Neutering the boys (day 162)

We had the boys neutered last Friday. We had planned to take in all 4 kittens, along with the 2 older cats and Charger, the dog. After much thought we figured we would do it in shifts, making it easier to care for them after their "big day".

We dropped the boys off around 7:30 in the morning, and they allowed us to pick them up a little earlier than normal due to our being concerned. The boys were little bobble-heads, and looked so pitiful! We brought them home and put them to bed in Sandy's big dog crate. They stayed there for a few days, while Meisha lived alone in the big cage. None of them were happy being apart, so when we moved them all back in together, they were all very excited!

We were stunned to find out that Casey and Eric both weighed in at 8.4 pounds, and Rosey weighed in at 7.2! Who knew that the little white 5.5 ounce fluff ball would grow so HUGE!? Casey now weighs close to 25 times what he wieghed when we rescued him!!

The boys were playing in the bathtub tomight, a new favorite play place for them. Casey's body is nearly 4 inches longer than both Rosey's and Eric's bodies. They are all 3 very big boys though!

As for Meisha, well Meisha goes in on February 16 for her spaying. She'll be fine with 3 big brothers at home to help take care of her once her initial recovery time has past.
