Oh good news. More money for our babes!!! Would love the morphing stuff for myself but would only play with it a while then stop using it. Some of our peeps can use it more effectively I am sure...

No problem, I was going to give the software away anyway, so I rang the company up and asked if that was OK. Apart from the Morphing program, all the software is made by Serif, and they want the programs distributed (so long as they aren't illigal copies) and they were very happy for me to pass it on to anyone. The morphing program was distributed by Serif, so that one's OK too.

I've got some duplicates of other software too. Some of it has manuals, so I'm going to have to weigh them to work out the postage!

Somehow I've ended up with two copies (legitimate copies that is!) I wonder what I can do with the other one.

Gosh, Sonia looks JUST like Ollie  :Luv:

Ollie was only meant to last a few weeks, too... he's the same as Sonia, a palliative-care foster.

He arrived in early October.  :-:

Getting very wobbly now, but hey - I've stopped trying to second-guess him now. He'll let me know when it's time for him to go.

It's been slow going getting Sonia socialised with the others, because I kept her separate for quite a while to start with. She was so weak I couldn't take the risk of them using her litter tray, or sharing food bowls, and passing on something that they could more easily shake off. She's much stronger now, so I think it's worth the risk. She now has the run of the house, and is getting more confident all the time, even going to pinch their food! Until today she'd only do that if there was a maximum of one cat in her path, but she had to pass all three.
This was taken a few minutes ago, with Neit on the left.

On top of my internet problems, she insists on attention when I'm trying to type! I know I've spoilt her rotten, but she hasn't taken too much advantage, even though I can't sit down to dinner without her staring imploringly at my plate!  :rofl:

Well I've got my internet connection working at full speed at last so I'll post an update, and some pics.
Apparently Sonia was only expected to last about a week, but she's still here after 3 months! She seems to be more active than ever, and from time to time I have to chase her down the road, peering into other people's gardens, hoping they won't complain!  :rofl:

She looks like she is doing well, and enjoying life. The only tests i would do at the vets is a blood test - cats can live long lives with both liver probs (Snowy had at least 10 months of raised liver enzymes before it developed into something more), and hyperthyroidism, she certainly looks like she has a will to live now.

Hyperthyroidism (I think I've got that right) and liver failure. I've got a feeling she may be going back to the vet for another check-up, but we've already decided against any invasive examination - either she's going to get better, or more likely she's not, in which case there's no point in making her suffer during the short time she has left.

Neit (the other black one), Pimpernel (ginger), and Bramble (the tabby).
Sonia is shut away from them at night, just to be on the safe side (she probably doesn't have long left and I don't want to stress her too much) so they aren't on the friendliest of terms, and it could take a while.

A few more pics, now my internet works properly (rain stopped play, but I was lucky, no flooding)
These pics are from the last few days. Sonia's been here almost 2 months - not bad considering she wasn't expected to last more than a week!
