Hooper went to the vet!

Hooper had his annual visit Friday morning. He cried in the car all the way there, more softly on the way home.
Hubby took his little camera.


He's gone from 7 lbs. to 8. He's in good shape. He was out all night in - 5 C. the other day. The vet was pleased with his condition. Our harlequin tabby.

The camera isn't quick enough to capture his leaps from here to there, but you get the idea.

"No, don't take my photo!"


We brought him home. He camped out in the caterpillar all day. We sat to watch a video at 7 p.m., and he hauled himself upstairs to sit on my lap. From there, I popped him on the bed, and he didn't budge all night. He's pretty whacked out by the annual drugs; rabies, FVR, Panleukopenia, Chlamydia, Milbemax (deworming). Plus, we bought Bravecto for both cats, as flea and tick season starts shortly. All told, $350. It's only money.


Saturday morning, hubby got him up, and he's eating some dry food. It all hit him really hard! He went back to bed until 4 p.m. I've never seen him so quiet!


For those so inclined, an update on the Bala Falls Hydro Project, The rhetoric and lobbying is ridiculous. It's well on its way to completion, after 10 years, and there are those spreading lies (Save The Bala Falls clan), still. The shop, a rental in a horribly aging building, moss on the roof, is angry.


I get that, but rather than protest he'll could make other plans. Even Doug Ford didn't fulfill his campaign promise to stop it!

Then, my local weather reports❄️MARCH 🍀.

In Scotland, much of our power comes from hydro - and you'd never know the facilities were there! Very often the same folk who complain about change are the folk who complain about not having the benefit that very change is designed for... sending POTP to Hooper... YAM xx

I didn't even know the name harlequin tabby until very recently, but that's what we have. She's a very pretty girl.

Our cats hate riding in the car, too.

Hooper looked comfortable enough exploring the vet's office. Good check-up!

And we think Boris is heavy at just over 6 lbs. Too much for Hooper in one fell swoop, no wonder he rested and recovered.

We had a Tabby that looked a lot like Hooper. We called him Cessna. We went through a lot of airplane names before we got to our last cat, Stick Tail. He loved to ride in cars, sitting on the dash. His favourite was when I semi truck passed by. - Margy

Yay for Hooper surviving all those good shots!

He would not be happy to visit the V-E-T.

That’s a lot of shots all at once, no wonder your sweet baby slept and slept! My goodness, I live with a grown man who pretty much does that every time he gets an inoculation of any kind. (To be fair, he is allergic to some supposedly inert ingredient in the vaccines).

I'm so glad Hooper is doing well. I can imagine how tired out he must be from a trip to the vet. It looks like he needed a lot of comforting from the both of you.

Best wishes to Hooper.
