I am persuaded to bite the bullet today and visit the dentist, to sort out a mysterious pain under a back molar. Being somewhat allergic to dentists of all stripes due to childhood trauma this means the pain is significant, fortunately she is relatively close and the weather forecast is for a break in the rain. It is turning out to be an expensive week and the bank account is emptying fast!
Still, it is in a good cause.
I am still a little bemused by the cat age thing, and can't quite work it out. The girl who brought her to me told me she had given the cat to her grandfather five or six years ago as a kitten she got from the spca when he moved into a retirement village. He had loved and spoilt her until his death when she took the cat back into her home, but the cat didn't adjust well to a home with dogs, hence looking for a new owner. She arrived with a range of toys and food, including an enormous cat tree, which I passed on to another cat family. In the handover the girl was really tearful and followed up with regular email enquiries and I sent photos etc, until that petered out, as these things do. I asked her if she had been microchipped, and the girl didn't know - which should have been a flag, but I didn't pick up on it - all spca animals are chipped. And it is the chip that gave us the age, and details of the last vet visit at a South Auckland clinic, a check up, a week before she came to me.
So it is all a bit of a mystery. Still, it does mean she should be around for a while, which pleases me no end, she is a wee treasure, despite her rather dubious litter box laziness, lol.
