Hello From Heidi! And her new friend:)

[StewPots]

Hi everyone,

I haven't been on MN for such a long time - life has got in the way ( separated from my husband, but that would be another thread altogether!) but thought I'd update you all on Heidi.

If you're unfamiliar, I drove to Northumberland from Devon and back again in 24 hrs to collect Heidi from another lovely MNetter who had found this beautiful stray.

Heidi has a heart murmur but doesn't require medication for it, and is still a happy and contented girlie!

She also has a friend - Felix! Another rescue, he has three legs and is the noisiest, greediest cat on Earth!

But here they both are in relative harmony using my bed as their own!

Excuse to post more pictures of my beautiful and spoilt girl and boy

Oh I remember Heidi! Hi felix! So great to see them happy!

Lovely to see her again. They are both so gorgeous!

oh my Stewpots...how lovely to see you and Heidi again. i was just thinking about you both the other day and here you are ...sorry about you and your dh though

Felix looks a splendid chap? Are you still living in Durham?

bloody hell...Devon...its me that lives in Durham!

Hey @gatekeeper ! Yes I am :) lovely to hear from you too would hope you'd see my update!

Yes Heidi is rather splendid she's such a good girl still. Loves her cuddles and boops in the morning and sleeps on my bed at night.

Felix is very naughty but he's just so adorable and noisy at the same time 🤣

@gatekeeper how is that rather fine Tom of yours doing?

Oh I loved your and Heidi’s story at the time and am so pleased to read your update! Sorry to hear that sad and/or difficult things have happened in the meantime but I’m glad you have your two cats to fill your days with fun and cosiness.

Aww thanks @Mayhapitis @Toddlerteaplease @Ninkanink :)

Yes it's been a rough ride since then. I have a condition called Tietzes ( drs think the stress of my separation caused it to escalate) which means I'm often hospitalised for pain management, am under the pain team and have to take some serious meds to even be able to work at all. Had to change my job, reduce hrs everything.

But! My kids and the two kitties brighten up my world so much. Both cats stay by my side when I'm flaring and on bed rest or when discharged from hospital after a few days, and don't leave me (unless for food of course 🙄🤣) I'm so lucky we all found each other!

Beware of saddle thrombosis in your heart murmur cat. We just had to put our 3year old down and it was so very traumatic.

@mypoorfurbaby oh I'm so sorry to hear that :( for you and love sent.

Heidi has 6 monthly check ups and so far so good, she's very active out and about all day even in rain. In the summer she sleeps outside, we never see her except for feeding times when it's warm out!

I was just thinking of you today so this is a lovely update. Thank you.

Don't know the original story, but hi to all and Heidi and Felix.. what a lovely pair 😻

I followed your adventure. You were amazing. It's lovely to see Heidi and Felix.

So sorry for your recent troubles. Glad to hear your furry friends are taking care of you

Aww thanks everyone it's so nice that you still think of Heidi :)

She's currently laid on my lap in bed whilst Felix yowls at me from the dresser 🙈🤣

original post that will bring a tear to your eye and glow to your heart

Hi Stewpots 👋🏻
I was massively overinvested in the original thread at the time, I’m so sorry things have been hard lately. Heidi looks in rude health! Hi to Felix! 😁

afternoon Stewpots

my old mate had Tietzes ; took her 18 months to make a full recovery but was hard going. and sympathies...

Sherlock is doing canny; he is 14 now and more inclined to snooze these days...prefers and quick nip round the garden for wees/poos, roll around the catmint clump and then back inside. Keeps himself very clean and handsome still

We also have another cat! Since Heidi we have rehomed 3 stray girls that were brought to our house by an entire b&w tomcat. Over the last 12 months we've gradually gained his confidence and Sherlock has grudgingly become used to him slightly . Did usual thing sof putting him on Animal Search/facebook/vets etc but no one claimed him . he went to the vet two weeks ago for the old pom-poms off and he's hardly left the house since. If i had a baby carrier he would be inside as he is as soft as muck and extremely affectionate. Lets me put hats on him and all sorts. Sherlock gives him withering looks

Hope the next few months brings recovery for you Stew...love to you all xxx

Hi @overnightangel ! Lovely to hear from you and thank you ❤️

Oh @gatekeeper what a lovely pair!! Haha Pom Pom's made me laugh 🤣luckily Felix came to us without any so that was a bonus!

And glad Sherlock is still a happy cat and good to know he's now ok with a housemate! Xxx

I remember the original Heidi story! It's great that she's doing well and has a new companion.

Gatekeeper - ex-Toms really are the most affectionate of cats. They know the value of a warm house.

It's lovely to read this. I remember the story. Glad to hear Heidi is doing well.
