Cats are in charge'

Did I tell you I am the proud owner of 2 moggies, my first in command is 'the duchess' aka Cinders, regal and majestic, she has ruled the Palace Griffiths for almost 17 years (149) cat years, she is a truly magnificent cat!  She is both regal and we, as her loyal subjects, adore and behold her.  

In recent months she has been losing weight and started to yowl rather than miaow! She's been exceptionally noisy and has taken to sitting on me in the middle of the night, not always comfortable for either of us!

So, off to see Ruth our vet last week to get an opinion on what should be done with the duchess so 1. We could get some sleep, and 2. Make her stop losing weight. 

A blood test seemed to be the answer, not sure who hot in more of a state - me or the duchess, probably me! I made a hasty retreat to the waiting room while vet and nurse did the shaving and extracted blood from my poor little duchess! 

She seemed perfectly fine, I however, was almost beside myself in the waiting room.
