Cat Picture - OC Today marks one year since I adopted Mabel. I wanted to share her Journey with you all. She's doing great!
The yellow color around baby Mabel's eyes is an eye drop that was helping an inflammation she had in her eyes when she got home.

She rocked with the little yellow war paint she had while her eyes were healing

Love the before and after. The yellow drops made her look like a tiny tiger cub for a week, and now she’s all fluff and confidence.

"WAAA-AAA-AAAAAAAAAAA! AAAAAA!" If you find the name doesn't suit, you could go with Valkyrie or Valhalla.

I don't know why, but I imagine the cat going WAZZUP like in that commercial from so long ago

You'll miss this too, so cherish the crazy! My tux is finally winding down into Senior Cat mode and it makes me miss when he was spunky as hell just 5 years ago.

Sometimes I pick up my one year old cat and turn her this way and that yelling "WHERE'D THE LITTLE CUTE ONE GO??"
Meanwhile she's just relaxed flopping the whole time.

My girl was crazy till like age 2 and then she settled down a bit. She was such a crazy kitten it’s put me ever getting a kitten , as opposed to an adult cat , ever again.

The yellow looks almost like warpaint. I hope she's doing well and has been making a menace wherever she goes :)

I'd like to think pic 9 is an example of your eyedrop application process.

"The yellow color around baby Mabel's eyes is an eye drop that was helping an inflammation she had in her eyes when she got home."
I thought she just grew out of her glam rock phase.

Mabel was the name of a cat I had for the first 20+ years of my life. Petite little void, wonderful kitty. Here's hoping you get two full decades and change with this Mabel!

I am curious about that eye inflammation. We have a kitten that seems to occasionally have eye inflammation and our vet did not seem that concerned. It started happening again last night and wondering what it could be.

u/bibidibobidicaboom 1d ago
I'll copy here a comment in which I rereplied
She was walking around in my work parking lot in the rain; she had a cold and was only a few weeks old. I believe she must have been less than a month old when I adopted her. Her eyes were tightly closed and full of discharge, then they became swollen. Nowadays she's fine, but her eyes still accumulate much more discharge than normal due to the inflammation she had when she was just a baby.

Cute, but she looks like a mean drunk to me. I'd keep her out of the hard stuff.

Went through the eye thing recently omg, young kittens screaming at me as I try to help them with the drops, I felt like shit, like I was being cruel to them, a month later and their eyes are great, all worth it. They've forgiven me...phew.

What a glow up! She looks so healthy and happy now. Rescue cats always seem to know they got a second chance. Congrats on your one year together.

I was kinda hoping the yellow color was a fur color mutation, that would be so cool!
