6th March
Driving a large van and an overloaded estate car, The Director, two Camera Boys and myself set off for France in the very early hours of Tuesday morning, it was a long drive and my putting diesel into a petrol-fuelled vehicle didn’t make the trip any faster.
We got to the Lovely House well after midnight and got the kit and computers locked away before we fell in to bed. The cats are still pretty wild so I’d expected them to stay well out of our way for a while. In the morning I heard an awful sound, outside I found Julie pacing around in front of the house howling, Kevin’s body was lying by one of the outbuildings, we think he must’ve got swiped by a car and used his last energy to make a dash for the house.

I'm so sorry. And Julie will have no one to steal her food.
ReplyDeleteOh dear! Poor kitty!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear this as I am a cat person. The last time Ilet my cat out (Thinking i was beging really cool letting the indoor cat because he only has three legs due to some accident pre-me and my daughter dumped him on me) he came home with a huge bit in the but from who knows what. A $125 lesson and seemingly endless days of craming antibiotics down his non cooperating throat. Now i scream everytime he attempts to escape out any open door.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much everyone for all your sympathy. Poor Julie is distraught but won't let us anywhere near, so we're feeling pretty useless to soothe her.
ReplyDeleteLulu - sorry to hear about this. I was looking forward to more tales of their habits. Hope things get better soon.
ReplyDeleteWaaaaah!
ReplyDeletePoor Kevin, poor Julie, poor Lulu.
*hugs*
So Sorry. Is that Julie or Kevin in the picture? What a beauty.
ReplyDeleteHi there and thanks again for the lovely thoughts, KSV - that's Kevin, he used to pretend that Julie's prizes were his, she caught the mice and he protected her from bigger beasts.
ReplyDeletejust saw this, sugar...i am sorry for ya'll's loss. xoxo
