Kitty update
Sep. 1st, 2007 01:46 pmIt's been a while since I mentioned the kits, and given I've been calling vets today to see about getting them neutered, it's as good a time as any.
Right now, as I type, Spike is lounging on the coffee table, looking very mellow. Angel has just chased my watch off the table (caught it half way down) and is now prowling the couch, looking for helpless to help. Or possibly something to gnaw on. *wry*
They're nearly six months old now. And huge. Not in an obese way, but in the "I've got enormous paws and long legs and big ears and now I'm growing into them" way. Contrary to their namesakes, Spike is the stocky, beefy one, not as tall as Angel but definitely heavier. He's still gnawing on me periodically - he's definitely a biter.
Angel is big as well, but in the lean, panther-y way. He's still got some growing to do, too - his paws are still too big for him, which means he tends to fall off things periodically and then try and look dignified. He's definitely become the mummy's boy, curling up in my lap whenever he can and licking my face when I'm in bed. Yes, he's a licker - where Spike will bite, Angel will lick. And he has this habit of having just the tip of his tongue pocking out of his mouth at times, which is adorable.
Spike, looking rather Jabba-like.
Angel, looking confused as he often does.
Neither is particularly smart, and right now they're in the throes of cat adolescence, which means a lot of tearing around the apartment chasing each other, much to the detriment of various possessions. However, getting them neutered should help with that, hopefully. Although, it is an expensive business. Some of the quotes, ouch! I think I've found somewhere, though - the Blue Cross Animal Hospital on Danforth Avenue. Accessible by subway, I think and at least $100 cheaper each cat than everywhere else I've contacted. Plus, there were some reasonable reviews on [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] that [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] pointed me at. So, I think I shall be calling them back and making appointments for them asap.
They drive me insane sometimes, but they are my kits, and I do love the little buggers. ;)
