We took Belle to her first vet appointment today. Poor thing isn't a very happy camper right now... She has ear mites so they put drops in her ears and she had to have two vaccinations. The vet doesn't seem to think she's as old as the adoptee family told us. As she only weighs two pounds, she is probably only about two months old! He agrees that she might be partially deaf but there is no way to verify hearing in a cat. Both kids came with me to the vet this morning. They were eager to participate in any way they could!
Poor ol' Belle continues to be harassed by the kids... In the most loving way imaginable! They love picking her up and holding her. All they want to do when they are home is play with her and love her. Nikolas stops her from running away or doing things like jump from high heights by pulling on her tail... Despite multiple chidings, he persists... She is resilient and tolerates it all! Though today, I think she just wants to be left alone! I don't blame her!
She now has full access to the house, for the most part. Bedrooms are still off limits. She comes running to the door to greet us when we come home. And tries to make a hasty exit! There is no "set" place that is hers yet, I am sure that will come with time. The beds the kids thought she would like have been used but sparingly.
Very sweet photos :). Hope Bela improves soon and is happier.
