Well that is her name in my head anyway. I call her Claire after the female main character in Outlander. (I also have a cat named Adso after Claire's cat) She is 9 months old which is way later than I would have a cat spayed but the low cost clinic was closed the Christmas week and you have to drop the cat off the day of and then pick up the next day. Um I'm at work at 7am so I can't drop her off at 8. I can only do that when I'm off from work. I just went to call for a spring break appointment and. . . they were closed. Ugh. I'll have to remember to call on Monday when they are open. She hasn't gone through a heat yet *thank Darwin* but it has to be coming soon. The 2 male cats here are neutered so I'm not worried about kittens but I don't want to have to hear that howling and every heat increases the risk of cancer for females.

I love that you call her that, even if it is just in your head. With Sadie, the rescue who initially found her supposedly had her spayed, but the day after I got her, she started bleeding. Long story short, after several incidents they were convinced she still had an ovary remnant, and I was told I’d have to see a specialist vet to get it taken care of. Uh, mama don’t have that kind of money. Saw a different vet, and they concluded it was a UTI no one had ever given her a long enough course of antibiotics. Boy, I took you on a journey you didn’t ask to go on. I hope you find a time to take her that is convenient.

@AmbiePam yeah he had a PU (perinural urethrostomy) after $2800 to unblock him and then he blocked again the very next day. He is a great cat though so I put up with it.

She's adorable. She looks a lot like my Fred but with more fur.

Her tail is insanely fluffy. Think of a cat that gets spooked x2. That's what it looks like all of the time.

@NJChicaa My Sonny James- big guy in my photo- had a tail that had two wide parts to it. Like a black fan on his rump.
