We brought Leiki into the vet yesterday for a check up because she has tapeworms and we needed meds for them. Since our vet has never seen her, we had to bring her in for a visit to get the meds.
She did wonderfully! She laid perfectly still on the scale so they could get her weight (4.6 kilos) and then she just laid on the table while the vet examined her. She did not like getting the thermometer stuck up her butt much, lol, but she was a good girl for that too. The vet commented on what a pretty cat she is and said she hasn't seen a cat like her before. She wasn't too happy that Leiki is declawed, but since we didn't do that she wasn't mad at us. Her teeth are perfect and she said that she's very healthy. She also said that she has a bit of the siamese "googly eyes", lol, I jokingly asked her if that was a technical term. Anyways, she's very happy with Leiki and just adores her. She also pilled her for us for her first worm tablet, which Leiki was also very good about. We have another tablet to give her in 2 weeks.
I made the comment that it was nice to have a cat that eats on her own, because we were force feeding Stan for the last 3 weeks of his life (we had only had him for 2 months total). She said that she's happy that we have a healthy cat now and that Stan was very sick and we did everything that we could have for him. She looked like she was going to cry, which made me almost cry. We still miss Stan a ton, he was the perfect cat for us and had such an personality, but we're trying not to compare Leiki and she's doing very well here and fitting in too. It's just a bit different going from an 8 year old male to an 11 month old female that's slightly crazy, lol.
