I took Annabelle to the vet this morning because I was a bit worried about her teeth (I paid $100 to be told she's fine, which: worth every penny), and got the excellent news that she has gained almost two and a half pounds in the eight months since she came home! She behaved so well, and everyone was very impressed at a) how pretty she is, and b) how l o n g she is.
She was not happy about being put in her carrier, and there was a dog barking in the waiting room that wigged her out a bit, so I tried to apologize via Churu when we got home -- she didn't want it, but as I apologized she kept rubbing against my legs, then sat down next to my feet as I caught up on work emails. Like she was saying, "well, I didn't enjoy that, but you are forgiven".
How I got so lucky as to be blessed with two absolutely amazing cats in a row, each in their own way, I will never know. But I'm so grateful.
