Creepy crawlies

[chickenfeet]

As suspected, Jane has ear mites, no doubt acquired from the last batch of kittens. We took her into the vet today and got to look at the creepy crawlies under the microscope. We now have Revolution for all three cats which should clear things up over the next couple of weeks. Jane was a very good kitten at the vet despite the presence of a slobbery Irish setter and another dog the size of a hippo.

There was the weirdest thing on NPR a few years ago... this vet researcher guy put ear mites in his own ears (ewwwww) and they played on the radio the scritching sounds they made in the ear. Luckily they die in human ear canals (this idiot researcher gave them to himself like three times). I was totally squicked and it also made me *really* meticulous about our cat Circe who was susceptible to them. Persephone never got them but Circe got them a couple times a year. I guess some ears are yummier than others.
