In which Nala gets old

I took Nala to the vet this morning because I thought she had something in her eye; it was watery and she was squinting. The vet didn't see anything in the eye, and we JUST got done treating Hypercube for conjunctivitis, so it's another week of putting goop in kitty-eyes for us.

All of that is okay. I'm less happy with her weight dropping; she's less than 8 pounds now. I think they might have said 7.4 -- I didn't get the itemized receipt that would have reminded me, so I'll have to call them if I want to obsess about this. At any rate, it's about a pound of weight loss in the last few months, which is maybe not good if you're a smallish 16-year-old cat with mild kidney troubles.

All her life I've been telling her "Live to be 20, kitty!", but damn... maybe she won't. Mentally preparing.
