@Pudmyboy when he is home Finlay is a very contented kitty as long as his stomach is full n he gets lots of lap time or general attention! The gel pads are from the range about £5 and I’ve got a couple - they are great to sit on or insert into a pillow case or help your pet cool down!

Home again tonight

@JaceLancs Happy birthday to Finlay!

Good news at last.

I haven't got cancer of the uterus.

Dr. wrote to our village surgery weeks ago. They forgot to tell me till today.

Dr. also failed to write and tell me.

Great news @TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne !!
Rubbish communication from your health care professionals though!!

Allergictoironing · 13/07/2026 20:23

Oh my Gods! Your local NHS is proving to be appalling in every way Don't give you the results of a cancer test. Have nurses(!) who assault staff.

Will this be a second complaint from you? Or just let that one slide so you can concentrate your energies on the assault case.

Sending love @TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne

This will be yet another complaint, believe me.

God Broon, this all sounds like a nightmare. I’m glad you don’t have cancer at least.

Kitty had her annual booster & checkup yesterday. Healthy with good teeth, and lost 1.2kg over the past year. That takes her to her target weight & is hopefully down to improved diet & more exercise, but they want to see her again next month to make sure she hasn’t lost any more.

She swore at me from the carrier, which I can’t blame her for, but when we got home she sprawled out on the rug instead of hiding so that suggested she wasn’t too traumatised.

My Frankie cushion has arrived. It's so cute.

🖤 sweet Frankie

Breadcat24 · 16/07/2026 10:07

@RumNotRun captured his expression beautifully!
Today we are mostly chasing butterflies- cute (and scratching the furniture not so cute) I will try to get a pic

RumNotRun · 16/07/2026 10:30

I now want cushions of all the cats, past and present. At least than £20 each, they're a bargain!

EmpressaurusKitty · 16/07/2026 21:26

Kitty’s catnip has flowered.

She’s happy.

If I’d known about those when I started fostering I’d have a sofa full of cushions now rather than a row of photos!

I came home last night to discover that DS2 had bought a cushion - we all think it's Lenny 😹

l love that @RumNotRun . It really captures Frankie's curly whiskers.

LostCats2 · 17/07/2026 15:19

Hi all, sorry I've been AWOL for ages, annoying health issues get in the way of cats which is not right.
Anyway!
I am so sorry if I have missed other news recently but the 2 big ones I saw were

@TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne Good Actual Grief! I hope those 'nurses' get struck off for that! That is absolutely appalling! I am so sorry that happened to you!

And @RumNotRun. I just saw about Frankie. There are no words. I know I am a little late, but I did want to say how gorgeous he was and how really special he seemed. But he knew how loved he was and that is so important isn't it.
I can't seem to come up with the right words, but I am so very sorry,

RumNotRun · 17/07/2026 15:56

Thank you @LostCats2 he was one of a kind for sure.

@TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne Have you heard anything from the hospital yet?

@TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne Have you heard anything from the hospital yet?

Hello.
MRI in a couple of weeks.
Still very up and down.
More down than up. Not getting better very quickly.

Keeping fingers crossed for you Broon.

Sybil has developed a very irritating habit during the heat waves. She goes out - rolls around in dirt - then comes back in and drops it all round the house. Evidence enclosed.
