My neighbour returned last night and said she was sure they were looking behind her for me when she arrived! I think they were just looking for food! I’ll miss them though, especially as they’re moving away.

My friend who once house sat and looked after her as I was away for 3 weeks said she knew when I had decided to come home! I was in Italy, re-scheduling a flight to come home 3 days early... And she got all restless, sitting by the door, miaowing! Where is mum? I am sure she is on her way home now... Also my ex told me that she would go sit by the door more or less the moment I started a journey home! So clever...

I am glad Lasya is a long lived breed. She has been with me for 9 years and is still like a kitten, definitely not an older cat. I don't know what I would do without her!

I am seriously not sure if I would have pulled through without her! I had responsibility for this kitten, so I had to get up and feed her, clean her tray etc... She would come and sit on me, gently grooming my hands, when I collapsed on the floor for hours, keeping me conscious... She is the most amazing thing!!!!
Hanneklaas Dec 2021 10:35am, 29 Dec 2021 83,708 posts	0 Hanneklaas This happy, soft, warm purry thing showering you in unconditional love... Possibly why she isn't food driven: she was fed erratically and knew she had to make her kibble last as I would get stuck upstairs for days sometimes. So she never gobbles all available food in one go. Really handy when I am away for a night or two!

He was such a good cat.
