Taki went to the veterinarian today, for her first check up and inoculations. I used a crate for the car, but when we got into the waiting room at the veterinarian's, she started to squeak. So, I took her out and held her. The staff were enamored of her, especially because she still looks half like a waif: she has newborn fur on part of her body, and her whiskers are chopped short, and I do not know why. She is not fluffy.
On the other hand, her weight is on target for a kitten her age. Except for her fur, her developmental milestones have been met on target.
I was advised to wean her from "bottle feeding" which is still medicine dropper feeding (with warm milk, even room temperature is too cold for her.) Otherwise, she is doing well. And, I did purchase some Science Diet kitten food, which she did not seem to like as much as the Fancy Feast kitten food. But she ate it.
Her markings are beautiful, and according to the veterinarian technician, qualify for a blue seal point Siamese (is that right?).
She did not object to the examination, and was generally well behaved. We have another appointment in 3 weeks.
