She made it easy for me today! Jumped up on my lap for a cuddle, which I took as my opportunity. She put up a good fight and almost escaped just as I'd placed her in there, but didn't quite succeed. We're about to leave now and I've assured her we'll be home before she knows it.

It's always so stressful isn't it. Luckily up till now I haven't needed to get Toby in the carrier often. My heart always beats a hundred beats a minute when I have to.
My little Molly moo that had diabetes. I had to take her regularly to the vets. Bless her heart. She was no trouble.

This is Stick. An abondoned cat I have taken in. Been with me for just a month now. Tried putting him into a rescue centre but they are all full. So looks like I will end up adopting him perma. Already had him vaccinated. Microchipping is booked for November. The first male cat of the family. The girls are getting used to him. Still some hostility, but that should be gone in another month or so.

Oh my god I love him! My heart blipped when I saw him.

I was away over the weekend. Two nights. I couldn’t get anyone to stay with Cat so he was on his own with one visit a day from a neighbour to feed him.
When I got home on Sunday evening he took one look at me, demanded a treat and went out.
When I went to bed he appeared and jumped onto the bed. He stared and stared at me, eyes locked on mine, purring and purring.
As I’ve said, he don’t like to be petted so I only touched him when he reached forward and asked. Took him ages to get over the eye gazing. Then he lay down and asked for neck scratches. Then quickly got overwhelmed /overstimulated and gave me a gentle nip and retreated.
More eye staring with purring last night too. I slow blinked at him but he just kept staring and purring til he’d had enough.
Hardly seen him today.

not the only raver in the village
(Probable) RIP Visitation Cat aka Pilton aka Silas Marner aka The Shadow
He started turning up a couple of years ago, sneaking in and out through the cat flap to raid the bowl. No collar.
A year ago he was hanging around a lot outside our house , often sitting in the drive in heavy rain. Homeless or just curious? He was an outsider and my daughter named him Silas Marner.
Through the village Facebook group, we found out he was called Pilton, lived along the road and was 12 years old. We tried taking him home. Each time we carried him down there he'd just follow us back, or sometimes run along in front.
Recently he's got very skinny and last week starting sleeping in unusual places.
And on Friday morning, he went out after breakfast. He knew it was his time
He loved sitting on laps, being carried around, and was the absolute boss
RIP Shadow

I’m glad his decision to live with you was honoured rubbershoes .
No one named Silas Marner should have to live under the burden of expectation of others.
I’m sure you’re all feeling very sad. I hope it doesn’t hurt too much.

I think Cat really needed a pee.
He’s been asleep aaalllll afternoon. Just now he came through quite speedily and immediately went out the cat flap. No hesitation.
Normally he comes and asks for a treat, hangs around, has a wash before asking me to let him out the door. Willing to wait til I do. None of the delaying this time, just a swift clattering exit.

Aw rubbershoes 
I always enjoyed seeing your pics of Visitation Cat, he sounds like quite a character.
Having not seen local hero Mario for some months now, I fear the worst. He was definitely a venerable old gent so may well have ascended to the next level.
donkyboy Stick is fabulous, I love him! He looks very happy in his new home.

donkyboy - your new (at least to you) slightly sad looking ginger boy is gorgeous, I hope he settles in well with the girls.

Lil’ Bob is on spider patrol and has locked eyes with this chunky monkey that’s living behind the radiator. Mrs SFM will reward him well for his prowess. However I fear that, if he eats it, he’ll bring on the rain

Soooperfloof indeed - do you think there might be a cat somewhere under all that fur?

My beautiful boy Minty had to be put to sleep yesterday and I'm devastated.
For the last week or so he seemed to be having a bit of a problem with his eyes and I was having to put his food under his nose before he saw it but was otherwise fine. I just put it down to him getting older (he was 15) but when I came downstairs on Monday morning I could see he'd gone completely blind as he was bumping into things and disoriented . I phoned the vet as soon as they opened and they told me to go straight down there. After a thorough examination, the vet said she thought there was something nasty going on in his brain, possibly a tumor but there was nothing that could be done about it. I took him home again but he deteriorated badly overnight and was stumbling around and yowling. I knew this was the end but I didn't want to phone the out of hours vet as it's not the practice I go to and I know they won't come out to the house so I just held him and comforted him all night. I phoned my surgery again in the morning and the vet who had seen him the previous day came out to the house and was shocked at how quickly he had deteriorated. I held him in my arms while she gave him a sedative and once her was asleep she gave the final injection and he slipped away peacefully.
I can't believe I'll never see him running full pelt across the field again or trying to stuff a live squirrel through the cat flap as he was such a character.
RIP my precious boy.
