Arthur is trying out the new soft sided, top or side load cat carrier I bought, this morning

It says it's good for up to 22 lbs.

I just figured it will be much easier to get Carys into one of these, rather than the hard sided ones with the latching cage door. I'm tempted to try and catch her tomorrow morning and get her to the vet but I think it will happen when I succeed in catching her. Not necessarily when I want to catch her.

If I can fit both her and Arthur, I'll take them both so she has a cuddle buddy to ease her stress.

The big boys will definitely be traveling solo. Who ever is the nicest gets the soft side carrier. And that, undoubtedly, will be Gryff.

Generally a good sign, health-wise, as I’ve been led to understand it.

At first Gryff's coat was dull, gritty and, well, stinky. It was also a 'fever coat'. I gave him a MUCH unappreciated bath to take care of the grit and stink. The fever coat resolved with good nutrition and he has turned into a big, sleek, shiny and VERY affectionate panther.

I'm noticing a change in Carys' coat. It is getting softer. I think she's going to be a beautiful silver/gray color.
