I won't lie... its been hard going and its not over yet. We still spending each day with fingers, toes, paws, everythign crossed that that is the worst over with. Opal is doing OK... is eating albeit being exceptionally picky... which we don't mind in the slightest.... its just its 1 thing 1 day and another the next... so you never know what it is she wants until you go through the whole list!!!!
(I know got us wrapped round her little paws!
) The other mum is still the same too... just don't want to say too much in case I jinx it!!!
Gill - The mums name was Marbles when she came in... although we were calling her Janey as we didn't really think she suited Marbles and definately never ever answered to it!!! lol She is at peace now. To be honest I think she just gave up. She'd had enough and I don't blame her one bit she has spent her whole life going through a terrible ordeal and it was obviously too much for her in the end.
I was in scrubbing out (again!!!!) later last night after she passed to the bridge and just happened to look at her sister (Bubbles or Gill as we call her! ) and burst into tears as I felt SO SO sad for her. She has watched all the babies die and her sister and whilst yes cats probably don't look at it that way it was upsetting as she was very close to her sister and the way she is with little Opal is wonderful.
Only time will tell what is in store for this last duo and in the meantime all fingers, toes, paws and anything else we can find is well and truly crossed!!!!
