Thank you LB, Joyce and Hazel. Its OHs birthday tomorrow, so a very happy day for him. Still a long way to go, but every clear check is great. He doesn't know it but the boys have taken a day off work and we will all be together for the day. Last year he was in hospital having his treatment.
Great news for you and your OH Lily. I hope you can relax a little now.
MU - I'd be as upset as you to see a cat hit by a car and then be unable to find it. Hopefully she's just stunned but, even so, she'd like a bit of love and reassurance and a warm place to gather herself. I hate people who insist on keeping animals but then don't give them the time, care and attention they deserve and need.
Right - cards now. If I can do 20 it's a good start...

I think all the pet owners on here will be hoping Stumpy Sal has just received a glancing blow and is curling up somewhere in her own territory. If I was the owner I would be beside myself with concern. Lets hope that the owner actually does look everywhere for her. I too dread the thought of a little creature suffering.

Lily that is so good to know . You both will sleep better tonight . Sorry to hear of the little pus cats accident MU . I echo your feelings. When I hear of such horrible accidents, I am so pleased that I have an enclosed cat run .I would be frantic if one of my cats was hurt .
I agree with you M-U and I would have no hesitation reporting ill treatment of any animal to the respective authorities - RSPCA down here. This time of year when we get subjected to Charity appeals for donkeys, dogs and cats etc. I find watching TV unbearable at times.

I can understand your anger M-U. As T'Bird implied, if you take on any sort of a pet they rely on you to look after them. Their demands aren't many but the love and joy that they can bring to you is immeasurable. There are many times when I too prefer animals to human beings.

I suppose there must be some - but I’ve never met an animal who was aggressive or nasty without reason - usually because they’re frightened, hurt or previously traumatised by their interaction with the human race.
However, I have encountered many very unpleasant, unkind, selfish, thoughtless and / or cruel human beings.
Definitely an animal person here.

Phew M-U. That is good news. Personally I would still go ahead and express your concerns regarding the dog to the SSPCA. What is more important? A badly treated animal or an overly sensitive neighbour. That neighbour having already had words with the dog owner shouldn't be afraid of any consequences as they would, in this case, be innocent of reporting the dog owner.

M-U, poor cat. I hope it will be okay. I'm always on the look out for farm cats running across the back road that I take to uncle's.
Its OHs birthday tomorrow, so a very happy day for him.

Hope the Puss cat is ok
