So, Avery joined us at Rum Point this weekend and of course Richard had to take her out for a walk on the beach (as you do with your kitten). But I am not sure who was taking who for the walk!
She just needed a good roll in the sand! The result is she has been taking a bath all day!
If Richard were taking Avery for the walk, I am pretty sure under the porch would not have been on the top of his list…
Avery had her check up and got the all ok from the vet this morning. We also had her soft paw put on properly this time by them… after seeing them do it I may make a trip every 5 weeks to let them replace them! She wasn’t a very happy kitten… but did good.
Next time they will be pink with sparkles!
Avery is growing up quick… she is 3 lb now!
I first tried Soft Paws when Yabbey was a kitten and it did not go well, but I decided to give it a go one more time with Avery. Soft Paws are basically a piece of rubber that go over the claw and are glued on like a Lee Press on nail. I of course got Avery pink… what other color would you get a little girl? We watched the video off their web site and the cat just sat there calmly as they put them on. Now we knew that would not be the way it would go with Avery. I got a beach towel and wrapped her up good while Richard put the first five on. It went ok- they were not on very straight, but it went better than we expected. I think she was more upset about being wrapped in a towel than anything else!
For the other set Richard held her and I got them a bit straighter- we have to have her looking pretty for the Dr. Collin on Monday!
So, Avery is 8 weeks old now and growing so much. She even helps me at the computer during the day!
Avery really doesn’t understand the concept of relaxing… I don’t think she is much of an island cat. She has recently cut back on her sleeping and looks for new places to go and things to do most of the time.
So Avery is now six weeks old. It is hard to believe we have only had her for a week as she has changed so much!
So today is Avery’s first trip to the vet for a round of shots. As you can see from the video- she is still running around like a crazy kitten!
