Reno has been ill, but had a big breakfast today.
Vegas has been sick too. She also had a big breakfast today.
The sin city girls (Reno and Vegas) are feeling a bit better I think, but we had some rough days. They both stopped eating, and were getting dehydrated. I had some appetite stimulant pills left over from the Cougars and Little un's, so I gave the girls a couple of doses. Well, I have explained before how it makes them drool, and the taste must be terrible. The girls hated it. The drool was unreal. We did eventually take a trip to the vet, where they both got a shot of antibiotics, and I refilled my coffers with lactated ringers (Fluid Bag) and butterfly needles. The vet gave them both a pill for their appetites that should last a couple of days. I know they are happy about that.
This morning I toyed with the idea of giving them both a squirt of Nutrical. It's a supplement that is full of calories, and helps them mantain weight while they are fighting this upper respitory infection. I got the syringe out (That I was using to give them the appetite stimulent) and when I got near them with it, much like Pavlov's dog, they both started drooling! I decided to forgo it for now, since they both ate a good deal this morning. Hopefully, they will eat again this afternoon, and again this evening.
The rest of the circus seems to be holding their own. Let's hope that trend keeps up!
Colonel looking defiant.
Dallas has a very similar look. If he was white, they would look like twins!
Major is much bigger than his sisters, much like Johnny Cougar was bigger than his.
The "phantom" Colonel scares Major.
Albany strikes a pose.
Sergeant looks like he wants to attack...

Poor babies. The Sin City girls look like thy don't feel well. The rese are so fun to watch play!
As always, fingers crossed for the girls for a quick recovery!
OMG, Jamie!! Seeing the pics of Colonel and Dallas, one after the other with those expressions, made me think, "She has her own Ceiling Cat and Basement Cat!" I can see them squaring off in the battle between... well, cute and more cute!

I can imagine sitting and watching those kitties all day! I wouldn't get any house work done ~ the 'dust bunnies' will still be there tomorrow! I hope your kittens get feeling better.
Well, the sin city girls are still losing weight, and poor Vegas seems to be nauseous. She is gagging a lot, and still not eating much. Reno is eating a bit more, and I hope she is going to turn the corner soon. If anyone has any suggestions, I am happy to hear them!
I have seen the ceiling cat/basement cat references may times! They are the purrfect candidates! LOL!
