Oh MsOllie, I am so sorry. Thinking of you and hoping Ollie is giving you lots of big hugs.

I'm sorry @MsOllie, it's not easy losing someone & it sounds very unexpected too. Ollie looks grimly determined to pull you through.

He's decided the best way is to sit on me at all times which is very helpful in the heat, thank you Ollie

Papergirl1968 · 16/06/2022 20:09

I'm sorry, HouseofHolbein, I couldn't resist posting my favourite pics of your girls!

MsOllie I am so very very sorry for your loss.

@HouseofHolbein
Thank you 👍

HouseofHolbein · 16/06/2022 20:52

@Papergirl1968 I have those saved in a special folder for when I am having a bad day 🤣🤣

Papergirl1968 · 16/06/2022 21:28

Me too, HouseofHolbein. It's that combination of outrage and resignation in their cute little faces that gets me every time! 😹

nettie434 · 16/06/2022 21:51

Adding my condolences MsOllie. It must have been a hard few years for you all. Ollie looks as if he is being very supportive. I don't have much hope for Paws but maybe he will surprise me.

Defiantlynot41 · 16/06/2022 21:55

FlowersCakeBrew MsOllie. I can't imagine what you are going through. Take care and hope Ollie (and PawPaws) are doing their very best to comfort you x

MsOllie · 16/06/2022 21:56

Paws is AWOL. Ollie has helpfully found me a cat that is grey and white as replacement
I mean, it's not quite what I wanted

I see Ollie is sticking to his monochrome rule though.

My friend has just asked if I would be interested in a British blue one eyed kitten

nettie434 · 16/06/2022 23:26

😁 That's because you are a one woman cat rescue. If you said yes, you would have a cat with one eye and a cat with one tooth and a not my cat with one white leg. British Blues are beautiful cats though ....

Supersimkin2 · 17/06/2022 08:21

I’d say yes like a shot. Ollie says yes, we know it.

How are you sweetheart. Have you eaten anything yet.

Kitten

I'm ok, just pottering around the house. Had some toast yesterday but too warm to eat yet today

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 17/06/2022 12:55

That's an outrageously cute kitten 🤣.
Are you taking him on?

MsOllie · 17/06/2022 13:06

I'm not sure yet, waiting to find out a bit more
I'm also not sure how Ollie would react which is my main concern

Papergirl1968 · 17/06/2022 13:54

He is gorgeous. Ollie would love him!

Fluffycloudland77 · 17/06/2022 14:16

That is a cute kitten, and someone else will take him on if you aren’t able to.

Supersimkin2 · 17/06/2022 14:21

Watch telly now!! Queen Olly is 9:1 to win at Ascot.

’An exceptionally beautiful filly’, no surprises there.

Have a lemonade at least love.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 17/06/2022 14:23

Personally, I'd put Ollie first and I don't think he'd be up for officially sharing you.

Supersimkin2 · 17/06/2022 14:23

Hard yes to kitten. Honestly think Ollie would be ok, then grow to love kitten.

Supersimkin2 · 17/06/2022 14:28

Kitten has right vibe for Ollie. You can tell these things.

That's what I'm hmmm about
But he did quite like having the deaf foster cat there
Maybe a trial

Supersimkin2 · 17/06/2022 14:40

Trial perfect solution.
