It’s lovely to be able to put a face to the name, Swampy! Funny how most of us would recognise each other’s cats if we happened to bump into each other, but not their hoomans.

If we happened to bump into them, I mean!

Ooh yes Alpacas have to be CNN in a herd so one won't do at all. There used to be not far from me and I loved watching for my girlies from the bus

This is my outdoor herd (one sadly got binned last week) I have an indoor herd as well

My indoor herd. OH bought me a lovely Steiff, though technically he's a camel

What everyone said.

Puddy would say she’s under-snacked. I go to bed before dh and she lies against him facing the dreamie drawer and looks pointedly from dh to the drawer until he does the right thing while dh has a snack “moms gone to bed break the snacks open”.

Can't wait to recover and take an alpaca for a walk with my LT mates.

We should have a meetup, each issued with a packet of Dreamies for discussion purposes and a huge alpaca.

Leroy could come and, leading DS, herd us and the alpacas forward on our epic journey.

In tears at the moment - the vet just called to say that Ashycat's ashes are ready for collection. I thought I was doing alright (missing her, but not crying any more).

I can't adopt a little furry plaster to help me heal because I am due to move shortly and it wouldn't be fair to uproot a cat twice in a few weeks (although I have seen a chonky boi on Celia Hammond).

Thanks God it's Friday.

It hits you hard doesn’t it?.

It's a bit like losing them all over again isn't it. Sending you love MrsAshwell 💐

It does, Fluffy. I still speak to her, hear her moving and there's a case of her special wet food in the kitchen. The local stray is enjoying her dried food (her £14 per bag dry food).

I am going to have to keep myself together at the vets this evening. That's probably the only good thing about masks - it's less obvious I am crying.

That's exactly how it feels @YesItsMeIDontCare

That's probably the only good thing about masks - it's less obvious I am crying.

Nobody will mind you crying. Nobody at all. Go easy on yourself. x.

Have a cry. Vets and vet staff understand.

MrsAshwell.

Am definitely up for an alpaca trip! There've been a few on the new life in the country type programmes lately and they are super cute.

And I don't know exactly what is in these but my cats will even bypass Dreamies to get to these ...

I'm up for the Alpaca Excursion, but I don't share Super's confidence in Leroy's herding skills 😁

Alpaca excursion would be amazing. Charlie wants to know if he can come too

Awwww Charlie! He’d be scared, surely:). So glad he is getting better.

How's Charlie doing? His eyes still look a bit swollen.

Alpaca walking sounds excellent, but I fear that if I met Charlie I wouldn't be able to resist kidnapping him.

Million times better thank you @AlfonsoTheMango. It's definitely taking a while for the swelling in his face to go down, but he's eating, drinking, purring and yesterday bit me so hard I thought he'd gone through my thumb . I don't think he'd tolerate alpaca walking, he's basically a big wimp

@Justonedayatatime11 - Glad to hear Bonnie Prince Charlie is feeling better but why did he bite you?

@AlfonsoTheMango he likes to chew on fingers and thumbs. He's very very gentle, he just went a bit far on my thumb!

Ah, I see. It wasn't a malicious bite; he just doesn't know his own strength.

Alpaca sticking plaster for the trip

Sorry all. Massively relieved about the big lad And get well soon &@Justonedayatatime11
