trip to vet

[cellio]

Successful this time, fortunately. Embla was clever in dodging capture; at one point I was approaching her in the dining room (on my way to closing the door to keep her there) when she bolted for the door. I closed the door and proceeded to search for her in the halls and kitchen (all other doors were closed by then). Apparently she had not really bolted out the door; she was in the dining room, hiding on a window sill behind the curtains. Smart cat. :-)

Current weights:
Baldur: 18 lbs 11 oz
Embla: 10 lbs 14 oz
Erik: 9 lbs 8 oz

Baldur no longer weighs as much as the other two put together. So there. :-) (Erik is still underweight, but they gave me a sample of some food that he really likes, so maybe we can finally fix this.)

Sigh. I miss having kitties.

Is someone in your house allergic, or is it a landlord issue?

The landlord (Don) is highly allergic. So it's both. :)

Oops. I forgot that he was allergic. I figured it was possible that he just didn't want animals in his nice new house.

For some reason I thought Erik was bigger than that. He's only 1 pound heavier than Sinbad!

[cellio]

Erik is a skinny little thing, yes. He doesn't look especially skinny (though he's obviously not fat), but if you pet him lightly you feel bones. He ought to weigh about 11 pounds, I'm told. There's nothing medically wrong with him that the vet can find; he just isn't as interested in food as he should be.
