Sickening, Grumpy 😾. You must be bereft. Could you use the bits for something else? I know this sounds barmy but… when I smashed my china inheritance (weeks of mourning) I used the wreckage as crocks in fave planter. Still going strong 25 yrs on, thanks Granny.

Or you can craft them into or onto something else with a similar curve. Or mosaic with them.

Grumpy Do you ever watch The Repair Shop? I am a big fan and so know that the ceramic expert Kirsten Ramsay has her own business

Of course it's free if you go on the show.

Or with a taxidermied Lenny “it was natural causes” .

We had so little out when Asbo was alive people would ask if we’d just moved in when they came round.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 13/04/2022 13:52

Thanks all. Going down the repair (stick it back together) route. It won't be usable anymore but I really like the shape of it so I'll keep it anyway.
Taidermied Lenny now there's a thought Grin.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 13/04/2022 13:57

TaXidermied Lenny even.

Fluffycloudland77 · 13/04/2022 14:27

Mittens is too good for him.

Supersimkin2 · 13/04/2022 16:05

Taxidermists do 2 for 1 this time of year. Just saying,TC.

Needs a dead pigeon or two.

Supersimkin2 · 13/04/2022 21:09

He hasn’t eaten since Sunday - stinking diarrhoea after stealing havelock’s cream - I just don’t know how I get calories in - vet cancelled on me, phone call tomorrow.

Supersimkin2 · 13/04/2022 21:13

He’s so thin. I hope this isn’t It.

Fluffycloudland77 · 13/04/2022 21:38

If it is there’s nothing you can do to fight it. Let’s hope it’s not.

Papergirl1968 · 13/04/2022 21:45

Oh Lana, I hope not. Hugs to you and darling Cap'n ((()))

Supersimkin2 · 13/04/2022 22:29

They’re going to want to operate on his fangs and he might not make it - suspect that’s the crux.

Only when he came in for a sit down at 6pm did the pigeons feel confident to have lunch in the birdbath. He has the soul of a hero.

coastergirl · 13/04/2022 22:38

Sending so much love and hope to you @Supersimkin2 and Cap'n

TheLongRider · 14/04/2022 00:46

I hope everything works out for the Cap'n. You'll do what's right for him and you. Flowers

HouseofHolbein · 14/04/2022 07:21

Lots of love to you @Supersimkin2 💕

Allergictoironing · 14/04/2022 07:58

Aw bless, poor Cap'n & poor Lana. He's not exactly a cat who you could syringe liquid food into either!

Fingers crossed he gets through the tooth op OK, if any cat with heart problems can cope with a general, it's him.

Ihatethedawnchorus · 14/04/2022 08:39

Found nmc1 stretched out on the kitchen table, dd1 later found nmc2 curled up on dcats bed in her bedroomSmile

YetAnotherSpartacus · 14/04/2022 09:22

All the best Lana and Cap'n Flowers

Whatever happens, it does seem that the op is the only and best option at this point and so you are absolutely making the right choice.

Fluffycloudland77 · 14/04/2022 10:28

Yes, he can’t live miserable in pain so give him a shot at pain free life and you’ll know you did the right thing for him.

I’m always so glad I didn’t have kids, the cats are enough worry for me.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 14/04/2022 10:58

Best wishes Super & Cap'n. Hoping for a positive outcome. Flowers

Papergirl1968 · 14/04/2022 11:43

Keep us posted, Lana. You know we're thinking of you ascending positive thoughts to you both.
Matt is in the doghouse for catching a bird, and taking it under my bed. Well, I say catching it. He's so fat and lazy it might well have committed suicide. I'm about to grit my teeth and go up to retrieve the body. Just I want on a day when I'm feeling under the weather anyway. Hmm

Supersimkin2 · 14/04/2022 14:37

Capn is better and has menaced a pigeon! He has eaten 1.5 Sheba trays!

I was up till 2am clearing up his flamboyant stomach upset. Swearing. Felt guilty. He felt bad about missing the tray. We had a cuddle and a little grooming session. Slept well-ish.

Fucking vet cancelled AGAIN cos Covid AGAIN.

Then nurse said but we’re so worried about him, he might not make it thru the weekend, it’s a bank holiday don’t you know. So I battled with them for an appt but no go.

The convo concluded with me declaring in freezing tones ‘I hope your Easter is better than ours will be’ and replacing the receiver.

Fuckers. Trouble is I’ve paid till 2023 so getting another vet is no joke, but I’ll investigate. In the meantime we’ve got 4 days to totter through.

Papergirl1968 · 14/04/2022 15:41

Eating and menacing pigeons must mean he feels better. Cats, eh. They just like to worry us.
I tried to get a doctor's appointment. No luck there either.
