Oh what a rotten week for you. I’m hoping your back is lots better now…..sounds really painful.
As for Mustard……he doesn’t know when he’s onto a good thing. Don’t feel bad about it. It’s a cats nature to wander…..he’ll be back when he’s ready. Bet you’re missing him.
Sending lots positive vibes to you.January spends - £587.584 -
