Kitty is going through a lot bless her, got this email from the vet assistant this morning:

Morning Mary,

Kitty’s operation went well she had quite a lot of teeth removed and is on some antibiotics. She is doing fine so far, she is due to be checked next week so once she has seen the vet I will keep you posted.

I had two from being kittens for a full thirteen years, then nearly five more years until June 2006 , when bully went at nearly eighteen. Billy came in eight weeks later at two months old. He is still here. Wonderful experience to have both of those cats. You should enjoy it very much.  :hug:   :hug:

Definitely our gain :Luv2:

Was thinking of going away for a few days but can't really afford to spend money on that cos just bought a king size bed which arrives next Nonday and had to buy new duvet and sheets and a couple of duvet covers to go with it  :rofl:

Maybe a few days in my new bed with plenty of room before they arrive will have to do  ;) :evillaugh:

Mary, my two were in a similar situation - owner died and the family didn't want them. Their loss, our gain, eh?

Why don't you book a cheeky couple of nights' B&B while you're waiting for your girls? Make the most of your free time before you're a full-time slave again!

Had a call from the vet assistant this afternoon and she said that Kitty was having her dental.  She said the reason for the ear wash was because she was so timid they didn't want to put drops in and clean them so they are doing it when she is under the anaesthetic having her teeth done. She will let me know tomorrow what she had done. She will be on anti-biotics for a week and then see the vet again next Tuesday or Wednesday.  So it looks like it might be the back end of next week when I become a mum again ;)

Thanks you 2  :hug:

Dawn it seems so on the outside BUT inside I'm going crazy  :evillaugh: :evillaugh:

The thing is, when I got Bonnie from them she had received all her care and had everything done and I could get her straight away.

Also, with me being a volunteer for them and doing the home checks for the cats I know what they have to go through tomake sure the cats are ok to go.  It's really good that they do all this but I must admit my patience is being tested but it will all be wrth it when I'm cuddled up to them next week.  Our king size bed will be here on Monday 1st June so I'll be getting that ready for us all  :hug: :rofl: :Luv2:

It's getting nearer the time  ;D :Luv2: :hug:

This is the email I received yesterday so if all goes well today, they might just keep her another week for her mouth to heal:

The cats were dumped because the owner passed away and the daughter didn’t know what to do with them, unfortunate but at least they are going to have a wonderful life with you now.

Kitty will be kept on the vidalta once she is adopted and will need to stay on that for the rest of her days I think, this will help manage it.

When I said the bloods came back fine I was meaning she was ok for the anaesthetic for her dental. We will go thorough everything to do with her medical when you adopt her. It’s a bit difficult at the moment as she is still on-going with treatment, but as soon I know I will let you know.


Kitty’s Blood results have come back fine. Kitty is going up for her dental and ears flushing tomorrow.

After Kitty has had her dental she should not need any further treatment for that once her mouth has healed.

Her ears may be an ongoing thing, they may need drops to maintain clean ears, but we will know more after they have been flushed.

It's an unwritten rule that cats always lie across the bed and so take up way more room than if they lay the other way.

Its getting closer! Fingers crossed for the blood test on monday  :crossed:

Denzel & Dexter have never really snuggled together since they were really small, as long as they get on thats the main thing.

I think you often find with pairs there is one thats really confident and hopefully Tisha will help Kitty to relax if she is more reserved x

Had another email from Linda thismorning:

Tisha is the most confident, so she likes to take over the sofa! Kitty might like one of the hooded beds to start with, (or even a cardboard box) as she may take a little longer to relax in a new home. She will probably hide somewhere at first.

I haven't seen them cuddling up together, but they seem perfectly happy in each others company. When I first brought them here, they were in the same basket in the car and they were fine - no hissing or anything like that.

I have put down two large litter trays for them, and they are happy to use them - no accidents yet!

They have never tried to go outside. I think they would enjoy being in your company, and would just sit on the windowsill and look out.

As they are two lovely oldies, they probably don't play as much as a younger cat would, but I have still put some toys down for them if they want to play - ping pong balls and toy mice.

Kitty is seeing the vet on Monday to have another blood test, so I will let you know as soon as we get the results back.

Thanks again for your patience,

Linda x


They sound great don't they?

Blood test Monday, results on Tuesday and then the dental and ear wash so fingers crossed it all happens quickly.  Mind you, I have ordered a new bed and yes, I wentforthe king size for extra room for us all and it's not coming until the 1st June.

It's great how we all appreciate how we all feel about being without a cat or 2  :hug: :Luv2:

I've never waitedfor something as long as this before but at least I'll be happy knowing they are both healthy when they get here.

I so miss having a kiss and cuddle before going to sleep and even being woke up during the night.

I've been thinking of getting a new bed, maybe I should get a king size now I'm getting 2 cats  :evillaugh:

I know how hard it is to be cat free for a time.  I lost our last cat Chloe 6 years ago to a brain tumour.  My Asthma has since got worse, so now I doubt if I could have a kitty, and I at least need to do a series of cat tests first (I'm not allergic).  I do have my Cairn x who grew up with cats, so is very cat like.  It still doesn't feel the hole of a cat though.  I just get pleasure from watching cat videos on You Tube, and finding more about cats on Pinterest.

I can't wait for you two get your two new kitties, it's going to be so exciting.
