Not Quite a Kitten

Pooky took Little Ming into the vet this morning for her spaying, and the vet gave her a quick exam. The vet says that Little Ming is about 5 months old! Which I find hard to believe because she is so tiny! The vet is basing this age claim on her teeth. Her baby teeth have come out and she's getting her adult teeth.

Which means she's going to be a small cat compared to the boys, but since she is now getting tuna (which is like a feline steroid) she may grow a little larger. One thing that a cat needs to grow is good nutrition. She won't suffer for a good meal here as I buy the expensive kibble at the pet store and make sure the food dishes are refilled every other day.

At the vet she'll be giving the full service. She'll get her shots, spayed, and will be micro-chipped to let it be known she belongs to someone. I wonder a little about her previous home, if the original owners were ever looking for her?

Now that she is at the vet's, the boys don't know what to do with themselves, so they are all laying on the floor staring blankly. Little Ming would zoom around and get them to move and play. There was almost a mutiny this morning because we had to remove all food and water for preparation for Little Ming's surgery. It was scary to wake-up to 6 hungry, demanding cats all looking sinister at us!
