Cool Cats & keeping an 'eye' on Annie

We are all doing our best to stay cool today.

Yes, even Audrey.
Although Audrey marches to her own drummer.

I'm sure you noticed that Annie has Iris Melanosis.
When she arrived with her three kittens in tow five years ago I noticed it immediately and had to look up what the dark spots in her eye was caused from.
She has been under vet care for this eye issue ever since and we are keeping a close eye on it ourselves with examinations and photos. 
It's worrisome as it could turn into malignant melanomas
which is a very serious eye condition.
We pray that won't happen to our Annie.
I'll link you to an article if you are interested in learning more.

Day one with Annie.
It took two months to get Annie in better shape as she arrived mal-nourished, full of bacteria & worms and exhausted.
And she had 3 one day old kittens by her side.
Yes, that's Audrey. :)
Annie was a very unhealthy cat trying her best to be a good mom.

You can see the dark spot has changed a bit in five years.
She has another check-up this fall and I'll keep you posted on the results.

Thought I'd throw this one up, too.
This was Annie one day after she was spayed.
Audrey  (at two months) never left her side.

hug your kitty,
Deb
