Finn's First Visit to the Vet
We brought Finn to the Vet for the first time today. I was actually a bit apprehensive about it, because it was my first time to personally bring a pet to the Vet. But the Vet (Doc Kathleen) was really nice and answered whatever questions we had.
Finn was really uncomfortable about it and would keep on squirming when we would hold her. Especially when we had her nails trimmed and when the Vet gave her a dewormer. Afterwards, she just hid inside her cage with her ears down and her teeth bared – her defensive stance.
Doc Kathleen mentioned to us that Finn might have ear mites, so we have to observe her ear discharge for a few days. We’ll be bringing Finn to her again very soon to have her vaccinated and everything. Hopefully, she’ll be more behaved this time around.

Finn's New Home
Finn moved in to my place last May 29. The moment we set her down in my room, she started sniffing around and exploring her new home. When she got bored, she settled down underneath my bed and refused to come out. Until I brought out her food, of course.
It used to be really hard to get Finn to stay in bed. Now I find it hard to get her off my bed! In fact, the other night, she positioned herself right in the middle and would not budge. I’ve got cat fur all over the place so I wouldn’t be surprised if I go to the office with fur on my clothes or hair. LOL!
It’s really quite an experience having a cat at home. It’s really amusing to watch her climb into my closet or watch her sleep all curled up into a little ball with her paw over her eyes. I love coming home and cuddling her (even for just a few seconds) in my arms. Even cleaning her litter box isn’t so bad. I haven’t tried bathing her because I’m still waiting for the shampoo I ordered. But I’ve tried cutting her nails and successfully trimmed one!!! LOL! It’s really a big deal for me, because normally, she wouldn’t even let me get anywhere near her paw.=)
Both of my siblings really like Finn because she’s so cute and well behaved. We’ve got two cat-lovers in the making! Hopefully, Finn will stay with us for a long time.
