Luscious blanket of cats Just

Purr downy softness Just.

I’m so proud of Capn. He’s in bed, wheezing cos his heart’s giving out and his kidneys are failing.

You wouldn’t know it - he’s purring like a rocket launch cos he had a lovely day Frightening A Dog. And 100 Dreamies and from the Service Human

A full selection of the Gentlest of strokes. The dog days of summer aren’t over for him yet.

Here he is asking for a very final Dreamie with which to drop off with.

I hoped I’d get him through the summer with warm sun on his fur and M&S delicacies at every turn. We made it.

It’s still bright enough in the new place to do a Kray-style walkabout in his garden menacing the locals every morning, which he’s rather taken to. He trusts me, has zero respect for my attempts at boundaries, but accepts being the centre of attention with calm delight.

I am slightly annoyed I forked out for 3 vet consults, designed the move entirely for the Extra Sensitive Pet, and the movers won’t answer the phone ever again, but the little fellow did enjoy menacing that wolfhound so it was all worth it in the end.

@Supersimkin2 I read your posts before work didn’t respond as I was half asleep sorry 💕

Are you ok? I’ve been thinking about you both all morning especially in the pet food aisle 💕

We’re fine - got a bit maudlin in the dead of night, that’s all. Thanks a million Swampy.

Capns on me now, eating dreamies and refusing his first breakfast cos not the most expensive one in Fortnums. He’s very ill but thank God he doesn’t know. He’s very, very happy and that’s what counts.

I'm so sorry Lana

At first I thought how poignant it was to read that Cap'n's health is deteriorating but then I thought what could be better for a cat than to have a new garden, a dog to scare, a ready supply of Dreamies and M&S treats and strokes? Cap'n always looks very handsome but that photo of him glowing is absolutely lovely Supersimkin. Hope you get a chance to rest your foot amid your cat slave duties today.

Oh Super. My heart is breaking for you. I'm so sorry 😢

As usual @nettie434 nails exactly what I wanted to say.

Much love to you & Cap'n Super

Here to agree with @nettie434 💕 honestly I was thinking this morning that Cap’n really landed on his feet with you he is so loved and will have a happy peaceful end 💕

Ach I’m crying now sorry

Ah @Supersimkin2 you do have a way with words.
@Fluffycloudland77, enlighten me, is trying to tell a Bengal off basically like banging your head on a brick wall?

Yes it’s completely pointless. Life’s too short to set yourself up to fail every day. You have to re-direct them instead with toys. I used to roll up whatever Paper was near by into balls and throw them for him.

It is monumentally unfair that you have to go through all this so soon after losing Mr C. There’s no justice in this life.

Every day is a happy day, that’s our motto.

Thanks all, it’s massively helpful and comforting to hear you. Couldn’t do it without you.

Foot now firmly on sofa. Capn graciously accepted m and s meal for lunch. Pudding = Daddy longlegs.

Cap’n sounds the most amazing, characterful cat.

And handsome too, of course.

He deserves every one of those daddy long legs.

He tried for a dog to eat 🤬

Little bit high spirited today, we’ve had to stay in.

Leroy had a daddy-long-legs for afters today too, at the exact moment I was telling DH what a silly idea this new insect based cat food is because they aren't part of a cat's diet 🤦🏼‍♀️

I don’t know what fish I’ve cooked tonight but the cat liked it. Looked like raw tuna but went pale when cooked?. I’ve frozen the rest for her.

The label said smoked haddock. I was looking forward to kedgeree too.

I was thinking exactly what Fluffy said, so unfair for you Lana after losing Mr C. That was soon after I joined the thread. Thinking of you and Cap'n so much. He's so loved and pampered. Beautiful boy.

Oh Lana, I think quality of life is the most important thing, and he could not ask for a more devoted slave.
I'm so glad you found each other for his twilight years.
Sending gentle hugs to you both x

Yep.

NDN Havelock demanding Dreamie compo for the bed incident.

Hello, brother Leroy.

Havelock has his "As per my last email..." face on. I take it you were forthcoming with the Dreamies?

I'm sorry you're on borrowed time with the Cap'n but you're probably the best thing that's ever happened to him. You're also the best person to care for him and do what's right.

Oh he’s properly pissed of isn’t he?

Woke up at 5am, wondered what the black thing on the bed was and nearly poked the cat in the eye.

Yaaaarsssss Fluffy! Victory is yours!
