Your daily cat and kitten news

Hmmm! - This morning Clive was looking a lot less sorry for himself and was making his way upstairs to "serenade" me by way of pre-thanks for the breakfast I was going to serve him

Face was still swollen and puffy but no where near as bad as last night and that he was showing interest in food is always a good sign

I "think" we've got a wasp nest or two up in "top garden" and I've seen some rather large wasp like looking stingy things that could be hornets(?) or something equally that you wouldn't want to be stung by . . . like you'd see in Australia . . . that kind of nasty looking

So he's probably reacquainted himself with them . . . you'd think he'd learn
 
I can't remember if I've posted this one before... it's a long thread. :)

Radar was put to sleep in my arms this evening, we spent some time with him beforehand to say goodbye. Turns out that his health issues were caused by him battling what was probably cancer in multiple places including brain tumour, we decided given the neurological involvement and other complications from having a weakened immune system and such a poor prognosis no matter what, that we wouldn't put him through any further tests. He went peacefully with his head resting on my arm

Sorry to hear this. It was a similar story with my cat a few years ago. It’s a horrible thing to have to do :(
 
Oh Epona. I'm so sorry. Radar was your special, beautiful, troublesome boy. You have done the kindest thing to round off a cat's lifetime of loving care from you. Real condolences from me.
 
Sorry for rambling on a bit - I also just want to say that Wanstead Vet Hospital treated us all very well - we were there for over 2 hours visiting Radar, going through his notes and test results with a vet, once we had made the decision we were given the time we needed alone with Radar to try to come to terms with it and say goodbye, we weren't at any point rushed, and the whole thing was treated with sensitivity and sympathy.

It was still horrible and heartbreaking, but they did their best to reduce stress for all of us in a difficult time.

It still doesn't really seem real mind you.
