Well, first off SWMBO had to get the cat to the vets for an operation at 8am. This involved removing her food last night and water at 06:00... Nearly broke our hearts

Then we get a call a little after 10am, the pre-anaesthetic blood tests reveal signs of Kidney Failure Best suggestion was to put her on IV fluids for 12-24 hours to see if it improves, then do the op tomorrow. Bill now goes from £170ish to about £300 They started talking about "Increased risk" for the anaesthetic so we popped in to see her (just in case) and the sight near on broke our hearts She's got a pretty pink bandage on her front leg to keep the IV in and is looking confused. She's 14-15 years old and the vets always question it as she looks so fit and healthy, but a real part of the family and the house feels completely empty without her We've never spent the night in the house without her (in 7 years) and she's not stayed away from the house overnight in that time either

Then we get onto the other problem... The oven packed in last night so we trekked off to our local Bennetts Electrical and started looking. Ended up with a new oven and a new induction hob as her old halogen one was cracked. A mere £720 Was a pretty good deal though as the hob was meant to be £550 and the oven £350, plus we've got it on an interest free, pay nothing for a year deal Had to have the display ones to take them away today but I don't mind that when we can do a decent deal

Get home and rip the old ones out, which was a doddle, then offer in the new hob... Ar$e... The hole was about 1.5mm too small Anyway... All fitted and working now But my back's giving me some grief!

  hows the cat it not nice when there ill keep your chinup

[PhilRich]

Sorry to hear of your woes Paul, especially your beloved pet Our dogs are as much loved as our kids & it's always 'nails bitten to elbows' when they are ill! On the other issue, our range oven works but swmbo has threatened to launch it through the kitchen window more times than it's turned out a perfect cake!
I hope your  dear cat is 'feline' better soon

[Lazydocker]

Yep, so hard when you can't do anything to help the little animals we treat as family SWMBO took a picture so I'll try and dig it out

Of course, to add insult to injury, when I needed to trim the hole in the worktop I couldn't find any of the tools I wanted Ended up using an angle grinder, screwdriver, chainsaw file and some other random items Went in though and a happy(ish) Mrs LD is in the kitchen cooking dinner

but hope your cat gets better and the hob stays put

Christ,I saw chainsaw before I saw "file "written after it and thought that was a bit extreme

Hope you cat pulls through ok,broke our hearts when we lost ours a year or so ago,got a kitten now though so all is good

Not convinced we'll get great news either

But finger's crossed

Don't give a stuff about the cooker, but know Mrs LD will be in a mess if the moggy doesn't perk up 


Actually, I lied about the cooker, does she need someone to test that the cakes are up to scratch?

[Gaffers]

Fingers crossed for you and cakey 

I wish I could send over my Monty Python collection to help cheer you up.  It's picking me up out my doldrums

So will I if the truth be told

She's already a mess and the likely outcome is that the moggy will come home and be fine until the Kidneys fail completely

As for the cakes... Not sure, but dinner was ready in record time

[TheBoy]

Soft sod

I hope your cat gets better after operation.. 
 
cats dont have 9 lifes as people say, even not half in some cases I witnessed
 
if you need give me a call , I have more than 20 here

[TheBoy]

cats dont have 9 lifes as people say, even not half in some cases I witnessed

I think my stupid moggie has had about 90 lives, stupid bloody thing. But, then again, my stupid moggie hasn't got all its dogs on one lead, if that translates to Turkish...

best wishes for the full and speedy recovery of your feline overlord.....
