Awake and up all night

Nyx will be fine sarah. So sorry to hear you had to go through all that. It must have been terrible for you both  we trust hospitals to do everything right for us. They were lucky you survived. 

We used this cattery about 12 years ago for our little kitty at the time. A beautiful place out in the country with really good facilities and a lovely owner. We had a little black rescue cat then-called Button-and the owner would message us updates with photos while we were away telling us she was fine, which she was. 

We got sent the invoice last week to settle up just before our holiday and noticed we’d been charged wrong by £52 in our favour. Told the owner straight away and she was so grateful we’d pointed it out-I suppose some people wouldn’t have, but that’s not us. Honesty’s the best policy! It’s still cheaper than a taxi to East Mids, but we’re getting a lift to the airport from the stepson-he’s a good lad.

Aw brilliant, so you know Nyx will be in good hands. Yes, I remember now that my lass was also sent photos of her cat several times. It'll put your minds at ease to be able to see Nyx while you're away.

Well done for your honesty and I agree it's the best policy - it gives  feel good vibes both ways xxx

I know you wouldn't want to leave nyx at home on her own but you can get great cat food dispensers with ice packs. If you have a neighbour, or relative, they could always look in on Nyx. Pippin, I suspect has become a seven dinners Sid and quite likes visiting the neighbours. We're lucky that my eldest only lives 20 mins away.

We left her at home last time, with my stepson coming in on the way to work and back home to feed her and change her litter tray. But I worry about her having no company for such a huge part of the day and no-one to cuddle up with. At least there will be company for her in the cattery and a lovely view of a pond and the countryside and her heated room with toys and separate areas to go in.

Morning Uki ️ 

Yes, my lass uses a cat food dispenser for hers when they go off for a couple of days. They've also got a water fountain so kitty's got constant water and the catflap's microchipped so no invaders can get in their house. Who said cat care was easy?

How are OH and yourself today hon? I know you've got scanxiety but try to focus on other things - Pippin should help xxx

Funny Gill. I just checked in with my eldest. She's the sweetest girl and a big support. She said she was feeling anxious. I am feeling anxious but to be honest I have a bit big background anxiety these days anyway. Any ideas Gill how to fight off Scanxiety? Also got to put up with our consultant Les Dawson.

You are right. Pippin is a great support. He never changes from one day to the next.

I know it's as likely to be good news as bad, but I'm just worried about how I'll hold it together if it's not.

You will hold it together Uki, as that's what we do for our OH's - I think they look to us to be their props in times of stress. I've always been a hard faced customer anyway, so keeping my feelings in check comes easy - it's only when we get home my flood gates open. So really, my advice is worse than useless. 

I did laugh at you calling your consultant Les Dawson - that in itself would crack me up as I've no control when I find something funny! You'll be fine lovey xxx
