Oh no..... Cat condolences on the loss of Rollo... lovely silly lad 
. Like everyone else, at least relieved that he spent his final days being loved and well cared for.

Super Refuser!
Those who cannot afford it, sadly.ThanksVet rang and said that she's diabetic
Now I feel bad for not noticing and for not taking her to the vet for a check up because the state she was in last night could have been avoided. In any case, vet said I can either inject her twice a day or put her to sleep so I'm going to have to learn how to inject cats but that's fine because I'll have plenty of practice. They'll keep her overnight at least, depending on how she recovers and whatever blood glucose monitoring they'll have to do.
Im feeling relieved it wasn't anything terminal and I'm wondering what kind of person puts their cat to sleep instead of giving them medication they need

Cool people die horrible, preventable deaths.
Thanks Epona
That's what we keep telling ourselves; at least we know the end of his story. Would have been horrible if he'd never come home, to have always been wondering.
And we should all be so lucky eh? If I could choose the manner of my own, it would be exactly like his: I eat, I have a wander round the garden, I drink, lights fade out in the arms of someone I love. Sounds pretty good to me.

She still hates everthing
She has incredibly pretty tortie markings on her face - she is just gorgeous

I hadn't heard back from the vet about Sonic's lab results so I phoned this morning - the vet dealing with his case is not in until tomorrow so she will call me then. I am kind of pissed off that I won't know til then (they did offer to have a different vet phone me later today but I would rather talk to the specialist who is dealing with his case), but also kind of comforted in that I think they would have contacted me right away had anything urgent shown up. But then the depressing little shit part of my brain says well maybe they discovered something untreatable and an extra day isn't going to make any difference.
It's just odd, my poor little love is producing more snot than a horse with a cold and has been doing so for 6 months now, with no apparent reason so far, no sign of actually being ill besides being really really snotty, and no diagnosis yet. I just hope tomorrow the vet is able to say to me "ok we found the cause and we can treat it and it will all be ok". I worry that it won't be so simple though. The other cats are fine, so it can't possibly be something infectious - he's been sneezing all over Jakey daily for months now, and Jakey is fine.

People always say she’s very pretty. I just see teeth and claws tbh!

Thanks! Well we finally (delayed by the bank holiday weekend!) were able to hear about the lab results from the ENT vet - no bacterial infection, nothing viral or fungal, no cell abnormalities indicative of cancer at any stage.
That is I guess the good news.
That means it is almost certainly allergy related, and there isn't any really effective treatment other than to try to manage the symptoms, the vet is going to consult with colleagues and let me know tomorrow what she suggests going forward - looking as if we might be giving nose drops a try - I can't see that going down well with Sonic, he struggles and fusses like mad when I try to wipe snot off his face, he's a bit funny about his face being fiddled with.
Of the multiple cats I meet on my regular walks, there's one who I only ever see when it's dark, and I can't work out why. We bumped into one another last night, and as usual he/she was very happy to see me.
In a separate episode, I finally managed to get one of my regular ones, the one who's built like a fucking breezeblock, to roll over and have his tummy tickled.
