I usually go to bed at 2am. If I happen to want to stay up a bit longer I get Tabs pestering me to go to bed. She stands on the coffee table blocking the TV. She comes up to my face and stares. If that doesn't work she starts jabbing at my knee. Then it's down to the feet and attack time. So I give in and she races onto the bed, meowing impatiently as I brush my teeth. Alright Tabby, I'm coming, dinnae fret.
Then she cuddles up to my face and gives me a look "Isn't that better?" And yes, it is.

Queen Amity is displeased with my eldest who's been on a college trip for 3 days. She usually makes very strong eye contact but has completely ignored R since her return from The Great Abandonment, at one point abruptly turning her head away when R caught her eye.

I suspect he smashed his head into the bed frame whilst grappling underneath it for the slippery character!

Ouch. Wish him a speedy healing!
That's very useful to know, thank you so much!! I got 2 months worth for about £260! Do you just ask the vet for the script then, and then go to this other site?

Have you tried giving him any lactulose at all? Softens their poo right up. What meds did the vet recommend??

Yes, just tell the vet you'd like a prescription (they can't refuse but they will charge!) and then decided which veterinary pharmacy you want to buy it from. It's worth shopping around a bit as prices can vary. Once you've registered with the pharmacy of your choice you order and pay for the drugs but you have to download the prescription for them to check before they dispatch it to you. If you've got a scanner you can email it to them if it's a physical prescription or even send it by post, but obviously that takes longer.

Definitely a rat. Vic does this too but usually, as he knows we shout at him to get out when he does, he tends to do it in the wee small hours and we find what’s left the next morning. Good practice is to never wander around barefoot in the dark

Lil’ Bob is miserable with his scabby tail so I’ve managed to get his appointment pushed forward to 2.30 today. I’ve brought down the cat carrier in readiness and have just found Vic asleep in it so this could be a slightly more complicated operation than originally anticipated

The latter for sure - since slugs started coming into the kitchen when it rains!Definitely a rat.

Lil’ Bob was good as gold at the vet. The vet was a diminutive Spanish lass who took a shine to him, tweaked his ears and poked his nose while telling him what a handsome boy he is. He got a steroid injection and it seems to have given him instant relief. Of course I’m the bad guy at the moment and when Mrs SFM came home (a bit tipsy after meeting her oldest friend for a drink in town, he petitioned her for food and affection while glowering at Yrs truly. He’ll get over it - esp. when he realises that his scabby arse feels better

Only the best/most devious cats catch rats.
Something about the rat's reaction to cat scent - which provokes a fight or flight response. So to rise to the challenge of catching rats, your cat needs particularly well-honed hunting tactics.

I get the impression from the vet that isn't suitable for him and his health condition at this advanced stage - it works by drawing fluids into the gut, and since we're already working very hard to make sure he doesn't get too dehydrated, any fluid being drawn into the gut is working against that.

I've got a hot water bottle that I share with Jakey when we're both on the sofa, and that I put under his incontinence mat, vetfleece, and other bedding at night, it's in an old thick woven cushion cover so well protected.
Jakey now recognises it on sight and when I am settling down with him and go to put the HWB in place on my tummy he grabs hold of it with his paws and pulls it into place before curling up contentedly and me putting a blankie over him for extra snuggly comfort
It keeps me warm too

Settling down for a nap on Thursday:
And on my lap in a multiple blanket cave, enjoying our shared hot water bottle, just now:
It's difficult to see in photos due to dim lighting in our sitting room (how I like it) and his normal fur colour being quite pale anyway, but he's a bit grey around his chops these days.

Not sure about the windy weather. There are several pages of this...

Thank you! And shouldn't be a problem with Pet Plan?

I'm not sure how it works with insurance but I can't see it being a problem as so many people buy veterinary medicines online these days.
You'd have the confirmation email from the company to prove you'd bought the meds.
Thanks again, really appreciate that
