We had to take the cat in to the vet on Monday morning for a blood test (routine monitoring of her thyroid condition: she’s fine! yay!) and she dealt with it the way she usually does, by going immobile with fear, which is so sad but also so good because then she doesn’t scratch anybody and it all goes well.
anyway. this week she’s been very snuggly because it’s cold. she likes to sleep between our pillows, with her body on my arm and her back on my face.
at least once per night I notice that one of the vet techs who held her on Monday definitely had recently applied vanilla-scented hand cream.
it is fading, gradually, and mostly she smells like herself now, but it was a thing i noticed every night without fail all week.
… shouldn’t my cat be better at bathing herself than that? but maybe it was just really strongly-scented hand cream.
also i do take a moment to be grateful I’m not allergic to cats pretty much every time because I realize that I’m literally breathing air filtered through my cat’s fuzzy butt in order to be able to smell this. if i reacted to cat dander i would not have survived Chita’s kittenhood, which she mostly spent on my face. some cats are face cats and she is a face cat.
on a completely other note, i took the best selfie ever today with a terrible-quality cellphone clip-on lens.
Best likeness ever. New profile pic?
