Kitten Update

Smoky had her first vet visit for a round of vaccinations and a clean bill of health. The vet techs enjoyed saying her name repeatedly. She’ll need to be back soon for boosters, and again to get spayed.

They also gave us a Purina-branded “new kitten” welcome box, with some brochures, a sample bag of cat food, and accessories like a measuring cup, silicone can cover, and grooming brush. Weirdly missing: kitten toys. (Although the box eventually became a toy itself.)

She’s gone on adventures onto the shoe bench, the sunny deck, the Corsi Cube, and my shoulder:

Amelia’s getting used to having her around and doesn’t mind sharing her spot on the armchair or on the bed.

True to her name, Smoky really does look like a little puff of gray smoke.

I continue to add more photos of Smoky to her kitten album on Flickr.
