The girls bowled over by the handsome dashing soldiers

Yeah, it's another cat-based post. Forgive me. This is still a bit of a novelty. The urge to chronicle every bowel movement and twitch of her whiskers will wear off soon enough, I'm sure.

The good news: I found someone doing low-cost local spays. That'll be my first call tomorrow morning then. Fingers crossed, people!

The other good news: She ate half a raw chicken wing this morning, and we spent two hours this afternoon with all four of us snuggled on my bed together. Cassie was sprawled on her back, relaxed and purring, with Spike's nose two inches away from her. She still growls and wallops any dog that moves too fast or gets too intrusive, and the dogs still do that, but we're doing much better than I expected so soon. I didn't get pictures this afternoon, but I do have a few:

( Cat pics, dog pics and at least one dog + cat pic! )

I need a stiff shot badly

The vet doing the cheap deal with the Cats Protection League can see her tomorrow. My own (subsidised and equally cheap) vet can see her Wednesday. I'm going with my own vet. None of them can see her today.

Also spoke to the local branch of the Cats Protection League themselves. They told me that if she is too pregnant to be spayed, they will, if I like, take her in and foster her for me until the kittens are ready to go, then they'll rehome the kittens and give her back to me spayed.

I'm not keen on that option from my own point of view, but if she has to have kittens I think it'd be the best one for her. I've got no experience looking after kittens and I have the dogs to think of. But if that happens she'd be gone for months. *sad face*
