Turning 5 (approximately 45 in cat years)

Happy birthday, Ellie & Mabel!
The girls went in for their annual health exam on Thursday. True to form, Ellie was a sweetheart. A frightened sweetheart but a sweetheart nonetheless. And Mabel, well let's just say they decided to forego the anal temperature reading and they required a stick to shove the deworming pill down her throat past her foaming mouth and pointy fangs. Neither cat took one bite or one swipe at the vet or his assistant, although some hissing and attempts to flee the exam table did occur during the visit. All is good and healthy with the girls, although Ellie MacPherson has some plaque buildup that will require an additional trip in for dental work. Our vet appeared relieved that Ellie was the one he'd be seeing again.
