I saw something nasty in the woodshed!
Prince Shafi
One of the local cats seems to have taken residence just outside my back gate, and is desperate to come into my back yard. As he went to follow me in this morning I spotted Missy emerging from the cat flap and so quickly shut the gate. I could really do without her going psycho at a cat on her patch.
It's a shame, because he's lovely, and well up for a tummy tickle.

Had a call from the cat rescue earlier, they're coming to home check us next weekend and then, all being well, we get to meet the kittens!

I captured Floyd lolling about on the bbq shack roof tonight. He may look cute but he's been in pure killer mode recently, we probably don't have any birds left living in our garden now [emoji20]

He then decided to follow us over the field walking the dog, we must look like a strange gang, the Mrs and I in evening lounging attire with an old snuffling Staffy and a flamboyant cat sprinting from Bush to tree to patch of long grass.

She's much better now, but is staying in hospital for a couple of days. Must be horribly lonely for her, but am relieved she's still with us.

I spoke too soon, blood tests are back and her kidneys have failed. they said they could send her home for a couple of days tlc, but one of us thinks that would be cruel, so maybe she will just be put down tomorrow. I dunno. She must know she's on the way out. Would she be better off at home? My friend thinks that it could be cruel as she would think she was getting better. I'm not sure I agree though. Animals know when they're dying (or is that just sentimental folklore bullshit?)

Sorry, Orang Utan
I'd take the vet's advice - if they don't think she's going to get better, and that her QoL isn't great, then I take the decision to have her euthanised sooner rather than later. If it won't do her any harm to go home, then you could do so, to prepare for the end. It's a horrible thing to have to decide when the time is right, and it can make you think about pet 'ownership' in a different way afterwards.

gut feeling is that being at home with familiar people and territory is going to be best, but not if it's just prolonging suffering

Aw, poor poorly Leeloo. It's hard to think of this mistress of the universe not being well. Honestly OU I'd go with the vet's opinion *unless* there are humans at home (of whatever age, including you...) who really feel the need to have her home for a final night or two to say their own goodbyes. I don't think it'd be 'cruel' to the cat because it would be giving her false hope - because honestly, cats don't hope for much anyway except maybe mice or a shag. But I don't think it would be 'cruel' to Leeloo to *not* take her home either. Really sorry about the situation, whatever decisions you all make.

Only just saw this. I can’t take the credit; my boyfriend took it.
Sorry for your news (((Orang Utan))) and (((Leeloo)))

If Mr Peanut says It's okay, then it is.
So sorry Orang Utan. I really couldn't advise you either way. If they could guarantee she won't be in any pain then I would say bring her home. But I don't suppose they can. I'm waffling now, hugs to you and ((leeloo)) x
