He turned up about 10 years ago as a tatty old stray of indeterminate age so, sadly, uninsurable !!

He was a bit lethargic after his little seizure yesterday but pretty good last night and again this morning. Trouble is, it only takes another episode to knock him back and leave him zonked for the rest of the day. Hopefully the cocktail of drugs will start to work their magic. The antibiotics and steroids seem to be sorting his ears which, in turn should help the fits. The phenobarbitone might take a couple of weeks to have any real effect though.

All sounding good so far for the poor little chap.

Fingers crossed it all works out and he's soon out and about :thumbup:

Talking of cats we did our good deed earlier this week, a father and teenage daughter came round at the weekend with a flyer showing a picture of her missing kitten and contact numbers to ring if he turned up, fat chance I thought.
However on Tuesday this little black and white kitten appeared in our garden but despite my best efforts it could not be enticed inside, so I rang them and the mother came round and miraculously caught him.
Happy ending after all; until he runs off again!!!

My retreat took me to Oxford today. Didn't notice you though.

Has Mrs C let the refugees banging on the door out of the garage yet?
