Maggie is our oldest kitty and we got her 2 weeks after we were married. She is my first born because she is my first EVER cat. Maggie was a sweet kitten until she had to be de-clawed due to scratching the brand new dining room table. I truly believe it changed her personality. She no longer tolerates visitors much less strangers feeding her. Note: anyone is a stranger than is not Mister or Miss Chris. Mister Chris convinced me that Maggie is just not normal and that we should get another kitten. I also needed a back up kitty because I became very attached to Maggie.
In comes Sophie. Sophie is just over a year old. She was monitored since she was born into a friend’s kitty family. Our friend chose this kitten for us to take. She said Rolly (Sophie’s original name) was very affectionate and quite normal compared to Maggie. With that said I had to take Sophie home. She is a very loving cat and is the exact opposite of Maggie. She will sit in my lap and cuddle up to me to take a nap. Right now she is sitting on my desk watching me type. I think she’s a little sleepy. Sophie has never met a stranger and was quite the hostess when we sold our house. Maggie of course detests her presence and they do not get along.
Since Sophie came into our household, Maggie gained 4-5 pounds by eating kitten food. She now weighs almost 15 pounds. Sophie was the runt of the litter so she barely weighs 8 pounds. Other than Maggie being over weight she is a very healthy kitty. She goes to the vet once a year, to get her shots. On the other hand, Sophie is a frequent visitor to the vet. She has been diagnosed with numerous conditions, infections, etc. For example, she originally had herpes, yes herpes. It is a little different from human herpes. Kitty herpes is a respiratory condition that develops when they are quite young. She has also had ear mites, acne (yes acne – am I crazy for believing this?), skin conditions galore and allergies. She has been prescribed antibiotics, steroids, ear drops, eye drops, pastes, shampoos, liquid allergy syrups and a hypo-allergenic diet. Not to mention cleaning her chin with peroxide. She has been to the vet at least once a month since February. Do you know how expensive that is? Perhaps I should get a 2nd opinion. I thought strongly about this until a couple weeks ago. I have discovered that giving her a daily bath works wonders. You probably think I am crazy since cats hate water. But Sophie is amazingly patient and I know she feels much better awards. Just take a look…..

Also here's a picture after she gets her ear drops and goes into Yoda mode.
So now Sophie’s routine is down to her special allergy food, one steroid tablet every other day, ear drops and her daily baths. My little angel is all worth it. I will have to get pictures of Maggie off Mister Chris’s computer to post later (as long as my dell does not catch on fire in the meantime)!!

AWWWWWE! She's gotten so much bigger since the last time I saw her! Such a cutie. You're a GREAT kitty mommy to take care of her so well.
Um, Buddha was the runt of his litter and weighs a healthy 15 pounds now...
Buddha is healthy like Maggie. I can't not take care of her because she gets to the point where she is absolutely miserable and won't stop scratching herself. But it's so fun to give her the ear drops. Her Yoda impersonation makes me laugh every time. Then afterwards I have to go spend time with Maggie and play with her. She cannot be neglected.
Cool story you got here. It would be great to read more about that matter. Thanks for sharing that information.
