Happy Caturday, Jas!
I was not cooperative when I had to get medicine, liquid or pills. Coco is the same way. Mom never had a pill popper. At some point, she gave up with pills and always got liquid meds because it wasn't quite as hard to get down us. She uses a syringe or a dropper.

Hello Jason! Mum thinks that Possum has anxiety disorder because he can't be locked up in a house. When you put him in a cage, he will struggle till he is in the cage. Both Gaby and Possum travel in their own cage. It sounds like Gaby gets used to travelling in a cage and so she is not vocal. Possum cries like a baby waiting for needles. He clinged on mum a lot before we dumped him into the cage. Of course, he scratched mum's shoulder. Momo and I are very cooperative when getting into cages. So, we are thinking of taking Possum to feline court for causing public nuisance

And I'm harder to catch to give medicine to than Felix was because I'm little and can move fast and find places to hide! *giggles*
Hi, Jason! Happy Caturday!

A cat that Grandma used to have (his name was Jack) was like Possum. He was normally a laid-back, good natured cat, but if you put him in a cat carrier, he went crazy. He wasn't used to it.
I'll struggle a little when Mom puts me in my carrier, but once I'm in it, I'm calm, even though I'm not too happy about it. I'll cry a little, but that's it. Felix was the same.

The vets are very experienced. When we took Gaby and Possum for health check and vaccination, the vet will know it would be easy to feed possum tablets. He just press Possum's jaw and he would open his mouth. The vet then just drop the tablet in his throat and task completed. The vet can tell Gaby is difficult to feed tablets. So he will go to find a pill popper before he comes back and feed Gaby

After a trip to vet, mum will feed fancy feast royale to Gaby and Possum to reward them. Do you have treats after being cooperative with your mum and the vet?

Yes, Mom rewards us with treats after a vet visit. Even though I wasn't cooperative about getting meds, I behaved pretty well at the vet. Coco, too.

Ah... our neighbour living opposite to us has got a "Coco". "Coco" went out to the front yard one day. Gaby went there to interact with her. Gaby did not have a negative impression of her and so she did not arch her back and had a bushy tail.

I know Felix can chase after intruders at the back door. How about Coco?? Do you hide away?

I think you mentioned your "Coco" last weekend. That's good that they weren't hostile to each other. Has Gaby seen her anymore since their first meeting?

Momo, the only intruders I chase after are bugs and spiders, or a lizard, if one happens to get in. If I see a cat outside I sit and watch them and sometimes paw at the glass.
When strange people come in my apartment I run and hide.

We are not sure. But last night, possum came back with a scratched nose bridge. In the scratch, there were 2 holes. Mum wonder how possum got the scratch because he is friendly to every one. Mum cleaned the wound with salt water and Possum was very cooperative again to get his wound cleaned. Are you guys cooperative when getting your wounds cleaned??

Coco, what do you mean by pawing on the glass?? Are you greeting the intruders??

Mom thinks I'm trying to greet them or play with them.
I'm sorry Possum got hurt. I hope his nose is better. Neither Felix nor I are very cooperative about being "doctored." But I'm more cooperative with the vet than with Mom. I guess because I can't easily get away like I can at home.
Yes, we had better be going so Mom can get to bed. Thanks for coming over here for the party tonight! We'll be doing it through July 4, so if you and your sibs have another chance to stop by, please do.
Good night, all!
