The love of LooLoo

I have been ill of late. Knackered would be a good description.

Joints have played up, as per usual.

I couldn't get out of bed. Bones too heavy to move. It is not nice and very irritating... not being able to get up or even get to the loo on time!!

I have read up on my condition and it does not make for happy reading. I have to see the quack...quickly and perhaps sort out a will.....

Anyway....there was I.....sat on dining chair at the side of the bath..trying to get bones warmed up. Legs in hot water. You see..no way could I manouvre bod into the bath and out again!!! lol So next best thing is to dangle feet into water and hope ankle joints come back to life.

So, LooLoo jumps up on my knee. She is the most delicate looking of the mogs. A slight little soul. She demands beings petted....stroked. So, I do, even though my hand was twice the size as usual. Ten mins later I am fed up..worn out. Nope...Miss L demands more....so I stroke her more and more. This goes on for AGES. See...Miss L knows that I need to exercise the old joints so what could be better that stroking her? lol

The other cats have a knowing look, too. Been keeping my body warm, as I have been bed bound. I honestly felt like my bones were made of ice and bones were about to break. They would not leave me. Maybe they felt bad, too? They certainly 'talked' to me...especially Muppet of all mogs!! She's been tucked up near me all the while, which is unusually brave of her:o)) xx Even the dog has been clingy.

So, today I feel better and the mogs and dog are being spoiled rotten. Tuna is on sale at the local shop. 2 tins for a quid! Woo hoo!!

Next door neighbour is fighting the big C. Fought it 5 times and won. It's back....no 6. I pray neighbour will see this round off, too. Could not meet a nicer person. Life is not fair sometimes, is it?

Anyway...Thank you, my babies for looking out for me:o)) xx

Today, two days later the swelling is down to near normal.

THE MOGS

Bart-Ginger and white boy. Big lad, little meow:o) Snoozing partner of Tinks. Very cuddly. Always looks scruffy. Olive's first born:o)
Henry VIII- Black and white. A cute, active fellow who loves Cilla. One half of the Chuckle Brothers. Eighth kitten in the house, hence the 'title'. lol Olive's no 4, after Meg's 4.
Honey Pot- Black, big round eyes. Well trained by Junior. Besotted with one another. She is Megan's daughter and quite titchy.
Jimmy - Tuxedo and getting on a big. Bit large around the waistline. He is Mother's cat but he has to live with us. Lives a life of luxury, thanks to Mother. Likes tuna and sleep:o) Very quiet gentleman who is no trouble at all:o) Junior's charge.
LooLoo- Black fluffy. Expert at balancing on dining chairs or anything beam like. A delicate little soul.. She is my pick from Olive's first litter (but we kept them all..how could we choose?) She has the tiniest of miaows but is steely in determination when it comes to fussing her. She won't let you stop with the fussing and stroking until she says so!! Olive's second born.
Megan- Grumpy of late. Entitled to it. One of the matriarchs. Junior's No 1 cat. She came to us via my brother, who rescued her, together with Popeye and Olive when they were 6 weeks old.
Muppet- Feral and elderly. Still gives us a run for our money!! She just HATES being inside.
Olive- Sweet, tri coloured, fluffy. She lets me sleep in my own bed! A dedicated mum. A bit potty and her waistline seems to be expanding to Garfield proportions, even though she runs around alot. Had her from a 6 week old. She was attacked by a dog when she was 12 weeks old and had to have her jaw and palate wired up. Thought we were going to lose her, but she's a brave little thing. There's just something special about her. She's my favourite because of what she's gone through. A bit naughty, though. She takes great delight in tormenting Spooky and Muppet, who just don't want to play!!
Popeye-Daddyo:o) Sweet natured and loyal. Black shiny coat. Very strong...he can headbut a heavy dog crate to escape outside!! I often wake up to find him snoozing beside me. All protective:o) He came here at 6 weeks of age and now is a handsome lad.
Ringo- Talkative Felix lookalike. Sweet. Likes his own bed and is the other half of the Chuckle Brothers. He has an almost Siamese miaow. Has soulful, beautiful eyes. When he decides to give you a cuddle, he plonks himself on you and won't budge!! lol He is Olive's no 5.
Spooky-Muppet's sister. Very talkative and cantankerous! You can hear her up the road!! She likes to pad on your knee.....ow!!!
Tinkabelle-brindle coloured. Sweet, slender and trills for England! Snoozing partner of Bart. She is absolutely hyper!! Loves looking out of the window. She, Bart and Olive are the fly catchers and can often be heard jumping up against the garden room windows in attempts to catch the little creatures...which are, unfortunately, usually on the other side of the glass! lol Olive's No 3.
