I am so sorry to hear this @gennepher Popeye was such a lucky cat to have had you in his life and that's probably why he lived so long with all the love and excellent care you gave to him - take care and look after yourself - sending you a virtual hug xxFbg 6.5
Cat Popeye has died in my arms at home. I am upset, but he had a long healthy life. It was just since Covid began when there were difficulties accessing a vet for a feral cat attack that he began to go downhill, although he made many comebacks.
Here is a celebration of his life.

Thank you so very much @Mrs T 123I am so sorry to hear this @gennepher Popeye was such a lucky cat to have had you in his life and that's probably why he lived so long with all the love and excellent care you gave to him - take care and look after yourself - sending you a virtual hug xx
@gennepher Popeye was such a special cst. Lovely photos of him.Fbg 6.4
I was expecting parcels yesterday (no delivery time), a bit difficult when you have no incoming sound. I do have a flashing doorbell, but everyone knocks which I cannot hear (despite note on door to ring doorbell). But I just happened to walk in the kitchen (to make a cuppa) as delivery man was knocking on the window. He was a chatty fellow, talking at the rate of knots, so that was me lost what he was talking about (no chance of lipreading an unexpected conversation), so I go back to the grinning, smiling, nodding deaf idiot I am. He finally gives me the parcels.
Thanks for all your words on Popeye yesterday. I appreciate them. Today's creative is another collage of Popeye. He was a very special cat with a heart shaped black nose.
I am looking through all the artwork I did of him over the years (you have seen me as I did some earlier this year), and I guess that will be my creative for tomorrow. It gives me time to get my creative mojo back. Which I am hoping will start Monday/Tuesday.
Now back to a day of blessed silence from AH neighbour, I just hope he doesn't drop too many heavy things on his concrete. Without sound, I am getting very sensitive to all vibrations (however slight) and other external clues again. I am going back to the awareness clues I have had the last 60 years, pre cochlear implant. And I can still be aware of him, but at least it is not the continuous screeching, drilling, grinding machinery of this last week that the cochlear sound processor picked up. I cannot pick that up without sound. A part of me thinks sound is vastly over rated, I managed without it for 60 years.
I had a thought yesterday, is it possible my brain has had enough of sound and has shut down that part of my brain/neural pathways?

Hugs for you and Errant @SlimLizzy24.10
No FBG
Errant choked on his dinner last night and barely ate anything this morning.
Doing eardrops and forcing pills down him feels like cruelty.
His ears are hot so I suspect he is running a temperature again despite the antibiotics.
I can't concentrate on altering curtains.
Glad you had a good reunion @dunelmGood morning everyone from dismal and chilly start here in the dark and dangerous north
The wonder wheel of staying out late came in 4.5 this am
Regimentals reunion last night. Mrs Miggins (organiser of said event) thinks that 180 actually turned up. Very informal affair and smashing to see friends and colleagues - some that we have not seen in over 20 years. Managed to get home before the 2am curfew gong sounded.
Art bit - a branch - Have a great day, I need koffy

Fine looking branch sir. Is that a deep comment on something in the family tree being slightly prickly or maybe I just shouldn't seek meaning in art. Staying out late and reuniting with friends and colleagues seems to be good for you. Maybe that 60's band The Intangibles play a huge part in bg control? But we knew that already, didn't we boys and girls.Good morning everyone from dismal and chilly start here in the dark and dangerous north
