Sorry it took so long to leave a random ten thread! I had to take the cats to the vet this morning and overslept. So, leave yours in comments and here’s some videos to put you in a musical state of mind. Choices picked because norbizness told me these bands are playing at La Zona Rosa in June.
Very exciting.
For those who care about the cats, they’re fine. Dusty has been sneezing some, and the vet confirmed that she has allergies, and that we now have permission to sedate her with a quarter of a baby Benadryl. Unfortunately, Molly crapped herself in fear on the way to the vet, which I think was caused as much by Dusty howling, hissing, and beating her as it was by the car ride itself. After the vet visit, Dusty was perfectly happy to get back in the carrier, but was simply not going to let Molly get in there with her, and the whole clinic heard her explain this. Which really, if you think about it, is reasonable. I wouldn’t want to be in close quarters with someone known to shit herself like that. The vet had to give me a cardboard box for Molly, which was just as well and made the ride back home relatively peaceful and shit-free.

Glad to hear your felids are doing well. My little panther just finished 3 weeks of banishment to her own room after radioiodine therapy for hyperthyroidism, and having her back in the general population (and healthy) is a great thing. I think the others are a bit disappointed they have no one to swat-fight with under the door anymore.
I’m frankly surprised you can get them both in one carrier to begin with. Separate carriers are required for mine, lest the vet have much more to deal with than a simple checkup by the time we arrive.

We would sometimes put both cats in the same carrier. It wasn’t any more difficult than getting them in one cat carrier (which wasn’t easy).
The problem was, one of them tended to vomit and/or have diarrhea in the car carrier–so we’d wind up having to clean off both cats.
1) “Petals” - Hole
2) “Forward to Death” - Dead Kennedys
3) “Carcelera/Reflejo Andaluz” - Sabicas

I saw Sons & Daughters last night. Me & about 98 other people. Sucks for S&D, great for me. Great show, really nice people. Go see them if they’re playing in your town.
They’ve never had a problem sharing a carrier before. I put them in one carrier for a 7 hour drive to West Texas once. I mean, they don’t like it, but it’s rarely a bloodsport issue.
Now they’re snoozing in the sun cuddling like it never happened.

1. Jawbreaker- “Basilica”

I tried putting both of mine in one carrier. Once. Neffy wouldn’t even talk to me for almost a week.
So now I have two carriers.
