Well me and my little newly defined blue persian are back from the vets. naughty ET would not let them take a blood sample so back next wek to try thyroid test again. Vet still insists 4 pouches is an abnormal amount of food. 60g wieght gain this wek - at 3% of her bodywieght dos not seem too bad. Anyway whiel I was there vet nurse brought out a five week old feral kitten she had rescued only yesterday with the words "she needs a home"! Sly vets!! Cutest thing ever. Anyway I would have loved to have her but ET needs me right now. happily I think I have found her a home in farmhouse in somerset, with parents of a friend, mad cat ppl, - ideal! they are getting in touch with vet nurse tomorrow to talk.
