Evil cat had a nice fight

The vet has been.  Evil cat is very thin (this is really obvious),  more or less stable (physically perhaps, not mentally) and is doing 'okay'. 

After evil cat put up firm resistance to the examination, the vet declined to either get a blood sample to see how her kidneys had deteriorated or clip her claws.  Evil cat's claws are a hazard to everyone at the moment, but the vet thought it would distress her too much to be held and clipped.  Just trying to get a look at her teeth had been quite a challenge.  The poor old cat didn't manage to draw blood though, she is really feeling her age.

The dosage recommendation is for a cat of 1kg.  This may be overestimating her weight.  There is nothing to her, I am scared to pick her up in case I hurt her.  This is a recent thing.  When she was younger I had no hesitation in lifting and dropping when necessary. 

The vet thought that she may be around for a few months only.  I think it was this time last year that a vet first said that.  I expect I shall still be bullied by evil cat next Christmas, and possibly the Christmas after.

Evil cat is now sulking in front of the fire, feeling very sorry for herself.  Long may she continue to be a hazard.
