This deaf girl is the only cat who has ever arrived at our house already spayed. (Her left ear was tipped by the vet who did it as proof. We tried finding her people, but no one stepped up. She's been here for several years now. ) She had a large abscess on her neck was but very good about getting it treated and loved being held then. Post healing, she can be very moody and usually prefers to be left alone. She does enjoy being vacuumed with the brush attachment, but doesn't much like being combed. Meow... :)
