Macky, Mowie, and Sunny

Mac and Sunny survived a visit to the vet today, second for Sunny, third for Mac. Sunny weighed in at 4.5 lbs, while Macky trailed behind (barely!) at 4.25 lbs. The lil guy has come a long way since he weighed less than a half a pound- he’s catching up to Sunny. Getting them to the vet was not as easy as it once was. We thought we could pick them up and go as usual, but they put up a fight. Mac escaped once and hid under the bed. When we actually got him in the box, he brought himself to headbutt the carrier, as if he’s an animal or something! Cats are so smart, they’ve already learned that the carrier = bad. I thought we had a good year before they figured that out…

We asked the vet about Macky’s slightly bowed legs and she said he should be fine, just like a bow-legged person. His joints were moving normally and he does everything that Sunny does, which was a relief to hear. Mike wondered how we would get them back in the carrier from the vet, pssh inexperienced cat owner! Just like their aunts and uncles, the boys walked right back in after they were examined and laid down. They pounded their little paws and chanted “Bring us home! Bring us home!” Ok, maybe the second part was exaggerated a little…. They knew we were home as soon as we walked in and happily left the box. After some treats and belly rubs, we called it even.

PS- pictures coming soon, we promise.
