It seems that bad news comes, not as single spies but in battalions. Following the news of the death of Minimus earlier in the month, we now have to announce the sad loss of Indie, a much younger cat.
This was particularly poignant, as she had just recovered from an op to reset her leg after being knocked down in the road behind our house. The plaster and external splint had been removed, and she was starting to play and run about. It's true that she has never enjoyed good health, being often on antibiotics for coryza and breathing difficulties, but the latest bout was different, she stopped eating and was limp and sleepy. We took her to the vet yesterday, who was puzzled by her symptoms , a low temperature and white cell count. He treated her as best he could but warned us that she might die during the weekend, a forecast which was unfortunately correct, as she expired peacefully in her sleep last night.
Bye bye, Indie, we shall long remember your good nature and affection.
Bye for now, can't say any more..
