Words fail me re the cats, how could they leave them 🤬 

You know that’s you acquired two cats 😬

I don't know how they could do it. I could hear one of them crying last night and it broke my heart. I tried to catch her but couldn't get close enough. I think they have gone now 🤞I definitely would not have been able to take them because my two elderly cats would have a fit 😂

Work was nice today. I was in clinics so a 9-5 which I like and I haven't got to go back until Wednesday now 🎉🎉 I am loving two days a week. I keep looking at my shifts on the Calendar and smiling to myself 😀I actually have 7 days off at the end of January without having to use any AL and in March I've got two separate weeks of AL because I had 30 hours to use up .

I came home and bumped into my neighbour from the other side who are a really nice family and he mentioned about my neighbours being evicted. He told me the landlords wife was up today and she was asking him about the cats. She phoned the RSPCA to tell them they had been left behind. I think the neighbours might have come and picked them up now though 🤞she showed him some photos of the inside of the house and he said it's horrific, there's faeces rubbed on the walls in some of the rooms and the house is wrecked. She says it's gong to cost thousands to repair. Luckily they husband is a builder. Sadly they are going to rent it out again so I'm hoping they will be more picky next time 🤞

B is still trooping along. She was a bit unsteady on her feet earlier but when I took her out for a walk I had trouble keeping up with her

I am going to DD2s tomorrow for a roast dinner, she has potatoes and veg she wants to use up and it fits in with her meal plan so I have to go and eat too 😀 I love it when someone else cooks for me

Our 4 legged fiend was initially a bit unsteady with the meds but quickly got over that.  We also used to give her green lipped mussels tablets that helped.

Mmmmm…enjoy the roast dinner 👍

That's so sad about the cats. Perhaps it would have been better for the RSPCA to have them re-homed then go back to those rotten owners. 

And what's with the condition they left the house in!  What is wrong with these people that they have to live like that!😡
On a calmer note, I'm glad to read that B seems to be doing well. That's one animal who does have a caring owner!

Today did not go according to plan 😂I went to DDs for a roast and she was worry that the potatoes weren't ok so I jokingly said that's ok we can got to the pub instead. Her face lit up so we walked to the pub instead only to find out it was a 45 minute wait for food so we ended up going to Sainsburys next door ( she needed shopping anyway) and having food in the cafe 😂😂serves us right for not cooking the roast like we should have done in the first place.

I got home at 6 and one of next doors cats came running over meowing and quite clearly distressed 😢the neighbours on the other side were walking up the path and they said that they had fed him this morning because he was outside their front door meowing but they couldn't take him in because they have a pet budgie and he is a proper hunter so I have taken him in for tonight. I have a very large dog crate so I got that out and made him a bed. I've put food and water in there and some puppy pads in case he needs the toilet. He hasn't eaten or drunk he just had a good wash and went to sleep at 8 and has been asleep ever since. I can't decide whether to let him out in the morning in case they do come back for him tomorrow. I've put a note on the lamp post  near the steps to the house to say he is with me in case they do turn up. I am going  to contact the RSPCA tomorrow to see what they say. I couldn't let him sleep out overnight again because it's freezing out there 😟 I've had to put him in the crate because my cats will fight with him if they can. I really could do without this at the moment. I've got B who today keeps falling over and wetting herself and one of my cats has stage three kidney failure so is palliative care at the moment. He's holding his own and seems happy enough but he needs keeping an eye on and I don't want him to be stressed out with another cat in the house. 
Flaming irresponsible owners do my head in 😡

Oh that's awful. I'm glad you were able to catch him and get him indoors, but I think contacting the RSPCA is the right thing to do. Or maybe the Cat's Protection League?

Poor, poor cats. People like that shouldn't be allowed to have pets!😡

Sun_Addict

Poor cats 😿 So angry about these despicable people 🤬 Thank goodness they have someone like you to protect them but you don’t need the extra stress right now.

I help out with a pets lost and found group. We are being notified weekly by people whose neighbours have gone but left their pets behind. It’s heartbreaking,  especially when you see the state of some of these animals. All rescue centres and fosters are full, but they still go above and beyond to help us deal with these abandoned pets.xx
