Lucifer the red cat

[rusty_halo]

Lucifer had a follow up vet visit today (to test his kidneys again 3 months after the not-great results came in.)

We saw a different veterinarian than before and, as usual, the vet marveled at how calm and friendly Lucifer is.

The funny part was that he also seemed awed and fascinated by Lucifer’s fur. Lucie is black and white, and as he gets older, the black is turning red. His mom was a black cat and the same thing happened to her when she got older.

This vet said he’s seen thousands of cats and he’s never seen a red cat before. He was really marveling about it, like, “Where did he come from???”

So apparently Lucifer is some kind of genetic freak red cat from the wilds of suburban New Jersey… ;)

I would love to see a picture of him. The new red him, I mean.

I'll try to get a good one in the sunlight tomorrow. (It's dark now so the red doesn't show as much.) :)

I found some after all! Just posted. :)

I'd love to see a pic of him too! And I hope his results are better this time. That must be pretty nerve-wracking for you.

I just posted a few. :)

I'm worried, but the vet said from the exam it seems like he's doing really well, so hopefully the bloodwork will say the same...
