catchee kitties.

We noticed on Friday that the vets are having an amnesty for cats that have missed their annual jabs - restaet the sequence for the price of a booster. As the adults missed theirs in all the kerfuffle with Faldo, this looked like a Good Thing.

So appointments were made and the catflap closed to outbound traffic last night. This didn't stop Patchy getting out, though. But she came in about an hour ago, so the catflap is now locked both ways.

Princess made a run for it, as always, but into Marcia's study, which has only one door. So she's in a box. Patch also tried to run for it, but this morning's trick with the catflap doesn't work any more, so she's in a box, too.

The other two adults will go in this evening with Josie when she gets her checkup, but neither of them are a problem to catch.

Now: off to the V-E-T...

In fact, no-one is sure how long the protection from these injections lasts, but it is probably over two years, and most vets are quite happy to do boosters at least three months late without starting a new course. (Which is much better for the cat.)

We have delayed injecting our breeding queens for over three months, and the vets have just boostered with nary a blink.

We have to be careful with timing for the show cats, because they must be done every year within the month or there'll be a fight at vetting in (which we'd probably lose) and must be boostered at least seven days before a show if they are due.
