Sophie had her first check-up since "the incident" last Friday and the vet is very pleased with her progress. There is still a little knot on her tummy under the massive bite mark, so she is on antibiotics to make sure there's no infection. She goes outside every day, but only under adult supervision lest she decide to take on another unfriendly critter. She is very playful and her appetite is certainly back. The Fur on the other hand is apparently starving—starving for attention, starving for cat food, starving for praise. We are trying to give them equal attention, but she is having a tough time since she is so used to being an only pet. She does seem to find The Mew pretty entertaining though, and I think they will become friends very soon. Sophie has also acquired some new nicknames. We debated changing her name to Ocho since she used up one of her nine alloted lives on 08/08/08 at 8am. (Terrence suggested that we make it The Ocho, ala Dodgeball.) Mostly we have been calling her The Mew though. Stay tuned for the further adventures of The Mew and The Fur.
