Devin's checkup


Took Devin to the Cat Hospital today for his shots. He was NOT happy and meowed fiercely all the way there. Since it was only a 5 minute drive, that wasn't so bad. The quiet atmosphere (no dogs!) and the relaxed vet & assistant made the overall experience relatively easy. Devin behaved beautifully - but was happy to return to the cat carrier after all the poking, proding, and shots. The vet said he's fine but recommended that he lose weight. He now weights 14.25 pounds!! He is hefty - I can tell that every time I pick him up - but he is also a big cat. Apparently, he's having too many cat crunchies but he doesn't seem to eat all that much at home. So where is he getting extra food?

So we'll have to try to get him to eat more wet food rather than crunchies. That may be a challenge.

The picture at left is from a few months ago but he still looks much the same, only larger - and without the collar which he removed in the bushes somewhere.
