About 4 weeks and a little wormy

I took some new photos of our charges today.  They won’t win any beauty pageants, will they?!

I’ve been pretty concerned about them because the top two cats in the photo (Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae), haven’t really been gaining weight.  They also developed a very “fragrant” and blood-spotted diarrhea a few days ago.  So, we carted them off to the vet.  Their fecal samples were negative, but they were dewormed just in case and sent home with 9 days worth of Albon.  Today they seem to be pooping less, although there are still some blood spots.  Flippy doesn’t think it stinks as much, though, and her nose can detect anything obnoxious.

I try and try to clean them up to make them look presentable, but they immediately end up looking like little ruffians again.  TJ, the cat in the bottom photo, is huge like a moose—at the vet he literally weighed twice as much as Freddie Mac.  The vet doesn’t think that’s significant, but I’m still suspicious about whether TJ is really a sibling of the other two.  They’re just getting to the age where they’re very playful, running and jumping all over the kitchen, so they’re a lot of fun when I’m not cleaning up after them.

  2. Well, the top one loks sorta cute and the other ones do have character, albeit weak-looking at this point. I hope they all become healthy.  I could never do what you do because I’d get too attached to them and would never want to see them go.
    It is good work that you do and I’mglad you do it.

  3. If it weren’t for the unbelievably horrible allergies my dear husband has to long-haired cats, I’d be over there RIGHT NOW to steal all three of those little beasts. They’d totally fit in with our menagerie of weirdo creatures. :) SO CUTE!

  4. Fannie Mae looks smug - Look at me, I’ve got food all over my face!
    And TJ’s a typical little boy - covered with food.
    As for Freddie Mac… remind him not to talk with his mouth full.
    They’re CUTE! Messy, but CUTE.

  5. SO CUTE!  Poor little poopy ones.  I hope they feel better soon.

  6. They really do look better now, although Freddie Mac is still sort of “bug-eyed”.  He has a lazy eye, too.  Still, he’s cuddly and has adorable little white feet!
