Creepy Vet Adventure
One last kitten tale: I took the new kitten to the vet today for his two-week post-adoption check-up. And guess what? He has a minor case of ear mites in one ear.
Ever seen an ear mite? The vet let me look at one under a microscope. It's not an exaggeration to say that I may never sleep again. At least not without having first jammed cotton balls in my ears. And then covered them with duct tape. And ear muffs. And then a very tight-fitting hat. And then a 10-mil plastic bag in which I've cut a small -- very small -- breathing hole. And then placing my entire head in a NASA helmet. And then staying up all night anyway.

Did he tell you about the 3am hairball thing yet ? No ? Probably a wise idea.
