You can't say lavatory without saying tory.
Raedwald had 3 children. Two sons Raegenhere and Eorpwald and a daughter Cynewise.
Raegenhere died in battle while Raedwald was still alive so Eorpwald went on to succeed him as King of the East Angles. He was murdered shortly after being baptised by a heathen named Ricberht around 8 years after becoming king. Cynewise married King Penda of Mercia.
I think I'll stick with Harry and Tiggy.

A little history...
I picked Raedwald up as a kitten on the way home from visiting Sutton Hoo, the supposed burial ground of Raedwald who was the first Christian king of East Anglia.
I live on a small farm with no other cats so I didn't get him neutered straight away.
This was a mistake as he attracted a feral calico cat (Cally) who quickly got pregnant.
Cally soon learned to follow Raedwald in through the cat flap and started eating his food.
When she gave birth in the old combine harvester in the hedge opposite my back door there were 2 kittens. A white and ginger one (Harry) named after the Duke of Sussex and a grey tabby with flashes of red (Tiggy) named after tigers.
By the time they were about 6 weeks old they too learned to use the cat flap and come in for free food. At first only if accompanied by their mother and very timid. I only had to turn and look for them to bolt in terror.
Eventually I was able to stroke them while they were feeding without them running away.
Then little by little they started staying inside after they had eaten and, after a few months, first Harry and then Tiggy became domesticated and moved in.
Cally has remained feral and I can't get near her but she comes in to eat and will stay inside if the weather is bad but always by the cat flap ready to escape if I get too close.
Raedwald finds them a bit of a nuisance and will often hiss and growl at them over food. He is now fed on the kitchen worktop away from the kids but will still growl at them and chase them away if he fancies eating their food as well as his own.

aye, about that. between 10 & 11kg anyway.
he's an absolute unit. for scale - i may have posted this before - this is him in august. aged 10 months. and in feb aged 3 months. he grew like a bastard. nothing - NOTHING! - i bought fits anymore. cat tree, litter box, you name it i need the XXL version
ETA. i probably shouldn't had have his balls off, he might have been worth something to breed given his size. but too late, the brussel sprouts are off. and that was a whole story, i was seeing the RVN who would have done the op at the time, but we were going through a rocky patch and the idea of her happily snipping the cat's bollocks off was too close to home. had to wait for her to go on holiday before i booked him in

The vet messed up Jakey's prescription a) by failing to send it to me promptly after I'd paid for it, I had to chase it up with them, and b) it was dated 2025 for some reason (this is not the first time this has happened either), so Pet Drugs Online have had to contact the vet to get an amended prescription which could take another 2 days, they can't dispatch Jakey's medication until that happens.
He runs out of pills (Fortekor 2.5mg) over the weekend.
I don't know what to do and am a bit stressed by it, I feel very upset and let down, I'm going to try to get the vet to give me a weeks worth of pills for fucking free because this is their fuckup, but it might take them 4 working days to get some themselves which would by the time I talk to them tomorrow mean we'd already run out as they wouldn't arrive at the vets until next week.
I'm just fucked off, why does everything I try to do get fucked up in ways that are not my doing and beyond my control?

I mean if your cat needs to go the vet and you can afford it take them to the vet. If you can't afford it they will recover or die.
Not much to it.

What?
He goes to the vet regularly, I think you've misunderstood.
The vet messed up his prescription, which I've paid for.
I resent the implication that I am not looking after my cat properly.
Thanks a bunch for adding to my stress over this.

Well don't, especially not over my cat's health and wellbeing, and why with me?
Fuck off out of this thread if you don't have anything nice to say.

No I'm grand. Sorry. I do actually have some experience with the lovelies and vets.

So you should know better than to try to pick a fight with someone who is worried about their cat.
That is just downright nasty.

Not really. They live 10 years you can help them out physically and emotionally on their last leg and do the next one if you want.
