The kittens took their first steps into the garden today. Biscuit first, followed eventually by Bon Bon.

Well, 2 weeks after picking up Bon Bon and Biscuit, we’re happy to report that they’re settling into their new home really quickly. They’re already very affectionate and enjoy each others’ company as well as their new owners’! We’re treated to a regular event at around 9.30 each night of ‘play-fighting’ where throats, legs and …

They’re here… Biscuit and Bon Bon – June 2005Got back from Janet and Nigel’s at around 1.45. As expected the kittens were very cautious at first, but after an hour or so of ‘casing the joint’, the seemed more relaxed. Janet and Jo came up for Dinner and we all spent ages kitten-watching. It’s always …

We’ve decided that we’ll look into getting some kittens later this year… …probably Persians (again!) and/or Chinchillas Steve PalmerI got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until …

Bubsy seems to have deteriorated overnight. She can hardly walk now. I think it’s fair that we take a decision this evening when we get home fromm work before she suffers anymore. We’re both pretty upset about it, and poor puss doesn’t seem to have a clue what’s going on around her… Came home to …

Spoke with the Vet this morning, who more or less said that it’s ‘down to us’ now about what we do. The Vet was very sympathetic and said that if we have to bring Bubsy in for the ‘final injection’, they’ll ensure we’re treated with respect and not asked to wait in the crowded surgery… …

We’re both out at work today, so we hope she’ll be OK. She seems much the same. But considering her condition, she’s certainly very alert Steve PalmerI got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s!

Bubsy has been very lethargic the last few days, so we thought we had better get her checked out. Fourteen years for a Persian is pretty good going! …but we learned today, after getting the results of her blood test that she’s a very sick cat! 🙁 🙁 🙁 The Vet reckons she hasn’t got …
