Yeah she's been using the lidded litter tray but without the lid so it's a nice large tray for her

She's asleep now next to my son on their sofa x

AHHHA.

So pleased to read that Bert's starting to recover.

[Annie0710]

Thank you getting_old, yes she's doing really good, a way to go but definitely heading in the right direction at long last x

[Annie0710]

Bert had her stitches out tonight and has been discharged.  She's still not jumping above chair level but is now pain med-free.   So a few more weeks of staying in, and forever if she's too nervous to leave the house again (we'd rather she chose the latter) x

Oh Annie that's fantastic news! I've been thinking about her, it's so lovely to hear she's doing alright xxx 

[CLKD]

Oh well done you!  {{{ BERT }}}

[Annie0710]

THank you

I forgot to say, she'd pulled most of the stitches out herself lol x

[Lanzalover]

Oh Annie0710 that's great news.

How is she this morning?

[Scampi]

Great news that she's doing so well.

On the subject of her going out - my cat was in indoor cat from the age of 5 and she was fine (in fact, when we got the dog I'll swear the cat used to laugh at the dog having to go outside in the cold for toilet!).  My cat was a couple of months off 18 years old when she succumbed to renal failure, so staying indoors for the best part of 13 years did her no harm at all.

We live on a road with 36,000 vehicles across it daily  so 2 of our 3 lived inside all the while.  As long as they had access to clean! litter trays and plenty of toys they were fine.  The other cat would run under the wheels of our car  fortunately we knew so I would hop out and shoo him out of the way.  If I wanted him in at night he would lay under a bush, slightly out of arm's length, purring 

[Annie0710]

This should be idyllic for our pets.  Country lane, 3 houses with huge open fields.  But it's the dog walkers who think their lovely calm dogs are ok off the lead.  I hope she loves staying in so much she won't ever want to go out again but we can't carry on like this forever.  Her son can't get into our home unless we hear him cry.  He has access to the back porch where food and water is but not our home as we're having to keep the back door shut.  It just isn't fair on him short term let alone alone long term

2 firsts for Bert today and I've only been in from work 15 mins.....she jumped on the bath edge hoping I'd run sink tap then following me downstairs and jumped into the worktop, before she's sat near the chair to get us to move it near the sink...so really good progress xx

Could you treat yourselves to a camera that clicks onto your TV when puss approaches the porch?  or as it's almost C.mas, teach him to sing ;-).  Of a child alarm so that you hear him purring as he eats so that you can let him in [clear as mud?]

I don't like cats with collars - there are flaps that react to magnets but I suspect that Boy and his Mum would put heads together and he would hold open the cat flap for her to go out 

[Annie0710]

LOL CLKD !

He came home briefly tonight then cried to go back out.  We think someone is feeding him, they're both beautiful cats with long fluffy fur so wouldn't surprise me if someone's glad he's sharing us.
