I took Yoshka to the vet for her annual jab today. I also mentioned to the vet that I thought she might have a thyroid complaint as she is such a nervous cat - cough and she'll jump six feet in the air. Good party piece but irritating. If I try to stroke her belly or touch her legs she'll go nuts. And how on earth can a cat lover not want to stoke a cat's belly, for chrissake? And as for picking her up, forget it.
So I took her out of her box, placed her on the vet's table - and he picked her up and stroked her and she loved it. What a cow! She purred, stretched out in his arms and simply made me look like I was either making it all up or that I was some idiot who was bursting balloons in her ears all day. They made an ideal couple.
Upshot is that she needs to have some teeth removed and gingivitis treated.
Apart from that she's 4.2 kilos of healthy cat. And so she should be after all the organic cat food she scoffs.
For a few moments I entertained the idea that she might let me pick her up and stroke her belly when I got her home. No way.
