My parents have a kitten, Miss P. She is the Cutest Kitten Ever. (All kittens are the Cutest Kitten Ever.) I took Miss P to a new-to-me vet, who greeted Miss P with a crunchy treat.

After each poke and prod, Miss P received another treat. For the grand end-of-visit finale, the vet offered Miss P a spoonful of Mushy Yum. Miss P loved the vet.

The next day I read this article by my former W&M professor Barbara King. Making animals feel secure at the vet is now a thing. Should have happened forever ago. Glad it's happening now.
