The ongoing rehabilitation of our rescue cats continues.
Lacey was more off colour than usual and her fur was becoming a bit matted. Off to the vets and the diagnosis was teeth problems meaning she couldn't groom herself properly. Eight teeth out later and she's much better. It seems to have made Lester feel better as well as he knows his mum isn't as poorly.
They're now getting into everything a bit more.
Lacey has also decided to take on security details.
If I go outside for a cigarette she sits like that on the doormat looking out the conservatory door. I've had to resort to taking a front door key with me in case I can't get back in.
Anyway, Lester feeling more at home sounds like he says hello as he walks past.

Our hugely-loved member of our family passed away last night, Poppet had been with us for 4 years and appears to have suffered an aortic thromboembolyism (blood clot moves from her heart down to the Y-part of the vein that takes the blood supply to her back legs and gets stuck there).
She collapsed a couple of minutes before I arrived home from work (Mrs and daughter were already home) so we rushed her straight to the vet but there was nothing to be done and she was put to sleep. I think she was pretty much gone just as we pulled up outside the vets. She wasn't breathing but her heart was still going (barely).

I rarely post but had to share a photo of our beautiful Beanie, who we lost today after suffering a stroke yesterday morning, she was almost 13 years old, and almost lost her in 2009 when during a simple tooth extraction, reacted badly to the anaesthetic, and had to be bagged to keep breathing on the operating table, on closer inspection, it was discovered she had been in some kind of accident before we had come to look after her (belonged to friends of ours, and we ended up adopting her as she liked it too much with us!)where her diaphragm had become detached at one end and her stomach and intestines had pushed into her chest cavity crushing her right lung, after a 6 hour op, 3 days in the vets ICU and 3 weeks in the vets we got her back home. She was the soul of the house, and now there is a huge empty hole in our lives. 11 years with us, and she brought so much love and happiness to the family.
