Just an update regarding Stanley the cat. As some of you may know, Stanley decided to take on a motorised vehicle, which resulted in a badly fractured pelvis. He spent 2 days at the vets, where he was given powerful painkillers. So, thinking he was better, he proceeded to attack the other sickly cats in the pens either side of him. This led to him being moved to another pen, which he tried to escape from. Therefore, by the time we collected him, he was in solitary confinement. Not bad for the runt of the litter.The long and the short of it is he has to have 6 weeks of 'cage rest'.
On his return home, his brother Olly rushed towards him - and promptly ate all of Stanley's specially medicated food (£12 a kilo). He's not called '2 dinner Olly' for nothing. Since this time, Olly has decided life was better as a single cat and hisses at Stanley every time he strolls past the cage. Such selfless creatures.
So, as our picture shows, Stanley is banged up and not too happy about it. With over £420 of our hard- earned going into the vet's pocket, we're not exactly enamoured ourselves. However, I do feel a children's book coming on...

Olly looks exactly like one of my cats - grandly named Mr Smudge (or Wing Commander Smudge, depending upon the cut of his whiskers) However he is far too important - or is this just lazy - to do anything as inferior as getting in the way of a car. Being banged up would rather suit him, I feel. His sister Betty would fuss over him and bring tasty morsels of food. I sympathise with the vet bills - I cross my fingers everytime they go out of the house, as neither insured.
A book would be great!
Im glad your moggie is on the mend, Rob!
Hope Olly is feeling a lot better now and becomes less adventurous.
