Poor Betty. At least she was loved, well fed and kept warm at Caroline's. Poor baby.  :(

I don't know how Caroline manages.

Sadly.. Betty was PTS today.. Renal failure and breathing problems... She had been with us since Christmas.. Found in a terrible state and taken to our vets, we thought she was very elderly.. But at least she has a few months of TLC... RIP Betty, wish we knew your life story abit more.. A gentle puss cat with minimal needs in life, warm bed and nice food.
Cannot save the world, but if everyone does something we can have a jolly good job trying too....

I have a huge stash of various renal foods that Clapton won't eat so I will drop them off at Caroline's next week. Hopefully Betty isn't as fussy  :evillaugh:

Sharon told me this morning that Betty might be staying with Caroline. She couldn't be in a better place really. Quite a few "fosters" have lived their retirement out at caroline's house. Nice big garden for the summer and a range for the winter  :)

This is Caroline's dog Miah with a foster kitten - she mothers them  :Luv2:

Aww my gran was Betty  :Luv:

I just SO love the older cats (in a way the older the better) but Katie the minx wouldn't put up with it  :doh:

Fingers crossed for her  :Luv2:

I quite like them too Mark, my mum was called Betty and her mum (my gran) was called Alice  :Luv:

My Grans were Ethel and Rebecca - not really kitty names  :evillaugh:

I've heard of a few Ethels  :)

Even a lady has an alimentary canel, Mark  :evillaugh:

No canel chanel No5 odour from the tray  :evillaugh:

Honestlly, I bag it and bin it upstairs but the smell lingers for quite some time  :sick: - she has a knack of waiting until we eat  :sick:

I use a natural spray but have to be careful of water bowls etc.

I don't know who chooses all these "old lady" names but I like them for senior cats  :Luv2:

I keep meaning to ask who named Alice. We were going to change her name but decided it suited her so well as she is such a lady (apart from the stinkers she leaves in the tray  :evillaugh: )

Sharon asked me this morning if I would like to offer her a home but realistically, we have to draw the line at 3 cats due to their various issues with other cats. If anyone is interested, I'm sure Sharon could find a photo although she is really busy at the moment. I'm sure she said the cat's name is Emily.

Not easy trying to rehome a 16 year old but hopefully there is someone out there for her.
