Think I ought to be really honest about this rehoming, the lady who is taking Teabag actually came to look at Christy but the Teabag got wind of what was going on and purred her little head off and choose the lady ,poor Christy didnt stand a chance, now the lady would have happily taken Christy as well but the Teabag being a proper fussy madam will not tolerate other cats in any shape or form.
Christy says he doesnt mind putting up with me for a while longer,while the Teabag is counting the hours to packing her bags :rofl:

Felix A.G.A.I.L. this morning, bowl licked clean after me telling the Teabag that I had changed my name to Old Mother Hubbard, got to go to P.at H. for Minimopsicals puppy training pads so will buy some Gourmet Pearls as a special treat for the lovely intelligent girl.

Well after an exhausting day I realised I had used all the gourmet so took a satchet of Felix as good as it looks out to the Teabag and she duly turned her nose up. I asked her politely if she would prefer to go back to a dish of milk and cup of tea or if she would prefer to go without, the madam ate the Felix :rofl:
She is one clever puss

Katy teabag used to love the Natures Menu and the Felix as good as it looks but now she is used to a better standard of service she has become increasingly fussy turning her little nose up at the wet and eating the dry. Yesterday a very special person who had no idea of this kindly donated some Gourmet Pearls which was duly served up today, in less than a minute the gourmet was eaten and Katy was doing her best impression of dish washing.
To that very kind and special person a huge  :thanks: and purrs from the Teabag.

Poor Katy Teabag has suffered a setback, just when she started to look beautiful with her newly grown fur I noticed a couple of suspicious bald spots. We have been back to the vet who says this is not the same as the original Mange problem but he thinks this is an allergic reaction. So if no better in a couple of weeks  we will have to have allergy tests done. :(

Results of Katy Teabags skin scrapings have come back negative, so at last we can think about getting her neutered and make plans for rehoming after that.

Christine she is doing just fine,even her bald ankle bracelets are regrowing, may take a few more days for results of skin scrapings to come through  and if negative we can think about spaying her.

Hi Teresa,

What a dainty little girl Katy seems to be....nothing like her namesake ha ha.  She is lovely. So pleased for you both that this case looks like having a happy ending.

Lots of love to you all

Oh no, I've been rumbled! ;)  It is me indeed.

A relative of the woman in question is one of our supporters.  She went last night to set the trap again after receiving instructions via text from me (I was sat in the vets most of last night waiting my turn).  So we are keeping everything crossed that they will be successful today in catching her.  If they do catch her our vet will keep her in and treat her as required, that side is already sorted out.  If not, I use Program for my more timid ferals anyway, so I can provide that for her, not be a problem, at least it would make a start.

There probably is a pattern to the cat's appearance but I don't think she is really aware of it, she just puts a dish of food out and it either goes or doesn't.  She is not a cat lover in particular, but as she feeds her and feels sorry for her, she can't be all bad, although I can't imagine her taking notes for me!!  

Thanks for the advice though.  Much appreciated.  Glad Katie is doing fine.  She's a very lucky girl!  ;D xx

Hey She,

How did the trapping go? It's strange that the food was disappearing. Could the bar going to the  trip plate be rusty and not slipping when the cat steps on the plate? I've had that happen. Utterly frustrating.

I don't suppose there's any chance of a photo of Katy, now that she's getting all that glossy fur back?
