    Said goodbye to Tarka on Tuesday

    On Tuesday, I had to make the heartbreaking decision to put my beautiful Tarka girl to sleep. She had given me so much love and had fought for so long, it was tempting to ask her to carry on for just a little bit longer, but it wasn't fair. She asked me to let her go. I got Tarka in April...

    A tribute to my Luca cat who died two months ago yesterday.

    25th February 2003 – 10th June 2014 I first saw my Luca cat when she was a few weeks old.  She stole my heart. I collected her when she was nine weeks old and I am sure that was too young – I actually took her from her mum which always made me feel sad.  She was so scared; she snuggled under...

    My little Luca cat

    It has been a very long time since I posted. I had to put my little Luca cat to sleep on Tuesday. She got sick on my bed last week Thursday and was then just not herself. I thought it was just a cold or something she had eaten. Until Saturday night when she started twitching while lying on my...

    Is Tarka bulimic?

    Hello I hope that you are all keeping well. Tell me, is it possible for a cat to be bulimic? Tarka gobbles up her food and then throws it up. About 90% of the time is it undigested. There is no fur or grass in the vomit. It doesn't seem to distress her but obviously it is a concern and it...

    A little black kitten

    Hi all DH and I were woken up in the early hours of this morning by a pathetic little mew. When we got up to investigate we found a tiny black kitten in the kitchen. It went frantic when it saw us but I managed to catch it in the bathroom at which point it bit me really hard on my index...

    Tarka's walking!!!!!

    Albeit quite unsteadily and she falls down every now and then. But she is actually walking!! I am so happy! Here is what happened. I took her for her accuopuncture on Tuesday. It wasn't a very positive session as he said that we had been doing it for 3 months and could extend to 6 but there...

    Sorry - it is for a selfish reason. I am writing my Project Management Certification exam tomorrow. It is a very tough Stats based exam. I have spent the entire weekend studying and have been working on it since November. I am feeling very nervous now. I write at 9am tomorrow morning...

    My present this morning

    A few months ago, Luca bought me a hamburger patty as a gift - you can read about it here: http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...threadid=28735 Since then she has bought me odd stuff; a wound dressing, polystyrene, etc. Last night, I woke up to find a pot scourer and a dish washing sponge...

    YAY! Tarka stood on her own today!

    Only for about 20 seconds and she was very wobbly. But she last stood unaided about 2 months ago so I am really chuffed! And, a very kind lady from America sent me a very fancy litter box that she is able to get in and out of on her own as well! So no more messes on the floor, stinky wee cat...

    Tarka's new wheels

    Hi guys Check them out. She hasn't taken to them terribly well yet and we are still trying to adjust them so that they fit her properly. Her back isn't aligned properly with it now, so we are going to change a couple of things tomorrow. But pretty cool, hey?

    Munchie would have been 8 years old today.

    I miss him so much. I can't believe that he has been gone from me for almost a year. I miss you munch munch. I wish that I could snuggle you one more and have you dribble on my head at night while I sleep. I love you.

    I cried last night....

    Luca came in with a little sparrow that she had caught. This was the fist bird that she had caught and she was justifiably proud. I told her how proud I was, gave her a nibble and then managed to grab her away from the bird and put her in another room. Andrew then caught the bird, we put it...

    How cool is this?

    I have a very wealthy uncle. Before my grandfather died, my uncle and he travelled together extensively. My grandfather fought in Italy in World War 2 and when he was in Florence with my uncle, told him that he wanted half of his ashes interred with his war comrades. My uncle called me this...

    I feel so weird!

    I just received news from someone that I used to work with, a girl that I used to be quite close to - one of the sweetest and kindest girls in the world (when it looked like I was being retrenched, she put a rose and a note on my desk to say that she was thinking about me), died last month! She...

    My new sheepskin slippers!

    Luca is so funny! My aunt gave me these lovely new sheepskin slippers. They have the wool on the top and inside and then a type of leather on the outside. They are wonderful! Unfortunately Luca thinks so too! I came home from work yesterday and could not find them anywhere. I hunted through...
