Not too long ago, my husband was sitting at the computer missing our cat, Chopin (who doesn't live with us because he doesn't like apartments), when all of the sudden a little white head popped up on the other side of our patio. A cute little fuzzy has come to live with us. I have posted signs but cannot find a previous owner, so we have adopted him. I have been lurking here to learn more (he is actually my third fuzzy), but we're about to leave for the Christmas holidays to visit our families and Chopin. I intend to take little Moti-Mo to the vet, but I was wondering if there are any specific diseases that I should have him tested/innoculated for to ensure that Chopin cannot catch anything from him. I would venture to say that Chopin has had more money spent on him at the vet in his two and a half years than I have had at the doctor in 21 years--in other words, we're very over-protective and would be devastated if anything happened to him. Also, he tends to sleep A LOT--is this normal? My other fuzzies (granted they were babies and I don't know how old Moti-Mo is) were constantly doing something. One more question, can a vet tell me an approximate age? Thanks a lot, Shellie, Jonathan, and Moti Mo [Posted in FML issue 1407]
