Boris's Birthday and other updates

pmantone Sep 24, 2011 04:44 PM

It was 9 years ago that I started posting in this forum - my how time flies. So I actually will have three posts so that I can add the latest pictures of my "kitty clan".

Boris is still doing well although he has officially reached the "old age" status. He still is quite active playing with Loki and my vet is very pleased that he is doing so well. Poor thing though - he has lost 3 teeth and we did not even know it. He is a very stoic kitty! The vet had to pull the 3td one - it was nothing left but the nerve and some of the root. Apparently his body thinks that his teeth do not belong there. She was the one that found that two had completely been dissolved and we did not know it since he never slowed down his eating. After the surgery to remove the 3rd tooth, he is back on track and both the vet and us keep a close watch on the mouth!

Oh yes, this is the Boris that I remember. Is he now 9 years old or is he older than that? He looks quite young. And yes, he does look like he's Russian Blue or has Russian Blue in him. Happy birthday, kitty boy.

Yes, he is 9 years old. It is very hard to believe that we have had him 9 years now.

Time's going by too quickly! My two youngest, Katrina and KatyKatt are both 12 years old now. It seems like they spend most of their time sleeping. I miss the little playful kitties that were so full of spunk but am grateful that none of mine have had any major problems yet.
