Evil cat has a letter

Actually the letter was for me, but about her.  The local vet sent out letters to owners of older cats to say that there was a possibility of a different treatment for arthritis.  We could book in with a nurse any time, all we needed was a urine sample.

Evil cat does not give urine samples.

I remember some of the attempts to get samples in the past.  They included a twenty four hour stay at the vets when she kept her paws firmly crossed, a fight with a vet when she was described as 'a little bit hissy and a little bit scratchy', sedation and the final attempt when three members of staff tried to pin down a tiny tabby to get a sample via a needle and failed.  On the last home visit the vet declined to even trim her claws.

We'll probably be sticking to the same treatment she is on now.
