Things That Gladden The Heart

We have taken in a lovely stray tom cat (although our current antisocial little a-hole cat isn't too happy), he's been coming around for a couple of weeks, obviously infested with fleas and all sorts and with facial wounds that looked angry.
Today we decided to do something about it and lured him in to a carry box, got him to the vet. Antibiotics, flea treatment and pain meds later he is now acclimatising to our house (and the a-hole cat) and looks like he will be on the mend soon.
Although he is very thin, he still weighed in at 5.3Kgs and we are feeding him up and giving him a warm and dry home forever.

We had a little stray cat adopt us when we first moved into our current house. Took months to get her to come into the house, preferring to live in a box in the shed. Gave us 15 years of love and joy. We still miss her, but have some great memories that tied in with our daughters younger years.

We reckon he is only 2 or 3 years old so hopefully he has a long and happy life ahead of him.
Such a great nature he has, got him to the vets and she got him on the scales to weigh him, he curled up and fell asleep. Even when she injected him with antibiotics and painkillers he was still zonked.
We have given him the name Dibble, our other cat it called Benni (yep. Top Cat theme) currently digging in ot his 3rd pouch of food this afternoon, vet said just to give him food until he won't eat any more to help him weight gain.

We had a second cat adopt us, who had lived with one of our neighbours. Decided it didn’t want to live with their dog.
Monty was almost identical, all black, to Billie. Lucky to have him for seven years, but sadly lost him two years ago.

We now have a little terror coming round, thinking it can move in. Very cute, but she is not moving in !!!!

I think we are done at the two, if we adopted any more Benni would up sticks. She isn't a cat cat, mind you she isn't a people cat either. Bengals are a bit funny.

Its like cat city round here though, two houses that back on to us share 7 cats between them. Think it's one of those that Dibble has been fighting with, maybe tried to steal their food. He will have his own from now on so won't need to steal.

Definitely sounds like a keeper ! All the best with Dibble. Hope he doesn’t find out he is named after a policeman.:)

Of course she is. Cats are like the Borg...resistance is futile.

Feed and care for a dog and the think you are a God. Feed and care for a cat and they think they are a God.
 
The village butcher sneaking in an extra bit of steak, found when I unwrapped the paper around the meat prior to cooking. He probably took pity on me for my lousy Spanish...
 
10 months of Sky Sports on Now TV for £199 saving me £140 for the term compared with the deal I had with TalkTalk, and now I get the sport in HD. Tidy.
 
Just spent an interesting afternoon with my youngest boy at Battle of Britain Memorial Flight at Coningsby. He's really getting into all things RAF so we had the full tour, learnt a fair bit and now have a couple of models to build and paint with him.
 
Boris is prime minister and will get a no deal brexit, my club have issued a mandate that shorts must be no longer than 11 inches and must be worn with long white socks and to cap it all Christmas is must around the corner and shops are stocking up. Wow it’s great to be alive👏🍾👍
