My vet does it everytime we go.

they listened to her heart, looked under her tail, checked inside her mouth & looked at her eyes, & her ears.

i may look into this if need be, she's due back at the vets on the 5th.

Was it a private vet or somewhere like the PDSA or The Blue Cross. Even so their always thorough anyway.

private, it's my local vets.. where all my cats go.

You could weigh her yourself on a bathroom scale if you're curious. Weigh yourself first then pick up Princess and get back on.

You should demand that their weighed next time your at the vets. They should do that anyway so they can keep a check on their weight
