So this weekend I was able to grab both Orange Boi and Daddy Cat and box them up and get them serviced by a professional. I even got to do cool things like listen to their hearts with a stethoscope!
Like the ladies earlier this year, they also got vaccinations and flea drops (the latter of which were a very generous donation). When I released Orange Boi he ran like lightening (or maybe ran like his nuts were nipped or something). Daddy was a bit slower to come out of the cage, but as soon as I was out of sight, he was gone. I worried, just like I did with Mommy and Tiny (Gimpy was in no danger of going anywhere), that they would be so traumatized that they would not come back. But Orange Boi showed up the very next morning for breakfast. He was a little shyer, but here and happy to be fed. Daddy took another day but I was so delighted to see him creep up to the porch to not only eat, but to visit with me. Another good thing is that they are now using the cat houses we purchased for them! I looked at several types and opted for the K&H Heated Houses that I found online. I got two of the larger ones, thinking that the cats would double up in the boxes (silly me), and I really very much like these products. They are insulated vinyl that fasten together with sturdy velcro. They take about two minutes to assemble. Inside is a fleece covered heating mat that only operates when there is a cat sitting on it, which should save electricity. These do not weigh much, so I do recommend that they be fastened down or weighted in some way if the area is not sheltered from the wind. In addition to the houses we also got a heated water dish so that I dont have to keep chopping ice out of their bowls. I need to disinfect it frequently, but I think they very much appreciate not having to drink slimey pond water. And because likes everything to be perfect, Siada even inspected the houses before I put them out for the Furrals. She was pleased! (I think she also wanted some of the limelight as the Furrals seem to be getting more than their share these days.)
