Hi Everyone!

[VioletFae]

I was actually wrong- she was born on 4/5 so she's 18.5 weeks as well! They are abut the same age, how sweet! She's a F6B.

I'm honestly in love with her snow coloring and markings <3

The only other thing I want to ask about is the use of Metacam for after her surgery in a month- I was advised to stay away from it, and the vet sort of disagreed. Is there an alternative for this?

My vet gives buprenex as pain med...

She is a lovely girl, welcome to the Snow SV club!

 

[VioletFae]

Thanks for that answer, Brigette- I will ask about it!

Here are a few new shots of our girl!

Sooooo pretty!

Do I see pink nail polish on her toes?

 

[VioletFae]

You know, they are actually the soft paws- she let me put them on while she was asleep yesterday, and they are working great. She's not trying to bite them off at all It looks super cute too!

I used Soft Paws on San and Paz for the first month when I got them. It bought me time to teach them where it was ok to scratch and they then taught Dickens. I think it'll be a whole new challenge teaching the SVs, but so far so good.

I've not had issues with the Savannahs inappropriately scratching, the one cat I've had issues with is the British Shorthair! He's very bad... we had to replace our dining room chairs to a less attractive fabric to dissuade him :-(

She did try to scratch my comforter a couple of times before I put them on, but she's been using her scratching toy/lounge now. And also a piece of corrugated cardboard. We mainly put the soft paws on b/c of our son, but she accidentally scratched my leg today with her back claws. She tried to jump in my lap (yay!), but slipped off (aww). And there's a large rip on my leg to prove it, lol. I'm hoping to get the back ones on soon.

We are in kitten heaven over here! I'm amazingly surprised with how gentle she is with our 4yo. She's definitely warming up to us now!
