Don't know if everyone read my earlier post, but we have two kittles, Marari
and Mysti.  We just had Mysti spayed yesterday, and I wanted to thank
everyone for their purrs on her recovery.

She's doing great.  The vet gave us a pain pill for her to take today, half
a pill earlier today and half a pill six hours later.  Mysti is really good
at taking pills, so that went off without a hitch.  Plus, she's eating!
Candi, my wife, put Mysti up on the washing machine with some yummy wet food
and Mysti just went to town, purring so hard the washer rattled.

She's so funny when she eats.  She actually kneads the ground and purrs at
the top of her ... uh, lungs, or whatever a cat uses to purr.  My guess is
that she remembers starving as a baby and just loves to eat.  Marari has his
own bowl next to hers, and I've watched the following episode happen several
times:

Marari will be eating out of his bowl, and Mysti will come up next to him.
He'll raise his head and look at her, then move back away from his bowl.
Mysti will move over and start eating out of Marari's bowl, then start her
purring and kneading routine, utterly lost in the bliss of eating.

Meanwhile, Marari will just sit there and look at her... you can almost see
him shaking his head incredulously.  After a bit, he'll move over and start
eating out of her bowl.  Mysti just keeps on eating and kneading and
purring, completely oblivious.
