thhhh-orry, my bad
I have adopted a 17 year old cat* called Lucy, and by adopted my mother said "either you take her or she gets the needle". Damn passive-aggressive reasoning.


*insert teen pussy joke here

My bad? Uurrgh.
I'm sorry but I'm going to have to send people round to hang you up by your toenails and pour golden syrup into your nostrils.

Then who's going to look after Lucy?
Huh?

Doctor Death and his Needle of Doom, that's who!

When I got together with my partner we had four cats and two rabbits between us.
Whilst my partner was fine taking them to the vets for injections, when "the time" came and it looked like the end I had take them.
After the first two had gone, the sight of me getting the pet carrier out of the garage was enough to make the others jump up and attempt to be look as sprightly as possible.

Animal know don't they
11 years ago I had to put my beloved childhood cat down. She hadn't moved for days and I asked the vet to come to the house to put her down. He walked through the door and my cat ran for it down the garden path. She lived another week.

She's a very sweet tabby
but yes, 17! Mum had warned me that she might be 12 or 13, but we found some records that stated she was 6 weeks old in June 1993.

We tried to get her into a cat shelter but they are full to bursting.

where did she come from
into your life?

you need to keep me updated with charlie's reaction to you booting her into the garden and sharing your house with an older woman.

Loooooong story
Friend of the family runs a cattery and has gone into hospital (and probably wont come out again), Lucy has been in the cattery for over a year because her elderly owner is senile. Cattery has shut, all cats have gone home.

Long story short; she doesn't belong to anybody and nobody wants her.

awww poor lucy
but the moral of that story does seem to be that this cat is not good for her owners' health. be careful, you!

i can sympathise with the last sentence. i know exactly how she feels, old and rejected and with her fur falling out...

make sure you
keep her on the ground floor. then you'll only fall into the chicken run!

That's another problem...Charlie
Hopefully Lucy will stay an inside-cat, and i'll have to do my best to stop Charlie from darting into my kitchen.

When did it all get so bloody complicated?

A mad chicken and a geriatric cat. What next, a retarded goat?
