Now Presenting: Yuki and Yeti

It sounds like you have your hands full! I'm anxious to get Vivi on the scale again- it seems like she grew into full grown cat size just in the last week! I'm guessing she's right up there with Yeti at about 8lbs...

Since Yeti and Vivi are so close in age it will be interesting to keep up with comparisons. :)

At just short of 29 weeks, Yeti is at exactly 8 pounds.

Sounds like he is growing well!

Took all three beasties to the vet this morning. As usual Paz crapped the carrier. Yuki decided to be grumpy and she also managed to slip out of the exam room and wander around the back area in the clinic amusing the technicians. We didn't know she got out until one of the techs brought her back. :lol:

D does this :)

Hopefully in another couple weeks we'll have the all-clear for ringworm. No lesions are present, all hair has grown back and the first set of test cultures had no signs of ringworm. Side note: Yeti really enjoyed being brushed for the purpose of collecting the sample. He closed his eyes to very narow slits and purred up a storm.

YAY!!! D does this when brushed as well.

For Paz we are switching to steroid eye drops. I just have to figure out how to grow a third arm and hand, two to contain him with his eye open, and one to apply the drops. Once we get the inflamation under control then we can address the viral cause.

Sending good thoughts your way that Paz feels better soon!

Mischief thy name is Yeti.

My alarm went off this morning and I made the mistake of hitting snooze with Yeti looking me in the eye from a foot away . . . little bugger was not allowing a snooze option. Oh, no. Not catching even a single minute of extra sleep ape-man. He immediately knocked my glasses off the night stand which he knows gets an immediate reaction since without them I am at a major disadvantage.

At least his reason was he wanted to cuddle before I left for work. :in love:

Yeti got himself put in a timeout this morning. I was trying to get clothes out to get ready for work and he kept attacking the clothes. I had to shut him in the safe room for 5 minutes in order to get dressed. Very rambunctious this morning, really revved up to play.

On the food side I am beginning to get an idea of what raw foods they like best currently.
1. pork
2. bison
3. beef
4. pheasant
5. duck
6. rabbit
7. chicken

I am sure their moods will affect the order, but Paz will eat the first three without it being mixed with canned. so they are far ahead of the others. Yeti will eat them all. Yuki being the resident diva can be finicky, but she is a good indicator of popular tastes based on her likes and dislikes.

Here is a picture of the wrecking crew enjoying bison.

Possession is nine tenths of cat law. The other ten percent is a slow motion warning swat to the forehead.

These three are really enjoying the raw bison. It is almost gone and I suspect breakfast will require opening a can of food to suppliment the small amount left.

Paz amazes me with his ingenuity usually about the time I forget he really is a smart DSH. He was sitting a step shy of being in eating position and Yeti was back for his third round. Suddenly Paz calmly reaches his paw over, hooks the dish, slides to himself leaving Yeti looking gob smacked. When Yeti moved to continue eating he met a slow motion paw to the head. Paz basically said, talk to the paw.

Yuki snuck up on me this morning as I was heading out the door for work. Something made me hesitate and look down. Sure enough she was between the inner and outer door (which I had just swung open a little). Fortunately she backed away into the house instead of going out. Good Girl Yuki, good girl. ;)
