h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Oedipus woke me at 5.30am I let him out and went back to bed.
6am he knocked over the baskets in my room spilling the contents and then sat on my head until I gave in and got up to feed him
Then he went back to bed. He has been very frail of late and I will be surprised if he makes it until christmas but we have tried to make things as comfortable as possible for him...I even made him catty steps up to my bed as it's a struggle for him to jump with a pile of baskets.Yes the same ones he knocked down to get me up
So here I am two coffees , one shower and one croissant later ...sigh
Baggins is about....because I put some scraps out for the birds and they are tweeting away and fighting on the lawn for them. Baggins is sitting in the sun watching them from the terrace. He knows he'll be in trouble if he catches them but can't resist stalking them.
We have a large frog in the garden...luckily, he hasn't spotted that yet...Baggins likes frogs..sigh...he bounces after them and has a tendency to accidentally squash them in the process and then can't understand why they don't move anymore.
Things have been quite difficult lately so I've not been around...I know misery likes company but I felt I couldn't even share it with you guys..things were just too awful on all fronts. Anyway I am fighting back now...so watch out world
to all on this lovely Sunday morning, Hope everyone is well and happy ...I am enjoying the sun whilst it lasts...forecast rain later...again

for you too. Not nice to see our friends going downhill but good to see you back

Your 2 probably made you feel more than my 2 Got woken up at 6.00 by a storm here

thank you for cat story...from sunny the netherlands..

I thought my Annie would have to put sleep for a while last year, but she made an astonishing if long and slow recovery. She's doing well for 18 years. Hope your Oedipus brightens up.

Thanks everyone. Oedipus is not eating as well as he does usually and yesterday I thought he'd had a stroke but he seems a bit brighter this morning and came for his breakfast. He is 18 and I've resigned myself to the fact he won't live for ever but It will be hard to lose him.He's been a good old cat

I did answer this earlier but my posting has disappeared (or not appeared) maybe I typed it then forgot to post or closed the window before it sent. Same thing happened with my Hull meet journal this morning. There's no smiley for paranoia is there?

Tabs

Hi Tabs, it's like having family ill isn't it. Just awful. My Kitty will be 20 in sept. she's started with rheumatics in her back legs this last 12 months or so, otherwise reasonably fit but does sleep a lot more now as well. The Loopy cat will be 13 end of July, he's just plain nuts!!

Give the 's a from me. You take care.
