Hi everyone ,

after losing Freddy cat back in March ( who is still very much missed ) we have another cat in our lives. Her name is Bella and she is nearly 4 years old. She is from the RSPCA as well . Personality wise she is the complete opposite of Freddy ( who was very laid back and chilled little man) . Bella is hyperactive , very jumpy and doesn’t like loud noises, or when people are carrying bags . She is allowed outside and we had a cat flap installed for her so she can come and go.
what we have discovered is that she just wants to stay in the garden and doesn’t want to be outside at night. She is usually awake around 7am and then she is on the go all day and then starts to settle ( she naps very rarely in the day) but she comes to bed when we do and then sleeps all night. She is a very busy little thing.
We think that she may have lived in a home that had other pets and small children which she didn’t like ( hence the nervous / jumpiness).
She is a lovely little lady and she is loved very much. ❤.. anyway everyone please meet Bella ❤

There was some thunder earlier which had the bare-faced cheek to wake up Jimmy from his post-breakfast snooze.

He wanted to know what I was going to do about it.

My beloved soul cat Felix died yesterday and I am absolutely heartbroken. He was 15 years old, his health had been slowly declining over the last 2 years but in the last 3 months he had lost most of his vision due to high blood pressure. Although he coped so well with it, I could just tell that his quality of life was getting worse. I spoke to the vet about it but they said he was medically well (he had high blood pressure, diabetes and arthritis). I told them I was worried about his quality of life but was palmed off.

Two days ago he started to become unwell, had diarrhoea and was not using his litter tray (never been an issue) and had gone off his food. I took him to the vet yesterday and his bloods were all off so the options were to stay overnight for fluids, potassium and glucose or put him to sleep. I had to make the decision there and then because he was too unwell to even go home overnight. I just knew he was tired and ready to go so I made the decision to put him to sleep. It all happened to fast and he looked so, so peaceful, just like he was sleeping. I stayed with him for 40 minutes after holding him and telling him that I loved him. He was purring right until the end and just lay on the blanket like he knew it was time.

I know it was the right decision but it’s just so hard. I keep thinking I can hear him tip tapping across the floor or hear him jumping off the bed. I wish I could just see him one last time.

RIP to my beautiful Felix. Mum loves you so, so much and I hope you know I tried my best to give you a good life 💔🌈

(Sorry this is such a long post, thanks for reading)
