Pousse meets the vet :biggrin:

[Soupie]

For the official vet purposes Pousse is called Portia and that was the other name I considered Much easier than explaining how to spell her name etc!

Hummed and hawed about even going to the vet as it was snowing heavily and minus 2 degrees outside but the vet I am using is 5 minutes away all by main roads so risked it and left myself extra time. She was an absolute angel travelling - she was in her basket on the front seat facing me and just curled up quietly - and a superstar for the vet.

A bit when we took her out onto the table but she behaved so well for check up and had her claws trimmed behind and I have had the flu/enteritis vaccs only as they ARE very contagious and can be carried around by humans coming and out. Whole thing only came to £20.15 and the remaining vaccs on 3 weeks will be just under £13 - very reasonable I thought.

Vet says she has very few teeth but what she has are healthy and that generally she is fit and well and not too underweight at all now she has filled out. Discussed her eating and drinking and overall vet reckons I have done okay as it can be risky taking on an older rescue cat.

So all is well in Pousse land - she has spent the time since we got back curled up next to me on the sofa just in case I go somewhere you know

It's a french term of endearment and normally used as "ma petite pousse" = my little flea

That reminds me of my schooldays when I was learning French ...... we had to say "Pomme, Prune, Pousse" over and over again so that we could get the French accent correct!
