    Hope it's a bit warmer with you Dove than it is here. 3 degrees and the miserable wet stuff   image

    It's giving the gravel a good wash though!

    More tea for me....

    Thanks again Dove and everyone for their kind wishes. This thread is wonderfully caring to each other. I really appreciate it. It would help if I could have a good cry, but the most I seem able to do is wipe the odd drip that sneaks out image.  

    Time to look ahead, I think. No good dwelling on sad stuff. Have a good Sunday all.

    By the way Obelixx, I found a jigsaw with two little white kittens and they both had one blue eye and one brown. It looked really unusual. image I thought of Cosmos.

    Wiping drips works for me Pat - if it works for you, that's all you need xxx

    Fairy, have you had any thoughts on that tulip (posted a pic on the tulip thread)?? The leaves were quite exotic, I would love to have that in my little garden.

    My new little kit has heterochromia also - one blue, one green eye. More common in white cats.

    That's interesting Daisy. I hadn't heard of that before.

    Hi Daisy -  I think I replied about it. They're one of the Greigii tulips - which have that distinctive foliage. I don't remember buying them, and certainly didn't get them with the orders I did online,  so it's probably something I've picked up that was wrongly labelled. The most common one is Red Riding Hood. The buds were looking quite yellowy but I noticed yesterday they looked darker so it's probably that. They're easy to get in most GCs etc, and they're easy to grow - tougher than the bigger types. I'll probably plant them in the front garden as they don't suit my colours in the back garden  image

    I think it might affect their vision, although not sure. She is the first cat I have ever had that has problems with the cat flap. She can see from both eyes but I don't think she can focus properly. Deafness is supposed to be more common in white cats too.

    Something I heard recently, is that some people when adopting cats specifically request black cats because they are more difficult to place due to superstition. Who knew? image
