Sorry I've not been around

[esmecullen]

Oh what a past few days...........first the internet went down .............only got it sorted then when cleaning on Sat I re-arranged the stones on the flame effect on the electric fire, all was fine and around 6.45p.m when the whole lot cascaded to the floor, startled Ripper the cat who was snoozing on the sofa. He jumped and went running into the bedroom, he came back out 30mins later, limping badly. Had to call the vet for advice, vet called back and said to bring him in to the surgery, a home visit would be over £200.............so asked one of my neighbours to drive me to the vet, didnt get back till 11p.m. Vet believed nothing was broken, he may have had a strain or a pulled muscle. Cat now on pain relief and ensconced on the sofa..............have to call vet tomorrow with an update and if its no better by Thursday,to take him in for x-rays

so many apologies for not being about people

Awww Esme - I hope Ripper is ok and that you've had chance to calm down a bit. They say things come in threes but somehow you always to have them three at a time!

(((Esme))) hope (((Ripper)))) makes a speedy recovery & that it is just a strain

Pleased you're back, but sorry you've had a grotty few days. Hope Ripper recovers quickly & it is indeed just a strain. Now, Mrs, don't touch that fire!

Best wishes for Ripper Esme.
I hope everything has now returned to normal with no more upsets! I did think of you not being around at the weekend. Thought you might have been out and about enjoying yourself. Sadly, you weren't
Xxx

Awww, no, poor Ripper! (Great kitty name btw ) Cats always get themselves into scrapes somehow, don't they? Then they resist going to the vets, make a show of themselves and you whilst they're there, then settle back in at home like nothing ever happened once they're better! All the while costing you a fortune Wouldn't have it any other way though

Hope things (and Ripper) calm down a bit now!

Best wishes for a speedy recovery to Ripper and hope that's the last of your mishaps for a long..long time esme

Sorry to hear about your mishap Esme and I hope the vet doesn't leave any stone unturned during ripper's diagnosis and that Ripper makes a speedy recovery and is able to have a catnap in peace once again on the sofa.

Lol chris........ I know its all my fault

Blakey........I dont do things by halves lol.......when it happens, it really happens

Update on Ripper...........he's still limping..........but I'm sure that the little furball is pulling a fast one, he can walk about albeit with a limp but if I look when he's hobbling he sits down and looks all pathetic at me as if to say "mum I need picking up to get to litter tray/food/comfy sofa/for cuddles, etc"

Hopefully he will be pinging about/having mad half hours soon and he sends his thank you meows to you all
