I took Pip to the vet today, he's a he. He also has fleas and intestinal worms, and is anemic. Anemia is a side effect of having parasites. So, now I've got Advantage 9 for him, and Advantage 18 for Blur. I need to rid both of them of fleas, although I don't think Blur has fleas. It's all part of the comprehensive attempt to rid my house (their environment) of fleas. I'm also supposed to vacuum every day to get rid of the dead fleas and flea eggs.
I've also got vitamins for Pip. And he's on Drontal (deworming medicine for cats). So, hopefully, within the next few weeks, he'll be healthy, and then I can allow him to meet Blur!

poor Pip, having fleas AND worms AND anemia! Hope his little body copes with it all (and with the medication, which can sometimes be tough too). Give him skritches and some yummy treats -- from here I can only send virtual internet fishies.
Btw, I think you have to be a cat person to appreciate the revelation in your sentence "he's a he".
Greetings to you, Blur & Pip from A.
p.s. I had a good look at Blur's photos, quite the handsome gentleman!
