Oh man I feel this pic. We have 3 inside and at one time 14 outside colony cats that required 2 full days of rounding them up and getting them to the vet for their 4 in 1 and rabies vaccines. Good on you for taking care of your babies.
@pixelpusher220 π€£ Oh yes, my wife stayed in the car while I was doing the way and back inside the vet office with the cages, she couldn't even manage to do a phone call because of the choir.
@sentinian Oh yes, that's why after I bought the first one, I continued with the same model for the #3 and #4. They are incredibly easy to clean and easier to monitor the cat from the top once driving. Good to know they are also good for vets. It's also great in the waiting room when the cage is on the floor to keep a visual contact with the cat from the top anytime.
The article says you had two cats to welcome Miolek. So Geuloush is the newest one? I did not see his arrival. How is his name pronounced? Gh or jj ? (you seem to only have tabbies, it's so cute)(I'm babbling, please stop me)
@lamecarlate That's right, Geuloush is a very recent one, you can read here when we adopted him and his story https://framapiaf.org/@davidrevoy/111176532486385409 , but I should transform that in a proper blog post as I did for Miolek to not forget about those details later 😅 It's pronunced Gh , as 'Gueuler' in french (to yell). He was yelling really loud the first week we met him, poor hungry abandoned thing. We call him now Vampirek, or Petit-Pirek, ou Chouquette, things that match better his temper now we know him.

I'm back from the vet this morning with an official adoption for Geuloush. He is a fully-grown male cat who has probably been abandoned by his former owners in the summer. π‘ We put notices around our house in search of them, but failed to get any feedback. The poor thing was starving and in bad shape. After a month of care, he is now loving and healthy. π He'll be neutered soon. He is an exact copy of Miolek our number 3 and here is a photo of them:
@OldAndCranky The hardest part was to quickly open all the windows of the car while driving to be able to breath, Tigrette really dropped a bomb π .
@eragon Yes. Totally different generations and habits. I'm super happy Noutti taught Miolek when he was a kitten everything about how to play and fight while he was still less than 10 y/o. Like a Jedi and Padawan, he did a good work (and probably wouldn't be able to do it now because he aged a lot and now look for calm and don't manage territory anymore). Now Miolek is double size of all the cats in the neighborhood and defends all family cats against other external cats and wild animal. π
That was my strategy too before "the great sync of all". I'm just living a bit far of the first vet office around, so I decided to optimise a bit this too. π
(edit: oh, and btw, good luck with your trip to the vet tomorrow!)
I haven't taken all of them to the vet together since they were kittens, but my last big vet visit involved five of them, which I split up with two each in larger carriers and one in a small carrier.

That's way more organized than my approach of just jumbling them all together. β
I haven't taken all of them to the vet together since they were kittens, but my last big vet visit involved five of them, which I split up with two each in larger carriers and one in a small carrier.
Even before I woke up the cats seemed to suspect something was up today, as a bunch of them worked together to pin me down in bed. Today was the big day for their cross-country road trip.
Vincent, after failing to pin me in bed, won the award for Hide & Seek Master, managing to squeeze himself behind the paint cans on a shelf in the basement where I would never have found him if he didn't give himself away.
But all the cats got loaded up into folding kennels in a borrowed van and we were off. They were all really good (as usual) and none of them even tried to escape when I was opening their kennels to check on them and give them food and water.
Fortunately they didn't spend the whole time screaming, and were stressed but quiet for the most part. It normally takes me about 9 hours to make the trek, but with extra stops to check on them and then hitting multiple traffic back-ups it took 10.5 hours :blobcatdizzy:β
But at the end they had a brand new house to explore, and they've all been going all over and sniffing and jumping on everything. Tomorrow I'll open up the catio and hopefully the squirrels will put on a show for them.
This has been a day I've been dreading for a while but it went off without any significant issues and while it was really long and exhausting now it's over.
@yudderick π Wow! Beautiful! And you are lucky they accept to share a bag together. Here only Noutti and Miolek are compatible and can sleep next each other but I wouldn't try to put them on a same bag πΊ .
@yon Thank you! The drawings are all drawn digitally with a screen tablet over the photo. But I often draw my cats like that on post-it notes and put them on the fridge to share stories to my wife.
Iβd love to have such things of my two dogs when they go to the vet. π Thank you for sharing and bringing enjoyment to others. I donβt think people are told that often enough.
We had four cats once and one of them turned absolutely demonic at vet visits. So they offered to do home visits for us. And even gave us the "litter rate"!!!! Demon kitty, however, and despite sedatives, was still a demon kitty at home, so they recommended she never see a vet unless she was clearly dying because the acute stress outweighed any benefit. (This was long ago. RIP Killer, Canton, Valatie, and Rowley. I still miss them πΏ)(Killer was demon kitty, weighing in at 6 pounds.)
@TheStephy_Chi Don't worry, I have a home in countryside at the edge of a forest. No road around, and they have super large territory. Their health and wellness is a top priority for me.
@tatianasaito That's a super service you have! Here it doesn't exist yet for pets in my part of France, except for farmers when they need a specialized vet for sheep, cows, horses. I have to drive 25 minutes to find the most nearby vet. π I'll check again next year online if this service exists in my area.

Tigrette is a sweetie, the kind of cat who can't resist to sleep on any available legs in the house. Very social, always around.
It's not the first time she pooped her cage, we anticipated that this time with a special towel. Here is a photo of her, not in the cage with Noutti, my inspiration for Carrot on my comic : https://www.davidrevoy.com/data/images/blog/2020/2020-10-25_noutti-and-tigrette.jpg
(edit: she always has this expression of an old samurai wanting to kill everyone, but she is really sweet πΊ ).

•Our household also has a giant super talkative cat.
The adoption center called him "the one with the meow". He's more recent annoying habit is he's discovered a taste for oil.

•That's way more organized than my approach of just jumbling them all together.
For my recent cross-country move I split seven cats between two pop-up kennels. (See https://toot.cat/@yudderick/111984125255970131 )
I haven't taken all of them to the vet together since they were kittens, but my last big vet visit involved five of them, which I split up with two each in larger carriers and one in a small carrier.

•The English word for a group of cats in carriers should be 'a murder' -> 'A murder of cats'.
But that words is already used, for crows.
