Teddy - had to have him PTS on 6th April last year, heart condition - it was absolutely awful.....my big gentle giant gone :(

And my new boy, Joey - took him in at the age of 2 when Teddy died...

So still 4 cats and a dog.

Zara is pretty wobbly on he back legs but since we moved to a ground floor flat 2 years ago - much easier for her.

Cats are in cats heaven with a lot of trees behind a back fence and a cat flap.

Wish Teddy could enjoy garden and freedom for longer - I so miss that boy..

    They are all gorgeous, and so sorry about your lovely Teddy. He looks like he was at least part BSH - and, sadly, this breed can be prone to feline hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

    We lost our lovely blue lady to a heart attack at just 13 years old - but our current furry madam came from a breeder who tested for this condition, and didn't breed from cats which carried it. Hopefully, we'll continue to enjoy her company for many years to come.

    What a lovely gang! :)

    I am sorry that your lovely Teddy had to leave you, I know that heartbreak all too well.
    It's not difficult!

    Lovely to see you again,

    sorry for your loss,

    I lost one of my cats a week ago, the dreaded cardio myopathy,
    he was hyperthyroid but this came from nowhere so was a shock.

    Zara looks fantastic as do all the kittys,

    again , great to see you back,

    Charlie.
