We have a cat-shaped gap in our lives this evening...
Sadly we had to get Tigger put down today - she had been suffering from Chronic Kidney Disease, and despite medication and diet alteration, went downhill quickly this week.
Had a glass or two of wine to toast to her memory. Looking back on the good parts of her life: she was adopted from a cat rescue centre by the mother-in-law, who absolutely doted on her, then when MiL passed away we inherited Tiggs. There were some 'entertaining' moments integrating her with our existing two cats, a pair of boisterous males from the same litter, but the three of them found an accommodation. She loved getting the freedom of access to a garden at will via cat flap, and enjoyed nothing more than sitting on Mrs OH's mouse-hand as she tried to work
She got to 15 years, and it was good quality life, which is as much as we could ask for.
Sitting on the mouse hand is a familiar cat trait
Oh and going for the mouse hand is an amateur move, this is how the professionals do it
Our Fin (loves to absorb my body warmth as soon as I vacate the sofa) 
Found him on the cul de sac Sept 2022; no idea where he appeared from; we did a lot of asking around to see if anyone had lost a kitten. Nothing no one came back to us; so he's been with us since
This is him & our Oscar who we've had since Sept 2008
He's a grumpy sod generally; more so with the wife
He's fine with me; but she's a static magnet and he gets his ears fried regularly haha

My wife and I wanted to go for a long walk yesterday, but Gizmo had other ideas, and followed us around.
Every time we walked past a way back home (there's several routes we can take), he'd run up that path, and then look at us as if to say "why aren't you going home?"
One of my old cats (the lovely Mia) used to walk the 300m to our village pub with me, then wait outside, getting strokes from the smokers outside, then toddling back with me.Every time we walked past a way back home (there's several routes we can take), he'd run up that path, and then look at us as if to say "why aren't you going home?"
Don’t get her wrong, she wasn’t soft, absolute badass rabbiter.

In the dog house ( or woodys castle ) today after he went into
Fiull lion attack mode at bil last night , even my intervention didn’t work , woody was having none of it & carried on his attack on the bil ( 6ft + , 18 st ) & even he was taking a backward step .
So little lad had decided I’ll stay out the way until they forget 😂😂( wife gave him a big cuddle last night & said nasty men about bil & me ) , can’t do a thing wrong with wife he can’t .
So Enzo was missing for breakfast and dinner today, and has been out the house for about 18 hours. We couldn't find him anywhere. We have had a whole day of walking the local roads and fields, checking under hedges, knocking on doors but he had, simply, disappeared.
At 7.30 tonight, he sauntered in through the cat flap without a care in the world, completely unaware of the emotional rollercoaster he had caused. Mrs P and me are in bits, I don't think we've ever been so relieved.
He's now in his favourite chair, receiving a whole body lick wash from his brother. Cats eh.
