YET ANOTHER VERY SAD DAY: RIP little Nelson.
Nelson was way up in my top-ten catsit cats. He always kept me on my toes. If he was a friend, he`d be the one who got everyone chucked out of the pub! He was feisty, he was fun. Cheeky, greedy, passionate, a firebrand, greedy, manic, affectionate, greedy, unbounded, adorable, and did I mention - he has a very strong attachment to his food?
It would be nice to think that his equally special brother, Sidney, who passed on in January, was waiting for him at the gates.........

IT`S SO BORING having to play with kittens. Especially when, like these fosters, they`re not particularly good looking!
WE has such a surprise when Mouse (the Ragdoll-looking boy) was born: he popped out in his little amniotic sac, and I thought Mamma had given birth to a giant butter bean! No such problem with the tortie Panda, nor little black Wombat (who, you may notice, is actually a black tabby!)

BUILD IT AND THEY WILL CLIMB..........
Project Adventure Playground, Stage One, has now been completed in the foster kitten room. It`s not a large room, so we needed to be a tad creative to give them more space.
Several people gifted me their sick and broken cat trees, which I harvested for usable body parts, and thus created Dr. Philistein`s monster.........
We only have two fosters at the moment, a mother and baby, but they have both enthusiastically endorsed the extension!

A LOVE STORY FOR THE WEEKEND.............
A year or so ago, we got asked to look after Bella and Tigger, while their regular servants were away. After a couple of shy and cautious days they succumbed to Karen`s wondrous charms, and became more and more and more and more affectionate (get the idea?)
Karen has just completed another long gig with them, and is now completely besotted with them. Of course we would never have favourites, but they`re her favourites!
Tigger is happy to be continually stroked, but Bella has a most idiosyncratic need: she just has to spend all the time suckling on Karen`s neck!

14..1.2025: RIP, wonderful Sid............
I`ve cared for Sid, and his brothers Fred and Nelson, for two or three years now, and today my catsitting world is impoverished.
Sid, like many cats, had a magnificent personality, a loving nature, and two Great Passions: food and Thyronorm!
Now, I understand the passion for food, but Thyronorm? Twice a day he needed his 2ml. of medication for his errant thyroid: twice a day he hassled impatiently as I prepared his meds, then lunged at the syringe as soon as it was proffered, chewing it to get every last bit of flavour out of it. It`s the only time I`ve seem syringes looking like children`s biros, ending in a mis-shapen lump of chewed plastic!
In fact, it aroused my curiosity to the point where I tried some of his beloved drug. Verdict: at best, bitter. Go figure. The obvious answer has to be "Because cat".........
Sid, you were adorable and much loved, and will leave a large hole in the cat galaxy. But I`m so glad I got to know you. ###
(Of course, I`m not suggesting that anyone be stupid enough to actually try their cat`s medication!)
