Leo the Part Time Indoor Cat. |
The other two cats, Oreo and Rocket, are from across the street, where the owners have had them fixed at the very least. The kids play with them and they occasionally ( more frequently now that they discovered we offer better food) come over to our apartments for some play time and nibbles.
But Leo, is not fixed. A Fully functioning male cat, he was gaining "war scars" from other cats as time went by. And with the weather turning colder, I wanted to see if he had the potential for being indoors. It was strange, because he got along very well with our cat ( Hiro) and Rocket. He was also a very cuddly, love bug to me and Cheryl. ( And no cats like cuddling with Cheryl!) He did bump heads a few times with Oreo. Oreo ( the black and white cat,) Is a little "rough" around the edges. He had tore me up, Attacked Hiro, Rocket, and Leo. However, Each time, Oreo has learned who not to mess with. But I digress...
Looks humble, and right next to a porn shop! But inside was state of the art! |
Well, I se up the appointment for the 6th of December. ( Right in the middle of Stocking rush!) And had to wake up at 5 AM and drive Leo 1.25 hours away to Cedar Rapids for his little visit. He was quiet as a mouse the entire trip. It was a little scary for me.... I felt like was was somehow, betraying him.
I then had return to get him. They closed at 4:30 P.M. In addition to the surgery, I got a flea treatment, Worm Treatment, Rabies, and distemper shots. All for $70! They also gave him a bath and a treat.
Ah! The Great Outdoors... He doesn't mind the cold with that huge Fur coat. |
Oh! And we are not final on the name. Cheryl has been calling him "Wooly Bear" and I call him "Kitten" and "Fluff Ball" He does not respond to any of those names. ( Including Leo!) We shall see which one sticks and I will have to update the blog then. We shall see.
