Weekly thread for casual chat and photos of pets

So I've apparently got a dud cat. Four years old and the poor, pathetic dear had to have dental work yesterday. It's a genetic thing with Siamese-breed cats. Here I was hoping Lilly was enough of a mutt (tortie-point, which isn't any kind of standard) to avoid breed-specific genetic problems. But I should have known from the intense blue eyes, long legs and tail, lanky body, and distinct color points that she wouldn't get off that easily.

An hour of chasing to get her packaged and dropped at the vet, all the while listening to her folk ballad of the bloodsoaked revenge she would exact for the unspeakable betrayal of being trapped in a carrier and CAR RIDE.

Nonetheless, she came home, ate like nothing was wrong, and settled down purring.

Her partner in crime, Dash, goes in for vaccinations next week. As yet another Siamese-mix, I'm hoping he doesn't also have any exciting stuff going on, but he's Siamese enough to have slightly crossed eyes, so who knows.
