Trip to the Vet
- 19 October 2016 19:55319159As my cat has been losing weight in my view and doesn't come in the house other than to eat I thought it was wise for her to have an MOT as she hadn't seen the inside of a Vet since she got spayed 13 years ago. She doesn't trust me so a friend came round and sweet talked her into the cat carrier and drove us to the Vet in Castle Street. I was expecting to hear bad news as she sleeps in the grass during rain and snow.
The charming young lady Vet continued the sweet talking and examined her thoroughly whilst making it seem she was stroking her. Verdict was great condition for a 14 year old cat but couldn't get a heart reading as her purring was too loud.Jan Higgins and Judith Roberts like this - Jan Higgins

20 October 2016 09:13319171If it is any consolation re sleeping outside it seems to be a thing some cats do as they get older. Our two brothers are now 12 and one also spends most of his time out in the open while the other only goes out when necessary preferring to find the warmest place in the house. One of our long departed cats would also sleep on the grass in the pouring rain when she reached old age only coming in for food and a fuss.howard mcsweeney1 likes this-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
