managed to get a vet appointment for duck this afternoon, so we can start to get rid of his completely disgusting worm issue. i came home at lunchtime to pick him up, and discovered angus with very irritated eyes -- pus-y, raw and red. thank goodness the vet had an opening right in front of duck's appointment... so both of them went in their carriers, and i carried 24 pounds of cats off to the animal hospital.

90 minutes later, i came home with 24 pounds of cats, and:

anti-worm meds for duck
anti-worm meds for angus (since they've been sharing litterboxes)
oral antibiotics for duck (his digestive system is inflamed from the worms)
eye ointment for angus (he has a feline herpes infection in his eyes)

sigh. these cats are going to HATE me for the next 2 weeks... every time they see me coming they're going to freak out and run.

i did snap some cute shots at the vet's with my iPhone though. :)

on the bench, waiting his turn... "hello, i haz a belly full of worms!"

exploring

"hey, why don't we have a sink like this at home? and why does this thermometer smell like angus's butt?"

hey, this thermometer smells like Angus.

(and yes, the vet said they could wander anywhere they wanted in the room to explore. i'm not one of those disaster pet owners who lets their pets run crazy at the vet... hee.)
