LOL! But, you did get her to the vet this past time, right? I guess you
don't want to give her a sedative once a month, is that it?

BTW, you can see some shots of her on my personal site at

Looking at her, you wouldn't think she's a living terror.

She's beautiful! And she doesn't look like a living terror, you're right.
Although in that last photo, at the bottom of the page, she does have a
certain baleful glare in her eyes. (My cat Roxy is an expert at the
Baleful Glare.)
