Greg adopted Minnie from a pet store in College Station, TX in 1988.  Dr. P. actually picked her out at the pet store because she was the loudest and most active kitten in the litter.  She was only about 8 weeks old when she was adopted.  Tigger and Minnie quickly became playmates and were the original two cats in the Percival household.  In 1995, Dr. Percival noticed a pea-shaped nodule between Minnie’s shoulder blades that needed to be surgically removed.  A biopsy told us that the lump was a vaccine-associated fibrosarcoma (more information about this is available in our library).  Fortunately, the tumor was completely removed and has not grown back in the past 5 years.  Occasionally, if Minnie is standing in the right light, her hair appears a darker color in the area of her surgery.  One of the exam rooms at the Cat Hospital of Austin is named for her.
