Went round and put posters up yesterday about manky!cat, with the plan of doing more this afternoon, but the first lot seem to have worked... apparently he belongs to some people who live in the new estate that was built across the road from me.

Yes, this cat who has been sitting in my back garden quite happily every evening since Wednesday, pretty much all day yesterday and again this morning, couldn't be bothered to walk the quarter mile or so to its actual home. Despite the whole ferrets experience, something was clearly better about being here than there!

Anyway, I've told them about his trip to the vet and am waiting to see if I get paid back or not (though I regard it as a sacrifice to my clearly being a soft touch if not). BTW, in case anyone was wondering, his name is actually Murdoch. ;)

Did they have any explanation or reason for him looking the way he does?

Apparently he's 16 and they lost his mum to cancer about 18 months ago, so they admitted they'd been putting off taking him to the vets because they didn't want to know the worst about him as well. Which I can kind of understand.

Anyway, I told them how he seemed to be kind of gulping his food (because of the mouth thing and that they ought to get him to the vets again soon...

Ah, that's sad. Sometimes when you're so close to an animal you don't really see how bad they are. My moms pony is 34 this year and really, really on her last legs, but my mom seems to be oblivious to the reality of the situation. I was pretty blunt about it, but got a very rose coloured glasses response, so I guess my moms not ready to let her go just yet and I can't blame her.

Hmm, one wonders why they hadn't already wandered by your place looking for him, if they're that close!
