You can never have enough...

[Oh_hunnihunni]

Gallstones pain is not nice - true, but imo, my bones cause me more distress, primarily because I can manage the gallstones with hot water bottles and patience, but the bones just never stop reminding me they are damaged. Both cause me immense frustration, but the gallstones usually run 12 hours or so,  arthritis is like rust, it never stops.

But, onto more enjoyable things, the Pud! She is a stolid little creature, but has her ways. She is happy to venture out onto the front doormat, or the back deck where she feels safe, and from there survey goings on. She has been spotted further afield by my neighbours so she is definitely exploring and so far there have been no ructions with the other two village cats, so fingers crossed they have agreed to peaceful relations. She isn't a bossy creature like CoCo was, or as needy, and she is a lot more playful, adopting bits and pieces as her toys to be bashed around, chased, caught and destroyed when the whim takes her.

She is a little shy, and still dives for her safe place under the bed when she feels uncomfortable, but overall I think she has settled in rather well. Certainly well enough for me to be happy for her to be left alone should I get another surgery date this year. CoCo would have been an issue, but this one is a different beast, I think she will cope admirably.

Right cat, right household...
