Feline TMI ahead

[prog]

Well, she's been here a month now, I haven't heard from her "mom" except for that one uncertain ping (more than two weeks ago), and the other person she once lived with won't talk to me. So it's high time I took her to a vet. I know a lot of you have favorites in the area... now's a good time for a shout-out.

Mostly, this would be just a check-up and a status report; though "mom" told me of her health, I think I'd best get a professional opinion first-source. She seems very healthy, which is good. (Still no barf or litterbox misuse, which is great.) The only thing at all off-balance is that her butt is visibly (and smellily) poopy, more than I think a kitty-cat's normally is. Not horribly so, but enough to kind of gross me out given her predilection for sitting on every surface in the house (including Y.T.). I hope that can be fixed with a change of diet or something... I've been feeding her from the bag of Kitten Chow I happened to have on-hand when she arrived. (She is not a kitten.)

Awww, kitty! How old is she? Depending on her age, kitten chow may indeed be causing her digestive distress.

We always took our cats (my parents' cats and the ones I shared with suntop to the animal hospital in Brookline Village, where I volunteered as a kid, and the staff there are really nice. That's probably further away than you want to go, but if you're interested I can dig up the name and phone #.

No clue as to her age. One cat-wise friend has said that she looked not quite full-grown, but she's obviously not a lil baby cat either. So that's another good reason to see the doc!

Thanks for the tip... I'll keep in mind.
