This is my furriend Gilbert!

When Gilbert was born, he had to see a lot of doctors. He was in a place in the hospital called the NICU. There are lots of doctors there to help babies. One of those doctors was an eye doctor and she said that Gilbert needed glasses!

When Gilbert was 6 months old he came to my office and got glasses for the first time. His glasses were about the same size as mine, which is normal-sized for a cat, but very very small for human size!

Gilbert was just a little baby so he doesn’t remember this, I do though! I like babies, they smell like milk and kittens.

Gilbert did a really really good job with his glasses when he was little. He always kept them on. As he got bigger, he started taking more responsibility for cleaning them and making sure they go in a case when he’s sleeping. Wearing glasses is a lot of hard work.

Gilbert also had two eye surgeries! One was to help his eyes be straight and another was to help stop his eyes from shaking. Since the surgeries, his eyes see even better with his glasses.

Gilbert has had 4 different pairs of glasses but his favorite pair of glasses are his green ones, which I love because my green glasses are my favorite too!
