I wouldn't say she's enjoying it - she's tolerating it. But she's mostly eating it, and has put some weight back on since I switched her to it, so that's a good thing

She's good, thank you for asking. She has some kidney issues, but fortunately those are manageable.

She's an old lady now, with some old-lady kidney issues, but she is absolutely fine in herself and I am focused on giving her the glorious old age she deserves

She'll come to you for strokes soon enough, especially as she sees her sister enjoying them. Let her come to you in her own time.

I see they have settled in nicely!!! They're such pretty girls

Daphne does not care about your puny human schedule. She issues edicts in her own sweet time.

Kate Bevan @katebevan.com · 4h

If I were you I would stop faffing about on social media and attend to those objectives immediately

agree strongly on fixing the society shit. But these drugs exist and are transformational for the people who take them. I think they should be widely available in the same way that drugs like statins are, ie drugs that make people healthier.

Kate Bevan @katebevan.com · 4h

clearly you're not attending to your Martha-fussing objectives

Kate Bevan @katebevan.com · 5h

Her regime is firm but fair.

Kate Bevan @katebevan.com · 5h

the NHS guidelines are so tight, and they take you off it after two years, so people will yo-yo back up. It should be like statins: ubiquitous, cheap, and something you can take for life. For everyone.

Daphne does not worry about puny human schedules when preparing her edicts

Kate Bevan @katebevan.com · 5h

You can cancel your Wednesday once you've arrived, she says

Kate Bevan @katebevan.com · 5h

Don't give her ideas

Kate Bevan @katebevan.com · 6h

Daphne has told me to let you all know that Wednesday is cancelled.

Kate Bevan @katebevan.com · 6h

Of course she wasn't grateful. She's a cat. She's going to punish you for this for the rest of her days.

Mind you, £18k by the time your sprog turns 18 will probably just about cover a couple of pizzas and a few beers.

My god the amount of time I waste trying to figure out if my new followers are human. Apologies to every handsome middle aged retired surgeon with a beard who loves his grandkids and God who I have ever blocked.

glad to hear that, Glenn - I'll be thinking of you x
