@TheLongRider you're right! I'm here for cat photos, and just the lovely friendship.
@AlwaysLatte you're new aren't you? Welcome! Thank you. Walter is a rescue cat. He came with his name. I was going to change it because my late paternal grandad was called Walter, so I thought my family would hate it. I come from a family of cat haters. They all said he suited it so I should keep it. He does suit it! When he was in the vets after being hit by a car, every person from the vets who called me with an update complimented me on his name.
I had another little rescue cat called Bertie. He was a feral kitten. He was named after my other grandad who was also a cat hater! He was terminally ill when I got Bertie and surprisingly he approved of the name. Last Sunday Bertie came in and became suddenly extremely poorly. I rushed him to the emergency vets and he was put to sleep in my arms on Monday afternoon. He had antifreeze poisoning. The ladies on this thread have been so incredibly supportive and have really got me through such an awful time. I still feel heartbroken but better than I did.
