

Check out our DIY Busy Box. Great fun!
Towards the end of the video you can see Siena sneeze.
A pin-up shot of Siena.Mom!!! Stop that! I'm a respectable Ladycat!Chilli - The secret ingredient. Guess how much Miss Silky & Slender weighs...
Having fun with the new sisal rug. Apparently mom plans another DIY project.
Mom always laughs and laughs when Siena zooms off in the other world behind our garden wall. She caught her flying!

Things are improving slowy but surely with mom but she's a harder case than we thought. We have to remain on blogcation until we really see land again. We miss all of you terribly, but we're not completely away anyway as we visit regularly. ; )
Purrs and love your way,
Siena & Chilli

Houston, we have contact!

Mom here:
Things are going good here in wintery Cologne as Siena has chosen to accept the little one. Hooray! However, the small one is totally hissed off because we just returned from the vet where she got her chip. I am hissed off too because the vet told me that she HASN'T got the leucosis vaccination, which I was told she had but has ear mites and an ear infection "instead". I am very mad at the rescue organisation! I trusted them with the vaccinations and made an extra point on the importance of the leucosis immunisation as to not endanger Siena. They told me she had it. Apart from the danger, it's an expensive vaccine around here! They also manipulated her age and she seems to be younger than what they told me... Oh well, I guess the most important thing is to get her all healthy asap. I still don't think it's very professional of them!Siena:
Talking about health: You all might know already that my lovely Sister in Floof Momo isn't feeling well. We keep all paws crossed here and are purring for her to get better right away! Please do so too, if you're not already doing it. Thank you!
