They are indeed ;-) Cookie was her pound name, as she had been abandoned, either just after or just before giving birth to a set of kittens. She had been at the pound for five months before we adopted her, so she had grown quite used to it and we kept it as she is a sweet little cat and it suited her.

When we decided to get another cat to play with her, we ended up with an older kitten (about four months) who was a gangly doofus. Obviously, she was fated to be Monster ;-)

And thank you! She received the all-clear yesterday, so it was just the drugs and she will have no lasting effects. Phew!
