What a relief.
Queenie´s jaw was easy to mend, and yesterday she started eating again by herself.
She´s still a bit messy, but that will soon be cleaned up. She´s walking, sleeping a lot and overall doing okay.

She was very, very lucky. A few inches more...

Thanks all, for your kind ...

Wow, that was a bit of a shock.
Slave was texted by her best friend (Lou, the one I stayed with for the first eight weeks), and she heard that my Mum, Queenie, was hit by a car.

Never did Queenie go outside, but a few weeks ago during the holidays the house sitter let all the cats out into the ...

Well for us anyway.
Finally we returned. After the first six days away we stayed home for one day, and then left again for two days.
Now it is done: suitcases are unpacked, and I´m doing the washing and he is having a Dutch beer.
I have to say that although the girl next door did a wonderful ...

Aww.... what have I done?
Will he hate me for the rest of his life?
My sweet little lion now looks like a drunken old man...

Last year I bought a real tree: a small one as our apartment is small. I wanted the smell of ...

It is not very high on his list, but in the past few weeks it has become an issue.
A bladder infection, and hence the new regime: wet food.

God, it took him ages (three days) to turn to it, and even now, a week or so on, he still isn`t eating as much as he did.
Tonight I couldn`t bear it any ...

Turbo doesn`t go outside as I think he is too precious/handsome/whatever to do so. (I know: it is *my* fear.)
What if he did, and got run over? Or taken in by some filthy, raucous family?? No way.

Still, it`s hard to keep anybody in our apartment inside all the time. We live in one on the ...

He loves the dinner table.
It`s smooth, spacious, and best of all: higher than the rest of the furniture.
Up there he can oversee everything. Strategically placed he can watch the telly, us, and the entrance to the living room and front door in one go.

There is a tray on the table that ...

I said so -more or less- in my `introduction`: having a site for him is ridiculous, really.
But I love it (him, okay), and the sight of all the other cats makes me smile every time.

We had a male Blue Russian, called Muis (Mouse) years ago and a Mixed Breed girly (called Minet) that was a ...
