Thanks @HumanToCatBeasties. I started about 3 months ago I think. All downhill from here though!

That's fab! @EmpressaurusKitty
And it goes perfectly with my bedroom colour scheme... just saying 😉

It’s a present for my aunt so I’m hoping it will go with her bedroom colour scheme too!

Linney looks sad. He must be missing you.

Defiantlynot41 · 19/06/2026 16:13

That’s beautiful Empressasaurus!

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 19/06/2026 17:25

Good news at last.
Getting transferred to the hospital much nearer my house.
Hoping for visitors!

eta: can Linney and Gizmo visit as. "Support animals"?

Sorry to hear things are so shit, Broon. Glad you're getting to be closer to home, though.

That's a rather fabulous blanket! Not sure it would stay pristine for long around Agatha - she'd be straight on it; making biscuits and catching every thread with her claws....

Breadcat24 · 19/06/2026 21:55

@EmpressaurusKitty that blanket is so impressive

Breadcat24 · 19/06/2026 21:56

@TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne hope you are stabilized and ok how frightening

JaceLancs · 20/06/2026 00:46

@TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne hope you are on the mend soon xx

Pixiedust1234 · 20/06/2026 12:56

EmpressaurusKitty · 19/06/2026 05:02

The blanket now has its top row of cats.

Absolutely stunning! I expect Kitty will be sad to see it go. Are you going to make her one?

Still sending you good thoughts Broon, and hopefully you will continue to improve once you are nearer to your family and can see them Flowers

Of course! I’m going to make a smaller one to go on her window seat in the bedroom. I’m going to use up some of my stash so possibly multicoloured cats.

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 20/06/2026 17:51

Very sad.
Am going to go home.
Discharge myself

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 20/06/2026 17:52

Don't care any more. Need to see the cats

OP posts:
EmpressaurusKitty · 20/06/2026 19:10

The cats need you as healthy as possible though Broon.

Pudmyboy · 20/06/2026 19:45

Any chance of an 'overnight pass' or some other sort of temporary discharge Broon ? Once you are off the ward then should you become ill again it will be back to square one, ie a hospital miles away.
Or a video call with the cats?
I know hospitals are dire, but it does sound like something has gone on with you that warrants investigation and observation, for your safety and the cats.....

Pixiedust1234 · 20/06/2026 23:07

I hope you stayed at the hospital Broon, as you really don't sound well. Can you get the kids to facetime you rather than send photos of the cats,? Seeing them "live" might help. Hopefully your meds kick in soon and you start to feel better Flowers

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 21/06/2026 08:30

Hope you are feeling ok this morning Broon?

Allergictoironing · 21/06/2026 08:49

Any possibility that at least Linney could come to visit you at the hospital? See if you can get a "pass" to go as far as the car park and you can have cuddles & fuss in the car.
