I was calmly playing with my toys when Mom got home from work. She walked in all nice and friendly and stopped to talk to both Hemingway and me. Next thing I knew, I was at the doctor lady’s house again!
I was thinking that if I jumped in that little box thing, I could weigh as much as Hemingway! Mom was happy though ‘cuz now I weigh 2 1/2 pounds so I’ve gained some.
I don’t like what you wrote on that paper so I’m leaving!
Do you really have to gang up on me???
Can someone come rescue me?
So, the doctor lady and Mom talked. I had been sneezing and the doctor lady said I have an upper restory infection. Is there such a thing as a lower restory? Anyway, I got some meds and so far I’m taking them real good for Mom. The doctor lady said she was real glad my lungs were clear and that I didn’t have nomeenomah…..or something like that. Hemingway and I both have to take some meds for parasites and for this bacteria thing. Hemingway is fine but the doctor lady said he could catch things from me. Believe me, I’m not throwing anything at Hemingway!
So, they took a picture of me after they cleaned my ears. They said they wanted it for my file at the clinic. They even sent the picture to Mom and when she saw it, she laughed. She said I look like ET!!! Who’s ET????
Mom says she’s never seen me look so grumpy and she thinks the helicopter ears are silly.
SO DO I!!!! They better plan on taking a better picture of me so all the other fur people don’t laugh at me!!!!

Get well soon, Steinbeck. Remember to get some rest and drink lots of water.
Please explain “rest” to him. Love, Hemingway!
I hope you feel better soon. And you are way cuter than ET
Thank you. Mom says I don’t act sick at all so that’s a good thing!
Poor little baby! Get Mommy to kissie you a lot. That helps!! You maybe can work it a little and get you AND your sibling some nice treats! Hemingway will love you more and Mommy will feel better giving you both treats.
I will tell her right away. Thanks! 🙂
We cannot imagine anyone laughing at you, Steinbeck.You are preciously adorable. Sending POTP that you and Hemingway are both healthy very soon. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio,Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
So far we’re both doing great. I take my medicine like a pro! Mom’s so proud of me.
OMC, you look so sad in that last photo, Steinbeck! Kittens do tend to come down with URIs, so I’m glad yours is getting taken care of.
They didn’t give me time to pose!
Okay, you definitely need a treat. And don’t forget your big brother…
MOM!!!!! Treats, please!!!!
Oh no Steinbeck not the evil vets again! What is it with these humans who like to have us tortured.
Know what??? The doctor ladies there love me and pay lots of attention to me. 🙂
Oh Steinbeck! Sorry you have the sickies but those meds will fix you right up AND keep Hemingway from getting the sickies too. As for the helicopter ears – I think that’s one of the CUTEST photos EVER! You do look like ET and trust me – I’m one of those who thinks ET is adorables, so it’s a GOOD thing that you look like that in your photo OK? Now you have nice clean ears too!
Love, Sammy
Poor Steinbeck…..nabbed again at the vet – but it’s all good because they cleaned your ears, got you on meds for your sickies and now you will feel better. Hemingway won’t get whatever you have too which is ALSO good……we love your helicopter ears photo – you DO look like ET and we have always thought ET was CUTE so take it as a compliment!!!!!!!
Love, Sammy
Thanks, Sammy!
Hope you start feeling better soon! I would petition for a better picture next time I was there, that doesn’t show off how handsome you are at all!
I’ve actually been feeling pretty good all along but Mom noticed me sneezing.
Amazing how our Mom’s just notice EVERYTHING!
It’s spooky!!!!
Hemingway and Steinbeck
Dear Steinbeck, nobody is laughing at you, we have all visited a vet and we know how terrible it sometimes is, especially when a vet is interested what you have inside your ears.

Kosmo…..thanks for understanding. Steinbeck, a little kitty in Minnesota
Don’t worry,Stienbeck, we’ll just love you.
Thank you……….but I’m still going to lobby for a better picture in my file at the doctor’s house! 🙂
MOL! The mom says your picture looks about as good as her driver’s license picture. We hope you’re feeling better soon…and Hemingway doesn’t get it.
My Mom said the same thing! MOL!!!
Feel better soon, little buddy. That doctor is smart to give Hemmingway some medicine too. Then he can stay well while you get well.
Love and licks,
Cupcake
Thanks, Cupcake. I’m being good and taking my meds. Purrs….Steinbeck
