SO the fluffly old 22 year old boy is still fine. The 'borrowed time' to quote our feline-cidal vet is now three months! And he hasn't had to go back since. Of course,we are changing vet!

Anyway despite the laughable nature of the idea that we are leaving in three days, we expect to be going. So he'd better stay well! Our neighbours as usual will look after the cats, but in the second week my sister is going to house sit, so he gets the companionship he is used to - he is so spoilt! Of course, the other cat, Mimo benefits as well! And he's an old boy really at 15 years old! We are paying for my sister's trip down from Derbyshire and for her dog to go into kennels! What with the cancelled flights earlier this year - it is turning into a very expensive holiday! But I'm glad she can do it - it means I can relax on holiday and it takes the pressure off our neighbours. Here he is in his current favoured place - woe betide if I bung a few working documents on the sofa which is next to my desk. He moans and groans until I move them! P1040860
