Now the cats are vaccinated

Molly and Kaja both got veterinary exams today, one in the morning and one in the afternoon (it seemed easier for us than taking them both there at the same time). Both cats have had the necessary vaccines, and we had the technician clip Kaja's claws, which she did not like.

We took them to Union Square Veterinary Clinic, because it's in easy walking distance from our new apartment.

We couldn't find the previous paperwork quickly, but I still had scans of their adoption paperwork in my email, and I called the vet in Washington and asked them to send the other records over. I did that between Molly's morning appointment and Kaja's afternoon one, but the email hadn't gotten there when we went back. This also let me confirm that Kaja is the older of the two: it seems easier to remember "one is a year older than the other" than "Kaja is a year older than the other." Those ages are approximate at best; we adopted them as adults, and are relying on their previous people having given correct information to the Humane Society when dropping them off.

Molly is heavier than the vet likes, but trying to limit how much she eats would be tricky, given than Kaja defers to her about food. So, more exercise (play) may be called for here: she's also more likely to be happy with that approach.

(I first titled this "now the cats are medicated," but all they've had are rabies and distemper vaccines.)
