August 19, 2012 - Living it up in San Francisco Like me, Caligula has really taken to his new life here in San Francisco. Most days are of a comfortable temperature and sunny!
Last year he had to get some dental work done, 3 of his 4 canines had to be removed and he'd already lost 3 of his lower incisors! Poor guy The good news is that dental disease like this is common, particularly in purebreds, and he'll do fine without those those teeth. We're supposed to be brushing his teeth regularly, but have you ever tried to brush the teeth of a cat? It happens irregularly. Since they put the cat under general during the procedure, he also had some patches of fur that needed to grow bac
Last year he also had a few vet visits to try and track down the source of his mild hyperglobulinemia (abnormally large amounts of globulins in the blood), including an ultrasound and further blood tests to rule out cancer. We're happy to report he seems fine after all that! The vets also commented on his weight (14 lbs) but we've switched him to a weight loss formula of Science Diet and he's lost a pound.
