Gay has been spending a lot more time indoors this last week. He's usually first out the window, and doesn't normally come home until quarter to food.

heckling from the back!
About the only thing that can unroll a hedgepig is an adult badger.
Cats might transport a few fleas [but those are species specific so shouldn't be a longterm problem].
Hogs have far more spikes so a cat should learn to stay clear ...

Lost in the wood
Friend who fosters underweight hedgehogs over winter told me that their fleas are specific to them and never spread to either her or her two cats. I was surprised (& relieved!)

Thanks! Good to know. They did look a bit like they might have already tried and found out why it was bad move

Pretty much cat-proof, yes. My old BD - a major hunter had a go at one once, which promptly balled-up and he learned the hard way what all those prickles can do. He never more than sniffed one again and they coexisted pretty well.

A familiar face scoping the path to Lee station.

Whatever could he want?

Probably some sort of ritual sacrifice. Failing that, cat food.

Whatever it is, you should give it him. This does not look like a cat to be messed with!

He's already been fed.

Well he can't have any more of my heart or affection because they're all his ENTIRELY (for a while now)

Not even remotely cute.
The first of the kittens to escape the big rubber bucket.
I think it's safe to say this one is socialised now.

You can't say lavatory without saying tory.
Me or the kitten?

This poor little mite got abducted by its mother and taken outside to be hidden in the hedge.
Fortunately I caught her trying to sneak another one past me.
After a nervous night worrying about rats and other predators I heard her meowing loudly in the undergrowth the next day and was able to call her out and grab her. She is now safely back with the litter in the cage and I've revoked her mother's open door privileges.

Got a call from the vet with Jakey's urinalysis results this morning!
Great news - no bacteria remain so he needs no further treatment for the UTI, it's completely gone
Protein levels in the urine down on last time which means his kidneys haven't declined any further during the illness or treatment.
We are to carry on with his daily Fortekor pill for his kidneys and the vet said quite sternly that he doesn't want to see us for the next 3 months until his next checkup is due, so that's Jakey told to stay well!
Such a relief

And just to confirm that he is still the same old Jakey, he just tried to turn around on my lap, tripped over his own feet, and abseiled down my legs gripping onto my tshirt with his front claws and a worried expression on his face, only to land on his back on the floor tangled up in his blankie - I had to rescue him from his own clumsiness and idiocy - some things never change

some cats didn't get the graceful / always land on their paws message...

Considering a couple of weeks ago I really thought on a few occasions he looked like he was going to die because he was that ill and that drugged up, it's really really good news - I knew he was feeling better but to know there's no bacteria lurking in his bladder waiting to make him ill again and require more treatment is such an incredible relief.
Now just to carry on and hope his kidneys keep on ticking along for the forseeable and that he doesn't do himself a mischief falling off anything...

I always say he wasn't in the queue when feline grace was being handed out, he had gone back to the canteen for leftovers instead

It was really noticeable when we had 3 cats and they were all young (less than a year between oldest and youngest) - they'd be dashing round chasing one another and Sonic would leap up to the top of the bookcase and charge along it and jump to the next bookcase about 1.5m away, closely followed by Radar - poor Jakey would try to follow them and go splat on the side of the first bookcase and slide down it with all his legs scrabbling like in a cartoon - bless his little heart.

Thor was that cat. He was very... special.
