Love that Luna and Morcilla are such good friends. Though both have such different personalities. Luna is ALL cat, slightly aloof then wantonly affectionate, still a bit wild, with those gorgeous big blue eyes. Morcilla constantly reminds me of Azar, exhibiting both intelligence and humour, along with a PRESENCE that cannot be ignored. She’s still quite a kitten, not a year old yet, and I suspect she is going to become more and more amazing as time goes on. Watch this space!

Well this little one has sure had a week of it. First she had a bad reaction to the post-op meds, then over this past weekend I noticed that a section of her incision had opened up and was bleeding a bit. So I called Yolanda on Monday morning and was all prepared to have to bring Morcilla in, even though each trip to the vet costs me about 20 euros in taxi fare. But Yolanda surprised me by asking me to take a photo of Morcilla’s belly and email it to her, which I thought was a brilliant idea. Yolanda said she’d be able to tell by the photo if it was serious enough to warrant a visit. We’ve done this three evenings in a row now and it’s easy to see that the wound is healing nicely, and Morcilla shows no sign of infection. I’ll take one last photo tomorrow morning, which I’m sure will be fine. Good ol’ technology.

Anyhow, here is my little bright-eyed girl today just after lunch, happily curled up on my lap.
