Arwen, The Cat

As I mentioned on my previous post, we got a new kitten on Labor Day. She is a ball of pure energy.  Arwen (the new kitten) and Mocco (our older cat) like scratching and destroying our house.  To help ease this problem, I made a new scratching pole for them.

On Sunday (Sept 13th) we had her spade.  That made her very mad and we paid for it for the next 24 hours.  She started licking the incision and we went through many difficulties and a sleepless night trying to get her contained.  Finally, in the middle of the night, we managed to wrap a large wool sock around her neck to prevent her from licking the would.  We had her contained in a pet carrier, and the cat turned into “catzilla.”  Ana stayed home with her on Monday, while the rest of us went to work and school.

She is now doing great; and the incision is healing up nicely.  As for us, we are still tired!
