I had to take Lucius to the vet yesterday. I’d been a bit worried about him for a while because he hadn’t put the weight on that Severus has. They were both “poor” when I got them, not skeletal, but you could feel every rib and far more slender than 1 year old boys should be and they quickly put on gloss and condition – but while Severus is a nice weight, Lucius is “Willowy” a bit like Bowie in Man Who Fell To Earth.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

It always amazes me how alike their name sakes they are, I always saw Lucius being taller and leaner and Severus being a little on the spare tyre side because of his sedentary job.

Anyway, I was convinced he was anaemic as I compared his gums and ears with Severus and they were paler and he’d been (or so it seemed) a little listless compared with Severus.

Anyway, I think the vet thought I was a time (and KERCHING-MONEY!) waster, she said his weight is fine and his gums were ok too. (blush) He did have a couple of fleas (I don’t normally bother with flea stuff in the winter) so I got some flea stuff and she gave him a strong worm pill.

Happily, even though he had a thermometer shoved up his arse and a pill shoved down his throat he didn’t seem to take it personally and isn’t sulking. It was lovely to see Severus’ reaction when I brought Lucius back though, he positively GLOMPED Lucius and they rolled around the carpark in a most embarrassing manner.

I left them to it. It almost wants to make me write Young Enthusiastic-before-he-was-soured-by-VM-totally-in-love-with-Lucius Severus fic again. Sigh. But I won't.

Ahh, the cuteness of the Snucius!

I have ordered Standish. Amazon claim it will be delivered between 22 Feb - 7 Mar. So I will have it to take to Canada with me!

Perfect plane fodder! Shame there's no title like "The Omega Experiment" or something.

You might as well have ordered it in Canada!

[erastes.livejournal.com]

I know. I miss them.

[aunty_marion]

Well, I might, but unless I come into Serious Money, I will not have a computer on which to do it in Canada! And I wouldn't have anywhere for it to be delivered there - I'm only there for 12 days.

Poor snookums. I am amused, however, that you made a Bowie comparison.

[erastes.livejournal.com]

why amused? I've loved Bowie since before you were born!!!

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Yesah, yeah, I know. *G* I was just amused at the cat/Bowie comparison. I shouldn't be though. Not after the Snucius :P

I'm glad Lucius is ok. Some cats are just naturally thin (Louie still is).

Thanks. He's still ravenous, but he's got a lot more energy, and is bounding around all over the place and wrestling with Sevuerus all the time!

I think he'll be all right
