Nine - Kosh's official birthday is April 10 1998, though that's an approximation based on how old the vet thought she probably was when I first took her in for jabs.

She is wandering up and down the landing squeaking pathetically as I type this - it's the 'whiny grunt - mew' combo that means 'please let me in somewhere' but since all the doors are open I can only imagine that either she wants a drawer opened so she can go and sulk in it or she wants to be let out of the window.

Do you think the eye problem could be something to do with reflective cat retinas?
