Been away
So I've been away for a few weeks, visiting family in the UK as my Dad's
been very ill. I left here pretty suddenly, got a phone call at 6:30am, was lucky to be able to get the cats into a good boarding place, and was on the plane by 6:30pm. Thankfully Dad's out of hospital now although things aren't looking too good long term. The cats seem to have forgiven me now. Trixie was more affectionate than usual when I got them home. Floki the kitten is now a big cat. He didn't recognise me at first and hid, but after a couple of hours he seemed to remember that he did know me, and jumped on my lap for cuddles. The two of them are getting along better now and will often both sit on my lap together. |

The change in Floki's size must have been a bit surprising! I imagine it's a bit like not seeing a person for years and the next time you do they've got grey hair. Jill |

Of course we know they're going to grow up but he had a heck of a growth spurt in the few weeks I was gone. His head hasn't quite caught up with the rest of him yet, he can look a little comical with big feet, body, tail and ears and still a tiny head. I don't know his exact age but he must be approaching a year old now. He's quite agile and now able to jump up on my desk. That's no big thing for most cats but for a long time it looked like long-term effects of the snake bite might prevent him being able to jump properly. So, good news all round really, |
