Stuff on my cat

Someone sent me this link.  Just so you know, I do not plan on subjecting Apple to any of these kinds of "adventures."

Stitches removed

Apple had her stitches out on Wednesday. She is doing great. As a birthday gift to me from my sister Emily, Apple had a microchip implanted between her shoulders. If Apple gets lost and someone finds her and turns her in to a vet, they will scan her and be able to contact me.

I also received a gift from a good friend of mine - a self cleaning litter box. I haven't had time to unbox and set up the device, but in the meantime, Apple is enjoying the boxes.

Apple recovery

Apple is recovering well from her surgery, with no visible sign of infection around her stitches. She does not have the same amount of energy as before the surgery, but she gets more energetic each day.

Post Surgery

I picked up Apple from the vet this morning. She has a shaved belly and stitches from her operation. Most important, she seems to be fine. She is back home, walking a bit slower for now, but happy. She is eating, drinking, and resting.

Apple Surgery update

The Vet just called and said Apple made it through her surgery with flying colors. I had the optional blood work done and the technician said that it was the best blood test results she had ever seen. Apple is a very healthy cat.
One negative item is that Apple has more fat cells then she should, which leads the vet to predict it is easy for Apple to get overweight if I don't monitor her food intake. That is something I'll have to manage. Perhaps I will put out a set number of ounces of food per day and see how she does.
So, Apple and I have something in common - we need to watch our food intake. At least she is a very healthy cat.
I'll pick Apple up at the vet tomorrow.

Apple travels to vet (via Starbucks)

Apple is now at the Vet for her spaying. I should get a call around Noon telling me she is out of surgery and doing well.
We stopped by Starbucks this morning and Apple got to meet Alyson & Jenny.  Apple meowed the entire ride to the vet - she is not keen on car travel.  And no, it had nothing to do with my driving.

Magic Washing Machine

I was out of town for almost a week. Apple did very well, and I noticed in my absence her jumping ability has improved. Soon, I'll have to rearrange my counters to be Apple friendly.
A normal result of trip is dirty laundry. Apple was interested in this week's batch. I would let her handle some of the laundry duties, but I don't think she understands how and when to add fabric softener.
Tomorrow Apple goes to the vet for her spaying. She'll have an overnight stay. Keep your fingers crossed for both of us.
