Here is our sweet girl, Miko, at the vet this morning. All three kitties went in for their annual shots and checkup. Normally our kitties are pretty shy at the vet, opting to stay in their carriers for as long as possible. Not Miko. She ventured out today, rubbing up on all of the corners of the exam table, jumping up on top of it all by herself. She's such a good little girl.
Here's a shot of her venturing out on her own. What you might notice if you click on the picture to enlarge it is that our two other cats (Beans and Felicia) have crammed themselves into the larger travel crate. That's right...the sworn enemies actually chose to be together. I guess if scared enough, kitties will forgive each other's differences and hunker down together.
Here's a shot of the typically 'macho' alpha kitties snuggling together. They look so embarrassed to be seen with one another. Hahahah! Busted!
As soon as we got home, these two got in a few hisses and swats at each other just to prove that they still don't get along. Whatever...I know the real story...they are both cowards!
The good news is that all three kitties are an acceptable weight for their size. Beans weighs between 14-15 pounds (down from 18 at one point in his life). Miko is about 11 pounds. Felicia is just under 10. I guess being vigilant at mealtime to ensure Beans and Miko don't get any of Felicia's food has paid off. That, and being in a larger house with stairs allows for lots of kitty playing, running, and climbing to work off the extra weight.
We go to Arbor Animal Clinic. I used to work there when I was in college, and they took great care of Beans when he was hit by a car as a kitten. We love them there!!

A good vet is worth their weight in gold. I love mine. Meesha hates going to the vet and is so badly behaved they have to gas her to give her a shot. Thus if she needs something, I call them, tell them what the problem is and then I go by and pick up the appropriate treatment without taking Miss Meesha!
