"Wanted to thank you and let you know the boys are home and safe. Merlot has been a wildman, always running and exploring. I am a little worried about Nero, he seems pretty listless and is drinking alot of water. He purrs and he has eaten so I'm hoping it's just the combo of jet lag, wormer and getting sick yesterday. I probably just worry too much. I'll keep you posted."

Our theory was that Nero was having a reaction to his final kitten vaccination; vaccination can often cause listlessness during the first 24-48 hours after administering.

"We're happy to report that Nero has made a complete recovery! After a good nap all yesterday afternoon he seemed perkier and by this morning he had his whole body in the food dish and spent most of the day tackling his brother. We all feel much better now. They are getting brushed alot and snuggled when they slow down enough. "

"Just wanted you to know the boys are growing like crazy and doing really well. They are so much fun and are great guys. They have climbed their first tree and love running like wildmen through the garden. We are so happy that they are here with us. Nero-Quigley is now Gus and Merlot is Buzz. We tried on alot of names but those just seemed to fit."
