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.
