Didn't know about veterinary-assistance programs. I'd been thinking that some kind of "sponsorship" arrangement could make the difference, but had no clue that anything remotely similar existed. Hmm.
The problem with the keyboards right now is that, attention-sponge that she is, she keeps trying to squirm into positions where my hands are touching her. It'll take a while before I get her to accept being moved aside and stay put. (Working on that. Also working on getting her to stop kneading my arm with her claws out.)
Lily is three years old now and she still kneads with her paws, it's probably because she was so young when she was taken away from her mother. They knead when they are content and happy, it reminds them of when they were kittens and suckling from their momma all warm and safe.
Yes, but there is kneading with paws, and kneading with CLAWS... Max kneads with her paws, and her claws in. Vivian has this mental "MUST STRETCH CLAWS, MUST STRETCH CLAWS" function. :) And her claws are HUGE.

I've been trying to teach Vivian this for years. Max got the point early, Vivian's a slow learner... And ADORES her claws.
