Miranda went in for her annual shots yesterday. She was an angel, as
usual: completely silent all the way on the bus, came out of the carrier
and cowered (poor baby) on the examining table - weighed in at 3.4 kilos
(about 7.5 lbs), exactly the same as last year - gave a little kick when
the vet gave her her shot, and then quietly went back into the carrier.
She just quietly submitted to everything the vet did, like looking her
over before giving her the shot. Apparently she has a little tartar, but
not enough to warrant a cleaning. The vet told me I wouldn't have to
bring her back until next year for her shots, and we'll see if the
tartar has built up.
She is soooo much easier to take to the vet than Caliban. She sat
quietly in her carrier all the way home, too, and seemed to forgive me
immediately when we got home. Unless maybe I find something wet and
squishy in my shoe a week from now. ;)

When they're so meak and mild like that it makes me feel more guilty than
when they make a fuss.

We, meaning I, have to take Missy for her annual checkup in a month
or so. I would gladly feel guilty if she is meek and mild but I don't
have to worry about that. I do have to worry about going to the
emergency room if "Hisser at Hoomans" gets a good whack at me.

I think she is so easy to handle, partly because she and her siblings
had to visit the vet quite a few times when they were small, so got used
to it, and partly because they were hand-fed (Kira didn't have enough
milk for her kittens), so they got used to being handled all the time.
At first, they were also being raised to be show cats, so handling was
part of their upbringing.
