I would just like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your amazing words and support, both through Ben's illness, recovery and then his shocking passing. He was a gorgeous member of the family and will be greatly missed.

I think no one was more shocked than the vets.... Who now think is was a genetic problem which was obviously triggered off by this mystery poison - or something, (still not sure!)

It has had a devastating effect on my dad's wife who has decided to have a little time out and visit some friends and family, a much needed break, but for so soon after Ben's brother dying, (Chester) and previous cat Dee passing, it is quite understanding!

This website is such a wonderful place where, to be honest, we can all show our emotions and not feel embarrassed - People think I'm bonkers for getting so involved in some certain feline issues !!!  (People!!!)

So once again,
Ta

OMG how awful ..... my heart goes out to your Dad and his wife and the rest of the family.  :(

We were all routing for Ben and were thinking he was on the mend ... it must be terrible shock for everyone involved.



RIP Ben you gorgeous boy.  Much loved and will be sorely missed by your family.  Play hard at the bridge big lad.

Hi Ellie (Can I see new additions!!- Sorry haven't been around much!)

Ben is back at his normal vets now..... and....... Da - Da..... He ate today..... Yay !

Although not his medicine just around it  :sneaky:

Trying not to get too excited as he is still poorly and he gets some important test results at about 4:30 today,

I think the vet is still insisting he is still on a drip and poorly but at least some good news ( ? !)
