second image of Dr. Ahmed and Tamanya

He’s still clipping her toenails here.

By the way, he also looked in her ears with a sort of microscope, and her ears are fine. No ear mites or anything like that.

Another anecdote… Many Egyptians are simply confused by the name Tamanya. (We’d be confused too, if an Egyptian in America called their new cat “eight” just because they thought it was a pretty word.) But Dr. Salah thought it was a nice name, and made a numerological joke in saying that I should call her “Lucky Tamanya.”
