we've got a giant carrier that holds both of them
and is probably interrupting a very important business nap.
I feel certain you have used that turn of phrase, I thought of you while I was typing it, and it is most apt wrt Cat Business
Sorry for your loss. Also, Tinker is a beautiful void.Thankyou for all the lovely messages re George .
Can't believe how quiet it is, he was a very vocal cat and would chat all day, to anyone, loved human company.
Tinker has to sleep alone now, for the first time in 12 years, he was abandoned and George took him in. . He purred yesterday for the first time, but he still raises his head hoping George will be there. I'm spending more time than usual on the floor, just so Tinker has some company at his head height.
Went to RSPCA shop to get a new bowl, they didn't have any, but picked up this toy for Tinker.

That's lovely
Love meeting kitties on holiday. The hotel I'm staying in has several and feeds all the strays.

Right, the vet phoned me earlier.
No sign of infection, high protein in his urine, poor numbers for other kidney related stuff - he's officially in late stage CKD.
This is what we thought already when he started going off his food a bit and losing more weight over the last few weeks, so the tests have just confirmed what we sort of knew already.
Vet wants him in on both Monday and Tuesday all day for IV fluids to give his system a good flush out and rehydrate him, he'll be an outpatient and will be coming home (with IV catheter still in place ) Monday night.
After that we'll give subcutaneous fluids a go at home and see whether Jakey will be amenable to having that done.
I need to email the vet tomorrow to ask a couple of questions that I forgot to ask on the phone, and to discuss the all important question about what our expectations should be in terms of how long are we delaying the inevitable, which is a conversation I wasn't in the right frame of mind to have when I was woken by my phone ringing this morning!
Hoping it all works out for the best for your boyRight, the vet phoned me earlier.

Love it when they do that!
Kizzy has been fully sitting/lying on my arm recently and puts her paw on my hand using the mouse after forcing her way onto my lap

That tortoiseshell looks mischievous!
Much love to you all epona. You've done that little kitten so well at every turn to make sure he's well looked after. It's a horrible situation to be in but remember you have always, always done right by him.Right, the vet phoned me earlier.
