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.

I think that would be too complicated.

Glad you’re feeling better Broon & I think that staying in is exactly the right decision. Great news about Sebastian too.

Yes I've realised I need to stay but omg my bed is very uncomfortable.

But woke up knowing I was in hospital which is a great improvement

@TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne please stay and keep on with your recovery, hospitals are miserable places to be especially in hot weather, and awful to try to sleep but the best place for you to get your treatment at the moment.
Can your visitors bring you a cool bag full of cold things?

Breadcat24 · 21/06/2026 13:06

I have let Micia out into the garden (on purpose) we never intended that she would be just indoors and have only left it this long because we had no sense that she came when called etc. But she was so hot it felt mean not to let her get somewhere cool.
She has vanished and I can only hope she comes back- her outside litter tray is there for her to smell.
For those who will say that she will come back when she is hungry there are a lot of pigeon feathers!
Fingers crossed. It is not like I can chase her on one leg.

Breadcat24 · 21/06/2026 16:46

Back in for the night eating tuna!!

HumanToCatBeasties · 21/06/2026 17:01

Good news @Breadcat24 I'm sure Micia enjoyed trying to catch her own snacks, but I'm sure she's used to the home comforts her human slaves provide. How is your knee getting on?

I was waiting for this update 😻.

Ours have been staying out at night (dirty stop outs) and snoozing in the house all day. Can't really blame them in this heat.

CatsonPollock · 21/06/2026 17:09

Hope you're still feeling more positive @TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne
and your meds continue to help with your recovery. I know if I was in your position I would feel exactly the same and want to be back home in my safe place with my cats 💐

Micia is doing excellent catting @Breadcat24 😸

Breadcat24 · 21/06/2026 19:23

@HumanToCatBeasties thank you so much. I am much more mobile than I thought I would be- up and down the stairs with crutches. Pain is also less than I expected- although this week the nerves are coming back so it is making me sound like I have Tourettes with sudden swearing!

Breadcat24 · 21/06/2026 19:46

@Grumpyoldpersonwithcats @CatsonPollock @HumanToCatBeasties
Thank you I have be terrified all day she would run away
She is now in with a miffed look on her face as door is not open any more.
I will open again tomorrow
Is it OTT to buy thermal vision glasses to see if your cat is in a bush?

RumNotRun · 21/06/2026 20:47

I saw this on FB and I thought of you all.

The top one was definitely Kitty earlier.

I’ve finally found cat soups that she likes so she can have daily wet food.
