Sad little kittens

We’ve got three sad little kittens, and it’s not even because they lost their mittens.  Yesterday, on their 8 week birthday, we were mean and sneaky and took them to the vet for their first vaccinations, as well as tests for all sorts of initials like FIV, FLV, and FIP.  They passed their tests with flying colours, but oh, they weren’t too happy about the vaccinations.  When we brought them home they eagerly ate some dinner, but quickly they climbed into bed and slept… they continued to sleep for close to 24 hours, with just the occasional break for the litterbox, water, and a snack.  I did keep a close eye on them last night and all day, and as long as they were eating and drinking I figured they were all right.  I think they were just sore and exhausted.  Now normally, I like the idea of having exhausted kittens every now and then, but not when it’s my fault—it just made me feel guilty.  They’re supposed to have another set of boosters in two weeks, and I enquired about having them spayed/neutered, but the vet won’t do it until they weigh 4 pounds.  Right now, they’re barely 2 lbs.  I’ll try to have some current photos soon.

Btw, did you see all the amazing new species of birds and animals which were discovered in the Indonesian jungle?  Enjoy them now, before the logging companies and oil companies and all the other money-hungry folks get their grubby mitts on them and screw everything up.

  1. I know how important vacinations are.. but I always tend to worry a bit afterwards.. incase there are any adverse reactios.  Hope the three cuties are feeling better now.

  2. The kittens are fine now… it took about 24 hours, but they’re back to their normal acrobatic antics.  I felt so guilty for putting them through that, but I guess it’s part of being “a parent” smile
