Hi I too when I was very much younger suffered horrendous migraines .. paralysis rhs, everything went like a Picasso painting & would thow up... my 1st one was when I was 6...we were holidaying in Oz from PNG & it was cold so mum taught me plain knitting. Dad came into where I was knitting &...

Hi Marg pain’s a dreadful thing. Was diagnosed 08/17 with polymyalgia rheumatica PMR basically pain all over due to inflammation. Did post last year after 4 doses of high prendisone that I was doing acupuncture 3xweek from 1.5 to 2.5 hrs for 6 wks. It didn’t help. I take fish oil, magnesium & tu...

Hi Marg yep the “black paw” as well as back turned & nose in the air. They forgive in their time & usually afternyouve worried yourself sick with the possibility something’s wrong. fusses to Bella from Vivian & the famous five from Oz.

Hi Fjm love the chair & obviously Pippin does too!! I envy anyone who can do anything like this... I don’t even know how to paint & I need to do a wall in my walk-in-rob & just keep looking at it something I’ve been doing for over 12mths. I’ve watched diy you tubes but... guess I just ne...

Hi Bobby’s Girl sorry to read you’ve been unwell & missed on outings. Hope the kitties are keeping you company. Vivian & the famous five from Oz who send fusses to you & your gang.

Hummm I’ve 4 trays atm all uncovered; 2 medium sized in my bathroom, 1 normal in Pebbles’s room & same in my ensuite. All trays are scooped out re solids & the two in the bathroom rotated every day which means a tray is washed out with antibacterial mix every day. The other 2 trays every 2nd...

Hi Issi feel your heartache dear friend but take solace in Booktigger’s & Jan’s posts. I’ll add Little Paws looks after an 18-yr old Abbysinnian, Silly Tilley, who was diagnosed with kidney failure last year. Deb had her put on a drip for 24-hrs when 1st diagnosed & she was like a new cat. O...

Definitely peas in a pod! Great pic & glas that Kala’s doing well. Fusses to them all. Vivian

Well Folks I thought things were chugging along but last night Pebbles decided to have a go at placid TC & Harper went to his defence. Pebbles was banished to the 3rd bedroom for the night. :( She’s out now but she’s been growling/stalking the 4. Guess I’ll be buying a water bottle.....me thinks...

Hi Gabby Gizzmo was a very lucky boy to have you as his parent. I really can’t add any more other than what Bobby’s Girl, Lilith & others have said. You’ll receive empathy & support whenever & whatever you post. Vivian

Hi Dave it was great news to read your update on Stealth & Maya. They certainly are lucky pair to find you both. Hope you post more updates. Fusses to them both. Vivian

Sue how right you are... she looks at me as though to say “you’ve got to be joking ... what do you think I am...” Last night on going to bed she was elegantly reclining on my camphor box. Little Bentley’s been trying to make friends but she as you cann see is aloof. Harper’s become a little sooky - ...

Hi Folks here she is ...fingers xd she gets adopted. Look at those eyes. Very leggy girl would do famously on the “Cat Walk” :

Hi Alan he returned to London on Fri to a 5-Star hotel & was caught in a protest. I think he got off @ St James Stn, caught a cab to the hotel ... cost £60.. usual 25min ride took 2+hrs. About to post pic of Pebbles wish me luck. Vivian

Hi folks we have a prominent radio announcer here, Alan Jones, who did a rush trip last week to Exeter, UK, for a family funeral. Back on radio today mentioned weather was pleasant last week but more like Siberia over the weekend. Sounds like all had a great St Paddy’s day. Alan agree great pic. Btw...

Hi everyone I’ve been watching the news re “the beast from the east” & thinking of you all. Friend who lives in Penarth, Wales posted on my fb snow & waves crossing the road at Penarth Yacht Club. Hoping you, your furbabes & those who live in various abodes in your gardens stay safe. Viv...

Hi Catslave thanks for sharing the poem. I posted under Mitzi that I hope you’re feeling better. Btw I’m doing a bit of editing for a children’s author, Jennifer Poulter. Jennifer is a cat lover & asked me to do edit her “Catitudes” poetry book. It’s published on line by Word Wings. She’s also o...

Hi Lazarus the pics just confirm you did the right thing by taking them when you did! And CS Lewis’s one of my favourite authors not to mention love visiting a pub for a vino or two. Catslave hope you’re feeling better. Vivian

Hi poor Mitzi & like Lilith agree posts here offer sound advice. Keep us updated & needless to say lots of fusses to Mitzi. Does she have to be bandaged at all for stability re the pelvis? Vivian

Hi Grace so sorry to read your post & no you’ll be feeling the loss. I can’t add anything more than what others have posted. Take care & as Alan posted Dave’s at the Bridge with our fur babes waiting for us to join them - imagine the welcoming party... Vivian & the famous 4 from Oz

Hi Runmad that sounds very exie nearly $3000 in Australian $ ... I’d really be talking to your vet re making fortnighly payments they’re usually understanding. Here we have a company, Vetcare, offered through vets which draws up contracts for vet bills & they’re cheaper than credit cards albeit ...

Hi Lowkey condolences on your Oscar. As posted on the “anxious” post my comments would only repeat what others have said. Ziggy will certainly pick up that you need some comforting they’re very intuitive to our emotions. RIP Oscar...vivian

Hi I can’t add to what’s already been posted by those who gave me support when I lost Mayday. All I can say is don’t fight your emotions it’s part of the grieving process & Lilith’s advice is thoughtful & wise. RIP little un. Vivian

Hi Millie’s certainly a cutie & think it’s great you’ve taken her in. I’m sure she’ll repay you tenfolds. Vivian

At least they stayed in them ... Harper rolled & rolled until she got out of it. I haven’t tried again. Has been suggested I try a different model; harness that is not the wearer Keep us posted if there are any more walkies in the great outdoors. Vivian

Hi agree with others re advice from vets & the person from whom you’re getting the kittens. FYI Little Paws Kitten Rescue over here uses Advantage for kittens.

Stuart I too am sorry to read the diagnosis on Robbie. Please give this handsome boy lots of fusses & ear rubs. Treasure your precious boy & praying you both have more memories to make. And agree with Antonio’s comment about our furbabes being given a raw deal. Sure you know that you & R...

Hi Jan it’s an old wives tail but sometimes these adages have some merit - butter on the Paws - they lick it off & this apparently helps them settle. My mum told me to do this when Crystal came to me - she’d had a torrid time - and she never left me. Even when she got out a week after arriving. ...

Hi Jools & if this is your first post, welcome. I can’t offer advice on a tracker as my four are inside cats. However I do rely on gut instincts & your comment about ‘stomach’ and ‘anxiety’ .... would make me reconsider. I’m sure more experienced others will post comments/advice.

Lucy has ecerlectic tastes - dreamies & a parsty. Glad she’s feeling better.
