All my cats get annual exams, which is why I eschew the rabies clinics even though they are extremely cheap. They are cheap because all you get is a poke!

Your kitty was very lucky to have ear mites without you knowing it. I say this because they cause intense itching and many cats will scratch until they bleed.

I'm glad Snow Cat came through okay. Of course, when he wakes up and realizes what you've done to him........
