To a life well spent – RIP Cap'n V

In memory of Cap'n V

I agree with your daughter, some vets are obviously not that into cats.

That meme is so true.

My vets are all into cats. They like dogs too (and other domestic pets), but are definitely Cat People. I get the feeling it's a requirement by the boss vet when he takes on staff!

Our current vet is clearly a cat person and is brilliant. She's very polite about Lenny, but she makes a point of telling us that Basil is her favourite cat ever, and asks after him when we take any of our other cats in. I'm absolutely positive that she'd never make a similar comment about anyone else's cat 😹

This one wasn't our usual vet. I'm pretty sure we saw her as follow up when they were spayed and got a similar vibe off her.

Although she was very pleasant and complimentary about them and managed to give Morticia her jab quite easily. It takes at least 2 and sometimes 3 people to get her flea treatment on her 🤣🤣 so I was impressed.

Prince has spent all day kipping off the heat in his personal box. He’s just got into his personal bed too.

I had a terrible attack of profiteroles at lunch and just woke up on the sofa. My place.

Yup.

Latest: It’s a bit much when even the NMC denies you a bed. AIBU?

YABVU

We weighed my big boy yesterday. He came in at 7.7kg.

He's fed a pouch a day plus about two tablespoons of biscuits spread over the day. He does help himself to his sister's food if not carefully watched and refuses to exercise. He eats and sleeps. Refuses all human food.

He's never been one for playing although he'll occasionally chase his sister. I don't post photos because he never does anything interesting and she is never still enough!

He is a big cat and was over a year old when they chopped his balls off (before I got him). At that time he weighed 5.5kg and looked thin and unhappy with matted fur.

But 7.7kg is really big isn't it?

@YetAnotherSpartacus it's two of my cats put together 🤣🤣 however mine are really quite small. They were spayed at 4 months which might have had an effect.

Bet he's gorgeous tho x I'd love to see a photo

Here he is looking beseechingly at me because he is hungry.

He looks like my Matt, Spartacus. I don't know how much Matt weighs but I woke up this morning and he was sprawled across the bottom of the bed like a lion!

He’s ADORABLE Spart. Name?

8 or 9 kg is nothing for a healthy growing cat. Heavy fur innit.

Ooh he’s beautiful Spartacus!!

Those eyes though! How could you say no to that face? He’s so handsome. You never see a dainty tabby do you?

He's adorable 💕 very similar markings to my Gomez 😊

I call him Big Boy (and the other one is Little Girl).

He is gorgeous ... (thank you).

Just BIG.

Also, not amazingly affectionate unless he wants food...

Big boy is absolutely lovely 😹.
He does sound big to me - I think Basil is big and he's just shy of 6kg.
I don't post photos because he never does anything interesting
He doesn't need to do anything when he's that photogenic.

Big Boy is a full kg bigger than Leroy! How long is he? He's bloody lovely - I vote for more photos please Spartacus 😁

Winter is coming though and there’s nothing like a chilly house to encourage a cat onto your lap.

I can’t pronounce on anything pet-related without more pics of Big Boy.

I saw that too! Poor dog.

I've just read about poor Maggie 😢 It was fucking boiling on Saturday. And it was Ben Nevis!!! What the hell is wrong with some people??? 😡

Leroy is currently on his cool mat.
38°c? Sunny patch on carpet
16°c? Cool mat
🤦🏼‍♀️

Life saving cat!
had to share this. But the best line is the last one.
‘"As long as I feed him he's not bothered."’
so true! 😂

Ollie just threw up on the bench. Not sure what he was trying to say nearly steroid jab time
