    Huge (((hugs))) Natty. I still miss Darling D, and she went in 2006. (I'm just so glad I had her around me for as long as I did; it makes me a very lucky person.) You did everything anyone possibly could to give Amycat the best life she could have had, and letting her go was brave, selfless, compassionate and loving. I hope the kittens make you laugh a lot over the next few days while you get over the shock.
    Better is good enough.

    Hugs Natty - My old lady is 16 now; the Vallikids refer to her as thei sister - they cannot remember not having her - they are a huge part of our lives and I hope the kittens bring back some happy memories of Amycat's life with you x

    (((Hugs))) to Natty. The kittens will never replace Amycat, but our hearts are always big enough to love more people and more pets.

    DGDs came and played football on the lawn - with squeals of glee as they watched 6 horses passing our back gate.
    DGD1 topped up the mealworms.
    I have potted up the plug plants and ended up with 73 of them :D
    Off out now with DH to visit a small local nursery which is open this weekend... hopefully to get even more plants at bargain prices :cool:

    Plumber still here. Glad I have such a huge pile of old towels!

    me too, I'd come for tea, dreams of Mr Pickwick's potatoes with cottage cheese from a market square not too far from you ;)

    Insurance quote sorted, with cash back I can get it for 1/2 of what I paid last year! :D
    Shopping ordered with free del code
    will go off and do HHI...
