First of all, I am posting this from home - yes the power is back ON!!!! YAY!!!

Second - got back from the vet's about an hour ago. Sophie was fairly good. While we were waiting, she nuzzled all over me and purred like a motorboat. Guess I smelled like home. When we went into the exam room, she got nervous - I could tell because she was shaking. She did really good when the assistant came in to weigh her - she's 4.1 pounds now - and even purred some! But as soon as the vet walked in, she started hissing her little kitten hiss. The vet was really good about it, he put a little towel over her and gave her her shot very quickly. She growled while he was checking her over, but I distracted her with a half of a Whiskas Temptations. After he let her go, she hopped back in her carrier and was fine. So, no attempts at biting anyone this time, which was good.

There are two vets at my office, a man and a woman. My boyfriend said the first time he took her in, she saw the woman and was fine. The second and third times, she had the man and hissed & growled. So maybe she was just good the first time because it was her first time, but next time I'll ask for the woman vet just to see what happens.

Thanks for all the kind thoughts & concern, everyone! Her next appointment will be the week of Aug. 23rd for her spay!
