spooky

You know what these little buggers are?

These little nasties are giardiases - protozoan parasites that wreak havoc on a kitty's intestinal tract.

6 exuberant kittens + zillions of giardiases = nasty mess

I spoke too soon yesterday, Belle and Ranger's homecomings have now been delayed while we work to eradicate this parasite. Seven days of administering bitter medicine, twice a day. And since the kittens have been mingling with the adult cats and using their litter boxes, the adult cats are all being treated too. Oh joy!
On a less spooky and completely unrelated note, it's halloween!  To celebrate, Laura made these chocolate cat cookies filled with peanut butter filling. Yum!


Happy Halloween!!
