Glad to hear that Polly is fit and well, she's far from 'old' but I know that one does start to worry more as they get into their teens  :hug:

Haven't come across the term absorbing before Sheila  :-: I googled it and  it seems this is not unusual for her age or painful in any way so am glad all OK with the beautiful black Polly gal  :Luv2:

Polly had her MOT today, clean bill of health.  ;D Some of her teeth are resorbing, but the vet says she's in great condition for her 13 years. She's snuggled up close tonight.  :Luv: Counting my blessings.  :cat rub:

Its great to hear she is still a character  :rofl: if her ears were burning its because we were thinking & talking about her. She always was one of my faves (not that i had favourites  ;))

Catching up with you, Lau. Polly has discovered she can smack down the cat flap when Kuki is trying to get in  :naughty: not that she has anything against Kuki per sey, just Kuki is the only one smaller than Polly.  :slap:

It's her 2nd anniversary of coming to me tomorrow, so just thought I'd pop by and say Hi from our gorgeous, funny, loveable little grumpuss. She's doing great and we hope you are too.  :hug:

I've just been looking at the photos you posted of her. I think she was always meant to be with you, we were just here to help her! We often. Talk about her, as we do most of the others, and I am over the moon to see and hear how happy she is. Give her a fuss from us!

Lau, I thought you'd be happy to have an update, and be pleased to know that Polly is now Mistress of All She Surveys and has adopted my left shoulder as her favourite spot.  :briggin:

She has also taken to herding the boys (including my OH) in at night. OH was stalked all the way to the off licence last week.  :wow: Your diagnosis of "Mother Hen" was spot on  ;D

Thank you for letting her come to me, she's a lovely girl and the most affectionate cat in our busy household.   :Luv:

Hope things are good with you and that your health is improving.  :hug: :hug:

In a way I wish it was Tufty she's cottoned on to, but it's Theo.

He's traditionally the boss in this house but of late his leadership has been severely challenged by Sly da sly, who has been on steroids recently so currently his bullying is around 1000% its usual levels.

Polly seems to have got a grip on the politics here and by pairing up with Theo she's also taken a lot of the argument out of the younger boys (Tuffs and Sly). Theo now sleeps and eats in the house (he's beeen a garden cat for a couple of years) and is friendly and loving towards us too  :shocked: :Luv2:

The knock on effect is that Sly is effectively outnumbered, so is stepping back rather than forward when Polly is present. Therefore Tufty gets an easier ride, too  :)

She's tiny but by God she's effective! A master stroke if I say so meself  :shy:

Aww shucks, thanks everyone  :shy:

If I'd realised this photo of Polly would turn out so well I'd have taken the washing in!

Jo, the dwarf trachycarpus has been with me at three houses now, its the same age as Beau (13) and was a tiny thing in a pot when it first arrived. Now I have to prune it because it insists on spawning babies from its base every year and is just the happiest, healthiest palm tree I've ever known, and is showing no signs of keeping its "dwarf" status at well over 6 feet high!  :wow:

I aimed at "Beer Garden" as a theme - do you think I've got it?

(PS you can't see the large Sauvignan in my left hand)  :naughty:

She taps me on the head aswell  :Luv:

She's a fridge cat too - our furbs are always rewarded with cold chicken from the fridge and they latch on to the fridge door opening...she clocked this within three days and now no-one goes near the fridge without a wee black shadow  :sneaky:

Lau, Polly's doing just fine. I hope this brings you some comfort  :hug:

She's lying on the back of the couch behind me and occasionally I feel a tap on my shoulder  :Luv:

She's so comfortable here and has paired up with Theo, our Tottenham bruiser, who is simply besotted with her (he's also three times her size) so she'll be just fine (Theo fiercely protects "his" women  ;D )

Here's our hero, Theo, Polly's new boyfriend...

What a beauty and I can see she has definitely made a grand entrance, took her place on the stage and is a leading lady!!  ;D ;D How well and quickly she has settled  ;D ;D I'm so pleased for you (and OH who clearly has a new comrad) ;D ;D

and I echo what others have said to Lau - it must have been heartwrenching to let them go but such a great comfort to know your babies have gone to such good homes and that they are settled and happy  :hug: :hug: and on here you get to see updates like these  :Luv2: :Luv2:
