Back-to-back Martinis

I took Martini to the vet today for her blood pressure check-up and nail trim. She also got her distemper shot. The vet tech told me that they had another cat named Martini just before my appointment (what are the odds?). She called it "back-to-back Martinis" which I thought was cute.

Martini's blood pressure is normal so the medication is working. I'm still concerned about her weight, though. She is so skinny! The good thing is, although she hasn't gained any weight, she hasn't lost any since her last appointment in August. She weighs exactly the same.

So Martini and I continue to keep on keeping on. My beautiful black and white cat.
