Good and Bad Vet Visit

So today I went to see Ben Vet with my brother Castle cos he had to have his annual check-up. Castle cried and screamed like a big baby when Meowmy left the apartment (I would say 'flat' but I think most of you call it an apartment). The neighbours came out to see what was going on, they couldn't believe that ONE cat could make such a racket! One of them asked if Castle was seriously ill - Meowmie explained that he was just a big baby and there was nothing wrong though.

When Stormie's Limousine arrived Castle spent the entire journey trying to burrow beneath me, so I ended up squashed against the roof of our carrier for most of the journey. He did pretty much the same at the Vet Place too and wouldn't look out of the prison bars on the front of our carrier. He is supposed to be the big protective man of the house....hahahaha...Meowmie's Aloe Vera plant is braver than Castle! Mind you, it was nice to have him with me on the trip for once...

So anyways, I got the once over and Ben Vet and Ann Nurse were extremely pleased with my condition and appetite and demeanour, they said I was a star, a proper little fighter and quite possibly their most-loved patient! I therefore had a GOOD DAY! I coud see Castle going green with envy hehehehe - especially as they had just called him 'grumpy'! Ise put on half a pound too (about 200 grams) and now weight just over 7lbs (3.2kgs)!!! Mind you, my poo-chute felt 'quite full' apparently so that 200 gramms could have just been poop! Ben Vet also wants to try me on an exclusion diet to see if we can eliminate the one puke every 36hrs. Apparently cats that go through chemo for gastric lymphoma can develop allergies to foods that they may have been OK with all their lives, so from tomorow morning I will be on a strict Royal Canin Sensitivity diet ONLY - this is made of catfish and tapioca. I've never had catfish before so am looking forward to trying it.

Now...on to Castle..who had a BAD DAY at the Vet Place. He weighs 13lbs (almost 6 kilos) which is bloody fat for a Meezer, so he too will be joining me on a strict diet - to make it easy he will have the Catfish Royal Canin food too. He got fat by eating the foods that were supposed to be for me when I was going through chemo - Meowmie left food out for me when she went to work, to keep my strength up when I was being fussy! And Castle needs to exercise and move his fat backside around a bit more! Ironically, considering the recent post bout his teefs, he also needs to have a tooth out so he is going back on Thursday for the day for an operation!!! Poor Boy! Maybe he will let Meowmie brush his teefs in future now and not struggle and fight her!

In other news...Here are some of the first victims of the new Olympic site developmnt in East London, they are little feral kittens and they are now 'homeless' cos the wooden palletts they were living beneath have all been cleared away. They are now at the Celia Hammond Trust and need Forever Homes. The first picture is the derelict warehouse and wooden pallets they lived in. Meowmie is quite taken with the little grey one doing a Full Monty in the picture at the end...
