No more incidents of sneezing blood, thank goodness. She's been taking her medication every day like a champ.

She had an appointment for tests with her regular vet today but she pulled a vanishing act and I couldn't find her anywhere. At one point, I had her cornered under the bed, but she gave me the slip. Since my vet's office will cancel your appointment if you're over five minutes late, I had to reschedule for Wednesday. Ten minutes after her scheduled appointment time, she came out and started walking back and forth in front of me, almost like she was taunting me.

That's a cat for you! But I love her anyway.
