Meet Madeline
There is a new cat in my life. She is a three-month-old kitten named Madeline.
We adopted her a few weeks ago. She was sick for a little while with an upper respiratory infection she caught in the shelter before we took her in. One of my other cats got sick shortly after but with a gastrointestinal virus. The only cat that wasn't sick was the diabetic one. He was also the only one who didn't fight taking his meds. For a while there, "med and meal" time was a drama of eight different treatments for three different cats. What an ordeal! When I write my autobiography that will be the chapter called "My Life as a Veterinary Nurse."
Thankfully both of the sick kitties are better now. That of course means Madeline is now acting like the kitten she is -- running around the house, climbing on any and every piece of furniture, and constantly getting into trouble. Which is as it should be. I just wish I could break her of the habit of running across my keyboard on her way to the next exciting adventure.
The shelter called her breed "domestic medium hair," but she looks exotic to me. She has a really unusual face, and watch out for those ear tufts! (Who knew a cat could have such long ear hair?!)
Here's her picture so you can see for yourself:
