Spayin' and Playin'

Saturday
12/15/2012

We took Chimay in for her spay on Thursday, and I was a little apprehensive about it, since our last two experiences with spaying recent mom-cats were challenging. Minnie felt wounded and became aggressive toward anyone who looked at her (or her kittens) sideways, and Sly and Robbie’s mom-cat Samantha nearly died from a bad case of calicivirus.

But so far Chimay seems to be recovering smoothly, even though we couldn’t give her pain meds the first night because she fled under the futon. We gave her meds Friday morning and got some nasty hissing in return, but no scratching or biting. We’ll be curious to see whether she becomes more social as her hormone levels subside.

More good news on our Brewmeister graduates arrived a couple of days ago, with this update from Alycia. She and her husband adopted Stella and Hops.

Stella and Hops now rule our roost! They are into EVERYTHING. It's pretty cute. Couldn't even make the bed last weekend because they kept jumping in and out of the sheets and blankets at every step.

Hops' little purr motor is louder than ever. He's our little dog-like guy – always under our feet and in our faces, wanting to be held and cuddled – can't get enough attention and love!

Stella is our little diva. She loves to play hard-to-get and is such a flirt.

She knows how to get our attention with the saddest, most mournful meow; and then when we go to her she dashes off down the hall only to turn around and give us a little sassy ha-ha look. It's her game, and she's the master. Too funny! She's also the instigator – prowling and pouncing on her brother at all hours and around every corner.

More confirmation that all five of Chimay’s Brewmeister kittens found awesome forever homes. It will definitely take a while longer for Chimay to do the same, but we’re optimistic.
