Flo got a good workout at the Cambridge Valley Veterinary Clinic from our friend Dr. Tom Wolski. Some might call him an old-fashioned vet, but he has always embodied the best kind of vet to me – blunt, aware of the cost of things, a realistic advocate for animals who always keeps the relationship in perspective. He does not pull any punches and reminds us always that we are dealing with animals.

He gave Flo a good work-up. He thinks she might have been spayed – there are scars there and wants to wait a bit to make sure. She got all of her shots, was wormed. He said she was a very good cat – calm, grounded, affectionate. She hopped off the table at one point and looked around and swatted Red on the nose. He was shocked. Her claws were in. Dr. Wolski thought Flo had been a pet, at least for awhile. She was comfortable with him, with us transporting her, with the vet staff. He said outdoor cats are often healthier than house cats and he said a tall woodshed was a good place for her. We go back in three weeks for a follow-up. She got rabies and other shots and it seems that she is our cat. Okay with me. More photos on Facebook.
