    About the cats, can you ask yourself, what's the worst that could happen? I mean, if you went either way. What would it have been like today, feeling groggy and a bit unwell, if you had another two cats to look after, could you have coped?

    Can always cope with cats :D

    The worst is if they gang up on my boy & make him last months/years uphappy.

    Oh Beanie, I can understand you being so torn about the rescue cats, but remembering how difficult it can be, I think that I would not be able to risk Best Boy's remaining time with you being made unhappy.

    OH, the hairy canine and I spent a fantastic 3+ weeks touring the south west of your beautiful country, saw so many lovely places and interesting things, now trying to get to grips with all the washing and tame the jungle that my flower beds have become. Your good weather vibes worked pretty well, very little rain, cold at first, but took warm clothes, then lovely warm sunshine for the last 10 days - many thanks:D

    Really great news about the CC - go you Beanie! Can't help with the cat decision but I do feel it will be a lot for your current cat. Tough decision.
