Carry On Catting - the Excellent Cats do what they do best

[TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne]

......... and try to break into the film industry.

It'll be an unlikely success as they'll have to stay awake for long periods while filming goes on.

Well. Unless they decide to make Carry On Sleeping.

I wouldn’t say any of the goodbyes were exactly easy, but some were harder than others!

I agree about being realistic about what you can & can’t handle though.

We love NMCs, @LlynTegid!

I spent the morning leafleting the local area because our cat rescue is having a sale at the local community next Saturday, & saw several NMCs as well as hearing quite a few NMDs!

Since we’re going to have lots of stuff for both cats and dogs, I’m hoping that means their owners will decide to come.

@blackcatclub25 Shady looks gorgeous. You have done well to get him down to that weight. You cannot starve the poor puss

@blackcatclub25 He looks perfect to me! He is a very big (and gorgeous) boy as we all know, and under 7kg seems reasonable to me. Boycat was just over 6kg before he fell ill and was considered just right by the vet, and he was of a very lean build much narrower in the shoulders and hips than darling Shady is.

Plus I don't know what your supposed to do about getting any more weight off him with his fussiness with food dietary preferences and needs.

Girlcat is just coming up for 11 now, and she goes once a year. Vet sees no reason for her to go more often unless I thing something isn't right, and she only needs those visits because a) she needs her jabs to reduce any chance of getting anything to pass on to Tobias, b) they won't give spot on without weight checks now & again and c) because I think it's only sensible for her to have an MoT and I'm paranoid.

Not to me, no!

Shady, as always, looks perfect.

Shady looks lovely! He certainly doesn't look overweight.

Thank you @Breadcat24 - I’m obsessed with him
@TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne yes it’s always the men lol

Sorry I've been awol again. Benny was seemingly hit by a car last night 😭 He came home having been out for about 20 minutes, walking funny, breathing fast through his mouth. He has a diaphragmatic hernia and is at the emergency vets for surgery if he's stable enough. It's not good. Please keep him in your thoughts x

I'm so sorry @coastergirl. Keeping everything crossed for Benny's recovery 💐.

Sending power of the paw to Benny.🐾❤️🐾
Thinking of you @coastergirl 💐

Oh no @coastergirl, I’m so sorry. Thinking of Benny and you xxx

@coastergirl so sorry to hear that, sending healing thoughts to Benny.x

I'm sorry@coastergirl Best wishes for Benny.

Sending all my love to you and Benny. I'm so glad he came back to you for help ❤

@coastergirl so sorry to hear this sad news best wishes to the beautiful Benny

@EmpressaurusKitty Miss B is now on 6-monthly vet checks because of the meds for her hyperthyroid (she is on the very max dose possible), has been like this since increasing the dose to this level a couple of years ago, so when she was 16 or 17. Before that annual checks.

@coastergirl sending all love to you and Benny, hope he is ok

@blackcatclub25 Shady is a darling, perfectly proportioned. Most of my cats have bulked up a little in winter and slimmed down slightly as the weather improves and they spend more time outdoors too.

Oh poor Benny! And poor you @coastergirl . Thoughts and wishes they can operate soon and it goes well.

Oh no, darling Benny.
Lots of love to him and to @coastergirl

@coastergirl any news? Got everything crossed for a good and easy outcome for gorgeous Benny, and we are here for you too💐💐💐

coastergirl so sorry to hear about Benny fingers crossed for a good recovery.

Thank you all so much. The vets called first thing this morning. They were able to operate overnight. It was difficult. He has 3 tears in his diaphragm 😭 and his abdominal organs were up in his chest, causing his breathing difficulties. They've repaired his diaphragm as best they can and when they called this morning they were quite pleased with him. Last night they were really quite pessimistic and said that quite a lot of cats come through the surgery but don't recover, but he's doing well so far.

@coastergirl Thank you for the update. Well done Benny, Well done to vet and well done you you must be frantic. Benny is a young strong well cared for boy he has all that on his side. Wishing you lots of love

Encouraging news @coastergirl ❤️
