Today was Misu’s first vet appointment, at West Hills Animal Hospital, and she actually enjoyed it.  She was very calm, explored, discovered the water faucet and cat treats, and welcomed all the attention.  Here she is actually lounging around in the exam room.  She got some initial preventive care and tests, and will get spayed and vaccinated next week.  The vet, Dr. Amanda, and assistants seemed very competent and helpful, and answered all our questions.

On the other hand, the tax person we went to the other day turned out to be a big disappointment, despite her initial surface cordiality.  She was the office manager, yet she couldn’t prepare E’s return correctly or competently, and then turned vindictive when E needed to turn to her previous tax person just to resolve an Ohio school tax issue.  Even a corporate head manager had to weigh in on the matter.  It was yet another unfortunate encounter with lack of professionalism down here, similar to the healthcare ordeal we experienced.  So it’s encouraging to at least find a good vet for our cat.

It’s pouring like a monsoon out, but warm, unlike the wintry nightmare up north.  A perfect day for a worn-out cat to nap it off.  Little does she know we’ll be easing her into the indoor life a lot more from here on out.  Too many health hazards for a kitty out there.
