Showtime!

Tomorrow it's time for Battus to emter his second show. Truls was supposed to join him but we've decided to let him stay at home due to his stomach problems earlier this week. He is allright now but we want to be on the safe side.
The show will take place in Väster Haninge and is arranged by Järva Cat club.

Stomach ache

Poor Truls suffers from some kind of stomach ache or infection. It started yesterday when he couldn't keep his food. We consulted the veterinary and decided to wait and see at home as he is very alert otherwise.
So he's on a chicken diet now. I was up all night just to make sure it didn't get worse.

It doesn't seem like he has swallowed anything, it's more like he got some bacteria or ate some bad food. We'll keep a close eye on him!

Drying in the sun

Battus had a tough day yesterday. It was time for his bath and we spent an hour or so in the bathroom schampooing, rinsing, combing and fixing. As his coat is really thick it took quite the effort to bathe him!

Battus, like most moggies, doesn't like taking a bath. He doesn't see the point. But at the end of the day he survives and is really happy when it is over and done with :-) And I must say he was so brave!
Here he is sitting in the sun, drying.

Moggies taking a break

During the afternoons the cats likes to take a looong nap. This is Truls and Beverly on the sofa last Saturday. Arn't they cute together!!!

Hot summer days

We've had some really hot summer days, +31 degrees in the shade! This is Truls taking a nap.

Life in a body suit is OK after all

Yesterday Bekka and Beverly got to leave the sick bay for the entire day. The sun was shining and the two furry ladies were quite happy. This is Bekka enjoying the sun on the wooden deck. The body thing is NOT what it may seem. It is a body suit for babies that she wares to protect the wound, mainly from herself. She wares this instead of the plastic funnel. Beverly hates both the funnel and the body. So as from today we will try to leave her without anything during daytime. Let's hope she will let the wound alone.

And BTW, today Battus and Truls are 10 months old! Happy birthday guys!

Watching over his pride

Truls has been worried about Bekka and Beverly. He's been visiting the sick bay on and off the past days as to make sure the ladies are OK. He's been watching over them like a lion watching over his pride.

The boring sick bay

Bekka and Beverly were neutered two days ago. They find life in the sick bay boring by now. This is Beverly, an hour ago, taking a break from the plastic funnel she has to wear to protect the wound. Today we will make them a body to wear instead of the funnel. With the body they can spend some time outside the sick bay. But the trick will be to keep them from climbing or jumping. And wrestling with Battus and Truls is simply out of the question. Well well, let's take one hour at a time...

Beverly & Bekka neutered

Yesterday Bekka and Beverly were neutered. Everything went well, at least so far. For now they have a room of their own and I am watching over them, closely. They don't appreciate having to wear a funnel/collar but they have to, to protect the wound. Outdoors, the sun is shining again. Finally!
