Changing of the guard

Our new kitten - Olympia

Last Saturday we unexpectedly took on a kitten from our daughter's riding stable, as the mother was killed by a car. She's about 6 weeks old and has captivated us in the days since she came here - a beautiful character.



Named in commemoration of our manic following of
a certain recent sporting event

We inherited our old cat from the previous owners 5 years ago, and believe she's now over 20 years old. She's been getting thinner, more deaf, and less able, but has still had a terrific appetite and only stopped mousing a few months ago.

I made a first appointment for the vet to check her over tomorrow (Friday) but strangely she just went poorly last night and then died this morning. How strange that in the a week after we took on a new kitten she finally succumbed to age.
