I know that is a relief for all three of you. Hopefully she isn’t vain about her fur a pull a”diva hissy” because of her shaved fur.

Well, they said they would if I really wanted it, but I don’t. She’s getting spayed Friday. She’s out of heat and back to her normal crazy self.

Did the vet have any suggestions or even willing to spay her while she is in heat or just didn’t want to do it because of her size?

You are absolutely right – that’s NOT an 8 week old kitten. For comparison, here’s my little girl at about 7 weeks: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1381373887529&l=4a344f9c3d . And here she is at about 3 months: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1381373847528&l=f7fb039590 . Meimei looks a lot more like the 3-month-old in the above picture.

We actually had the opposite problem – the ad said 8-week-old kittens, but when we took her to the vet they said she was more likely only 6 weeks. Which was far too young for an Oriental breed to leave her mom (typically they need 12 weeks), but it was already too late. …The result was an eye infection (common with the breed) and a neurotic personality… including a tendency to nurse herself to sleep.
