Before I forget. Poor Miffcat was taken ill in my absence and has spent a couple of days in retreat himself, at the vets. He's safely back home now, but as a shadow of his former self, with acute, if not chronic renal failure. Poor little scrap. Tisn't easy nursing a poorly cat - especially with Miffdog around - whose idea of fun is to bounce on top of his furry friend. Who now is too weak to escape jump up out of harm's way. We've an appointment at the vets on Wednesday - although I'm not holding out any great hopes for the prognosis. We knew it would come sooner or later I suppose. And he has had a good run for his money since the original diagnosis it must be 16 months back.

Trying to see the funnier side - Mr Miff and I were talking earlier, and he said that he'd hesitated at first to contact me on retreat - but ended up texting me, as he really thought that we were going to lose Miffcat last week. Well, I said, perhaps I could have asked to have him put on the convent prayer list. Though I'm not sure about the theological correctness of mentioning someone called Mephistopheles in one's intercessions.
