My kitties–Mercury Boo, Sebastian “Bashi” Doe, Galileo “Leo” Gailei, and Blizzard “Blizzy” Bentley–received a home visit today from their new vet, Dr. Cecilia Burnside, DVM, of Cats Love Housecalls. We love our new vet! Being owned by multi cats, it’s just too stressy to lug them to a clinic, and Dr. Burnside is excellent with kitty relations and treatment.

Good news: Bashi is responding well to the inhaler for his asthma, and Mercury has lost a pound (he’s down to 18 now, at about a-pound-a-year loss, from an all-time high of 20).

Under the “small world” category, I’d also like to note that Dr. Burnside is the daughter of fellow children’s author Pat Mora.

If you’re an Austinite with kitties, we highly recommend Dr. B!
