They are KQ. I bought them some little mouse toys with catnip in them today. What a crack up.
Nice to hear they're already getting along. There will probably be a few more smackdowns for random reasons but not having kitty conflict is nice.
Had a scare with Ugly over the weekend, even as an old man he can't help himself and gets in fights all the time. He's been dealing with an abscess for a while now, I drained it once and it was on the mend but it flared up again and he started acting lethargic and limping. Thought the infection had crept into the joint which can get deadly really fast. Vet neighbor is of course out of town and all 3 pet ERs in the valley were overrun this weekend, refusing new patients no matter how bad the situation. I called every hour for most of Sat afternoon/night hoping they'd lift their hold but no luck.
Eventually got my hands on antibiotics (for people but the same are used for kitties) and got him started on that. Immediate improvement and he's already back to his old self. He has lost some weight over the past 3 months though and is going for a checkup next week. He's probably diabetic from years of overindulging...

Happened to our cat a few years ago and turned out it was hyperthyroidism, which is apparently very common in older cats.
Started some medicine and he’s back up to a reasonable weight. The medicine isn’t that expensive (~30 cents a day if bought from Chewy.com; from the vet it’s much more), but since it’s prescription the vet needs to sign off, and they’re going to make sure they see you once or twice a year to get their cut…
The deer are insane. They hate cats (and fox) and will go after them whenever the opportunity presents itself and since I have a lot of both it happens often.
Last night two of my cats at the barn were squaring off - hissing and howling when all the sudden a deer comes firing around the corner from the front of the barn with this look on her face like she was going to kick some cat butt. She slammed on the brakes when she saw me but stood there staring intently at the cats for some time. She was pissed.

That's way more interesting than what I got. I came home the other week to find Mayhem staring down a neighbor cat in the driveway. No noises, just hair on end. They didn't flinch when I pulled in so I opened the garage door with the remote. They startled. Mayhem scooted under a car and the other cat booked around the corner of the house.
Deer in Sisters are known to stomp down Rottweilers and coyotes. In the latter case three does pinned the ‘yote at a fence corner before delivering the whoop ass.
Kinda makes it all worth while, doesn't it?
Color me happily jealous.

I must admit, if I get to choose, I'll go short hair over long hair, but since when did the human ever get to choose the cat? Always the reverse.
