The probable sighting of our missing cat (see Aug 4th) being absolutely definite! He is coming to my mum's garden to eat, we don't know where he is sleeping or spending his days, but yesterday he came to eat and she stood and watched him and it is definitely him and he wasn't toooo bothered about her being there. So fingers crossed that when the door-with-cat-flap arrives in two weeks, she can start moving his food towards the indoors and he will realise he has a new indoor/outdoor living arrangement smile.gif


Excellent news, Maizie!

There is no New Look in Bath, however, so he is safe... some of the bigger New Looks do have a menswear section though.

Still I should be pleased, at least he's sparing me the guitar shops, Maplin etc. Thing is, I'm still stuck in my lab, waiting for him to come rescue me from data and Excel!

I've missed them so much in the past.... 8 hours they haven't been here.
It all went well, and they've had their various parts taken away. Two boys are back to normal already, completely hyper and rushing around. Poor old Millie has a buster collar which she has to wear for 10-14 days before the stitches come out! She's sleeping peacefully on a big cushion next to me, poor little thing has been getting so frustrated though- keeps walking into things sad.gif
