Okay, despite her good looks getting a decent photograph of Connie right now is proving most difficult. She does not want to be paraded around for a bunch of hippies on a festival website, she's far too pretty for that!

This is the best shot I could get before she got really mad with me:

Here is a photo of her I took a good few years ago, when she wasn't looking:

Cleo is off galavanting at the moment, searching for men. But here she is with Connie on a photo I took a while ago:

This is my cat Suzie. I wanted to call her Optimus but i was overruled.

Is Suzie smoking a big cat styled spliff?

This is my brute. Kramer.

Just found out my cat has got kidney failure

The vet has said it can't be cured but it can be treated. I'm picking her up in half an hour so will know exactly what that means then.

[Katster]

Aye, very much so

[scaryclaireyfairy]

hopefully she'll be ok for a good long time on meds.

If my parents can afford to provide her with those meds, I'm hopeful she will be.

Reading up on it there's lots of mentions of tablets and drips and injections. I'm seeing lots of pound notes.

[scaryclaireyfairy]

aye, a vet degree can be a licence to print money sometimes.

It's a business at the end of the day. My parents could have got insurance for her, they decided not to.

[rollergirl]

Awwww hope she's ok Katster

I might buy a couple of Guinea Pigs now that the Hamster is dead

Please don't put hats and glasses on them if you do...

My cat: Well, it's not all bad news. She should have 10 (units?) of urea in her blood but currently has 24. They need a urine sample in order to test how much urea she has in her urine, in order to tell exactly how progressed the kidney failure is.

If it's treatable it will mean her having to have a special diet and a tablet once a day. If this stresses her out then we may feel it's better not to treat her, and allow her to live as normal until things start to get really bad.

The good news is she's not in pain and has come home and eaten a big meal so her appitite isn't faltering as yet

Here's afew pics of my cat Suki, they were taken about 6 months ago when she was just a kitten. She much bigger now but still a total menace!

shes a silver bengal. I got her from a couple who live in the snowdonia national park where she lets them more or less run free. Think this is why she's always sitting on top of the wardrobe or the kitchen cabinets. She also enjoys nothing more than a good scrap which is where the half african leapard cat come out in her!

[Katster]

Suki is lovely.

Connie is doing ok, she's taken to the special 'kidney kind' cat food and so far has taken her tablets ok.

[Katster]

Connie is no longer doing ok

She isn't responding as well as was to be expected to the tablets and special food, and now has to have further tests to find out if there's something else wrong with her. The poor thing stinks of wee

She's in good spirits though and I bought her a new bed yesterday which she evidently likes:

The house was too quiet since we lost Harry in July so we have adopted a dog from the local canine rescue.

Her name is Bella and she's a staffie/collie cross. We'll be bringing her to preseason/birthday camp with us next month so you can meet her then

(thanks to Wullie for fixing it after I told him how to do it wrong)

A couple of years ago I had a clown fish and a sea anenmenenone. They died
