Ooh, tortoiseshells, I love them! Do they have the fabled torty skittishness? We had two torty sisters that we adopted when they were 7 weeks old; one became pretty snuggly to family, but the other was stand-offish all her life. She loved us and hung around us, but did not like to be touched.

They're both very lovey. Aggie the one looking at the camera can be skittish but in reality she wants you to follow her to Narnia aka under the bed. And will scream at you to follow! Hazel is all about playing games like the ribbon and fetch.

Has a dentist appointment today. It was meant to replace the root canal cap that was drilled through for the redo.

Nope! The office never send that request into the insurance! Thanks guys!!!

So instead we did the temporary cap for the other root canal tooth. Since that's been approved for awhile. They'll send in the request for the other tooth and bundle those two visits together (permanent crown and temp)

Mother's cat vomited again today. She's eating more because she's not scared away by other cats here, and I think it's just too much for her sometimes.
