Our three are going for blood tests tomorrow!
Please think of us at 9.10 am tomorrow as we stuff three grumpy MCs (well, they will be when they see the cat carriers) into the car to take them for their blood tests.
This is to see what their titres are like, following Alice's FIP.
The vets want these tests to establish a base-line; we then take them back in 3 months for a second go at the tests - hopefully the titres will be lower and then we can have them all vaccinated (vet won't do these until he is happy with their antibody levels). Also, we can then think about getting another kitten.
There will never be a replacement for our baby Alice, but Hobbes really does need another (younger) playmate - he has exhausted Spike and Whisper this weekend

Oh yes, this was great fun! We had three disgruntled cats, much! We weren't sure whether they should have anything to eat or not, so decided on "not", and took their grazing bowls up last night.
Hobbes got crammed into one of the regular sized carriers (note to self: buy larger carrier soon) and wailed and wailed. Stuffed his paw through the mesh at the front and waggled it in desperation, then tried to dig his way out through the bottom.
Spike came downstairs and then went back up as soon as he saw his (giant) carrier. Got him in there in the end.
Whisper went in as she always does, with a whimper and a resigned look, bless her.
We did check their weights - Hobbes weighed in at 5.6kg, Spike is too embarrassed to confess his here
, but the weight of cat and carrier combined came out arounf 15.4kg. Whisper is a slender 5kg,but then she has always been "small"
Bloodwork should be back by the end of the week, we hope. Keeping fingers x'd that their titres are low enough for them to be vaccinated and for us to look for a buddy for Hobbes but it is most likely that we will have to wait 3 months and get them tested again!

Thanks for your kind thoughts, guys - let's hope it is good news, the two "oldsters" are finding Hobbes a bit "active" LOL!
