Mimi is such a brave little kitty.

Yesterday, wifey noticed that Mimi seemed to be winking a lot. After some further inspection, she noticed that one of Mimi's eyelids was swollen.

So today, Mimi went on a big trip to the vets to see Dr Paul.

Dr Paul took a look at her eye, and thankfully there's no scratches on her eyeball.

Because it's one eye that was swollen, it's unlikely to be an allergic reaction, and our babies are all indoor cats.

Most likely, it was that some individual — who may or may not be named Spunky or Snowy — got a little rough while playing with Mimi overnight.

After an anti-inflammatory injection and some eyedrops, Miss Mimi was sent home.

She's now happily playing in a box.

I told you there would be fisticuffs over that box.

@CEOofmyhouse56 @ajsadauskas@lemmy.ml You were correct.

Poor Mimi 😿

Get well soon Miss Mimi ♥

@CEOofmyhouse56 She was so brave when I took her down to see Dr Paul though.

Sat still while Dr Paul weighed her, did the eye drops, and gave her an injection.

He was very impressed.

No way would I be that brave in the same circumstances 😂

@Seagoon_ @ajsadauskas@lemmy.ml Thank you 😊

The good news is that she got home and had dinner and a bit of a play. Hopefully, after a couple of days of eye drops, she makes a full recovery 😸
