Today was the day for Princess
Miya Chula Yum-
Yum's annual visit to the
Veterinarian. I can't believe she is 2 years old now.
Actually she does very well when we go here - probably because everyone tells her constantly how beautiful she is. Oh yeah - she loves to hear that! :-) I only put the name
Miya on her records but everyone knows the story of her complete name and like to talk about it. Between my research, Bentley's research and suggestions from Page and Little D, we finally agreed on a name. My friend Keith (and probably several others) thought I had lost my mind making such a big deal out of this cat's name but my hope is she will live to be the 18 to 20 years these cats are known the do and we will always be happy with her name.
I love how cautious and CURIOUS cats are! The staff was talking about how intelligent they feel cats are compared with dogs and other animals and of course I had to agree. Dogs can learn many tricks but cats don't have to. It is just that simple. Then of course, they had to clip her nails!
The indignity of it all. She does NOT like that at all. :-) Her doctor was very happy with her this visit. We talked about how she licks/pulls her hair out of her back legs but she can see no signs of her being emotionally damaged. Hello? It appears some cats have a condition with one symptom being excessive licking. She isn't making sores anymore since I increased her dosages of flea
meds so she thinks it will be fine. They took more pictures of her for their records - they really are great. Of course, she was happy when it was time to climb back into her little "cave" (carrier) and then it was my turn to have the anxiety of going to the Veterinarian! I got the bill!!!! Yikes! It costs so much - tons more than we have to pay when we go. Of course we have insurance but still - it's crazy! Between this and the flea
meds and the top of the line food and kitty litter - hello? Children didn't cost this much. Just kidding - she is worth every penny for the joy she brings me - especially when she wants to snuggle into my chest while we are watching TV and sleep there for awhile. Yum. I felt so bad today (migraine that has escalated all day) I almost asked Big D to take her but I just couldn't do it. Anytime he sees a cost of anything I purchase for or because of her, I have to listen to the craziness of spending that kind of money on a stupid cat! Yeah - Yeah - The next thing you know he is rubbing her and "chatting her up". It is better to just not talk about the costs of anything for her and then it isn't an issue - at least it isn't an issue I have to LISTEN to.

I get so frustrated with Vets! I know it takes skill and training and money to provide services, but sheeesh! It's ridiculous! It's hard for a normal person to take care of their pets the way they want to because of the amount of money involved!! So not fair!
