Sorry about Mike parents, I hope you are both ok.

Cob sounds lovely, give the cats a cuddle from me. I will pop in to see you in a couple of weeks, hows your back after your bump down the step?

Both cats sending cuddles to you, even Charlie the once uncuddliable.(not a real word I know).

So sad about Mikes parents and sending my condolences

I hope the funeral will go off without a problem.

Cob sounds stunning and amazing how they can be so determined to get back to their old house, he obviously must have loved his original owner and his home, despite her not caring the same about him.

I just dont understand how people can just leave cats behind or have cats for years and then just rehome them.

So pleased he now doesnt have to look for a home any more

Sorry things are so grim for you both .

Tabby boy Cob sounds lovely , so pleased he wasn''t injured going back to his old house .
Can never understand anyone leaving a cat behind

Still he now has a loving home and couldn''t wish for better .

Sorry I haven't posted for a while. Still snowed under here but personally still not going good. Mike's mum passed away just before Christmas so that's both his parents within two months. Funeral is on Monday and things are not that good between the family so neithetr of us are looking forward to it.

Kitties all doing well. Took a stray in from a rented property a few months ago, Cob - and he seemed to be settling in well with the downstairs cats and after a good month period I decided to let him out. Stupid move. He vanished and didn't come home and I was searching for him for two weeks with no sightings. Turned out he managed to get all the way across town back to the rented property!!!

So he is back home here now and living with the upstairs cats. He is a real gentle giant and such a softie and so lucky not to have had some terrible accident getting back to his home - he had two cross to very busy main roads and travel about five miles. The lady who rents the flat now says he was left behind by the previous tenant and she had been feeding him for about six months but does not want him in the house, hence him having to come here, but how anyone could not love him.

Still he is safe and sound here again now and won't be going on any more travels in the foreseeable future. Luckily for him he is a big giant tabby and Mike can never say no to tabby cats.

Wondering how you all are at Eight Lives - Lesley

Sorry to hear about Mike's Dad and all the problems you are having at the moment. Just sending lots of

and hoping that things improve.

You big tabby boy sounds just like my bridge babe Dylan, he was a big boy but so gentle. Hope he gets on ok at the vets

Angiew · « **Reply #285 on:** November 16, 2010, 11:57:39 AM »

so sorry you are having such a hard time. my condolences to you both.
Easier said than done, but don't take on anything more (even if you have room!) for a while to allow yourselves some respite and I hope your homing picks up to lessen the burden.

LesleyW · « **Reply #284 on:** November 16, 2010, 11:38:57 AM »

Mike is back to work today, spent yesterday sorting out details for his dad's funeral. He is still quite stressed which I think is what is causing his chest pains etc but with his dad just gone, his mum not at all well (kidney cancer) and the family divided by feuds (not caused by us I may add but directed at me!!) it is not an easy time.

We are still carrying on though. Majestic my handrear is coming along well and we took in a giant tabby boy yesterday who had been left behind by previous tentants of a letting agency that Mike does work for. Still entire, so he is at the vets today having those removed!!!. Poor boy wonders what is happening but he is a giant 6kg (though he feels soo much heavier) and quite a gentle lad so he will be recuperating downstairs in a nicely set up pen.

Everyone else fine although we are in the process of re-arranging living accommodation for everyone - basically trying to re-claim our living room for Christmas and moving the cats to their own two specially arranged rooms upstairs, so house is a mess, we're in a mess but we'll keep going.

Love to all.

Lesley how is Mike getting on? Hope he is feeling better and doing as he's told. How are you coping?

All the best

Pinkbear (Julie) · « **Reply #282 on:** November 14, 2010, 14:43:07 PM »

I'm so sorry to hear about all your troubles.

I too know what it's like to be ex-communicated by the in (out!) laws.

nickynoo93 · « **Reply #281 on:** November 14, 2010, 10:39:31 AM »

Sorry to hear about your Father in Law.
Better news about Mike though. Please take care of yourself Lesley, those puddy cats need you to be ok.

Sorry for your bad news x thinking of you x

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #278 on:** November 13, 2010, 16:34:00 PM »

So sorry Lesley and please pass on my condolences

LesleyW · « **Reply #277 on:** November 13, 2010, 16:31:12 PM »

Sorry not updated. Mike is home and seems okay but his dad passed away on thursday evening, so he is now round with his brother and sister sorting out the details. Will be an awkward time as his sister and mother decided to ex-communicate me from the family a couple of months ago so Mike is in the middle.

Swamped as usual here, and handrearing at the moment as well, though little Majestic seems to be doing well.

Thanks for everyone's kind wishes.

Tan · « **Reply #276 on:** November 13, 2010, 12:02:58 PM »

So sorry hun

I hope Mike will be home safe and ok soon. Please give my love to Mike and his dad and to you all.

Lesley - very sorry to hear this

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #272 on:** November 11, 2010, 20:47:08 PM »

Oh Lesley

Sorry you're having such a tough time at the moment

Hope Mike's Dad passing is peaceful

LesleyW · « **Reply #271 on:** November 11, 2010, 20:39:25 PM »

Just heard that Mike's dad is likely to pass away either today or very shortly, so things not getting better around here. I have told Mike that he is not to drive home as he still says his chest does not feel right and the last thing I need is him having chest problems whilst driving. His dad has been ill for some time and his mum has cancer but it is also very difficult as his mother has basically struck me off the family, forbidding me to visit so at the moment I feel pretty helpless.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #270 on:** November 11, 2010, 18:05:07 PM »

I hope he thinks long and hard about it and so pleased he is OK

blackcat · « **Reply #269 on:** November 11, 2010, 10:14:55 AM »

Must be very hard for you to be apart at such a time. Hope he arrives home safe and well and takes the doctor's advice (like he will, he's a man!).

clarenmax · « **Reply #268 on:** November 11, 2010, 10:05:13 AM »

So pleased he's been released, hopefully he'll be able to travel on Friday

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #267 on:** November 11, 2010, 08:12:13 AM »

Glad things dont seem too serious.

LesleyW · « **Reply #266 on:** November 11, 2010, 08:01:00 AM »

Thank you for all your kind words. Mike is now out of hospital and staying with friends in London. I do not want him to travel just yet and he does not want me to go up there and leave all the cats so I should hopefully see him on Friday. A couple of the ECGs were slightly irregular but all other tests came back okay so we are treating it as a warning. Whether he will heed it or not is another matter.
