Presenting the newest member of the family: Pimenta

[Lucho]

Ok, the surgery ended up on Sunday instead of on Friday. Pimenta underwent the procedure without problem. But on the seventh day (right before she was scheduled remove the stitches) she decided to escape the surgical clothes and pass five hours jumping and running and wrestling with Pantera. The result is a buildup of fluid around the stitches. Basically harmless, but now Pimenta must wait to remove the stitches (as a precaution, not because of a real medical issue)..

Typical behaviour of a teenager- she couldn't wait one more day so now she must wait another week



Photo taken today- Pimenta is growing, but still has that kitten face

Oh Pimenta, you were so close! Now you have to wait another week for those stitches to be removed. Those days will fly by fast, you are a kitten after all and always busy.
Take care, beautiful girl!

Pimenta is adorable, thanks for giving her a home.

Pimenta is gorgeous! Reminds me of Sprinkles that I had when I was a kid.

What a sweetie! That new photo is gorgeous. And what a mischievous sweetie, too. Pimenta, you need to take it easy for the next week!

Lucho, can you keep her in a room away from Pantera for the time she has to wait, so she won't be tempted to go running wild again?

We're sending loving good wishes and hopes and prayers that all goes well!

@Phesina: Interestingly, it wasn't Pantera's fault: She seemed to recognize the stitiches, and kept her distance. But Pimenta can't sit still for five seconds, and soon began to provoke her larger sister Who, after having had enough nonsense, responded in kind

Anyhoo, Pimenta ended up with the stitches for double the usual time, but they've come out and her case is officially closed. She never had any complications, but is more reckless than even I am

now at eight months old (give or take a couple of weeks) Pimenta continues to grow. But instead of getting bigger she's getting longer; if she ever fills out like Pantera did, she's going to be enormous

Aw shes beautiful! going to be giving Pantera competition on whos posing for the camera

So an important day in Pimenta's life is arriving: she did the exams at the vet yesterday and this friday, barring any surprises in the exam results (extremely unlikely), Pimenta will be spayed. She is now approx. seven months of age, and we wish to avoid waiting too long as we did with Pantera (seven months is a bit late as it is). Given her general health, she should go through this phase with little difficulty.
