Big Ted’s Second Midlife Crisis Build

He really was the most lovely cat to know, so friendly that he even bought the non cat lovers round.

He was FIV and when he got really poorly we were advised by the vet that treatment would be unlikely to make a difference and would also be unethical given he hated going to the vet so much (it was the only time he got distressed - during lockdown we took him for his vaccines and when the veterinary nurse bought him back to the car she said “I’m sorry but he’s really angry”). But even when he must have been in pain and was losing weight, he didn’t stop being really affectionate, still seeking out cuddles and company right to the very end.

Irreplaceable and still very much missed.

Thanks, so many photos, so many happy memories

So a tube shaped parcel arrived yesterday and what did it contain….

(The beer is from my advent calendar, was tasty if a touch potent)

Second photo was supposed to be a playful reference to Cast No Shadow but it went a bit The Tall Man

And when Big Ted gets parched, he drinks
