I have been feeding the cutest little stray tom cat i ever seen for last year or so,wild little thing,turned up in my garden one day,starving hungry. was so scared of me at first. gradually he got tamer,although i was never able to get near enough to catch him i would have taken him to vet for checkover. this last few weeks,he has taken to sleeping in the kennel i have near my back door,it is there for when Brian,friend of mums,comes to sunday lunch with us and brings his dog. gradually,puddy (ok,not very origional ) had got tamer he didn,t run off when i went near him,and i even managed to gently touch him. last week he seemed unwell,and in fact had left couple nasty little surprises covered in the gravel path. but yesterday,was eating ok,and let me touch him when i put his food down. sadly,this morning i went out back door and let my cat sooty out,no puddy waiting,looked in kennel,wasn't there. so i went to empty sootys food she had left into his dish,and to put fresh sachet in,when i looked along hedge. and he lay dead. by the look he had just dropped dead. was lying soaking wet. poor little thing. i may be bloody soft,but i must admit i shed a tear. he is buried in what was the vegetable garden,i can no longer manage to grow veg. and will lay there undisturbed. R.I.P.puddy. at least i know you have had food and warmth this last year,
I had A round from housing association to examine faulty door,she could see what i meant,and agreed that door was faulty. was going back to instruct contractors to sort it,as soon as possible. she said, i opened my mail in box saw your name,and thought oh noooooo. lol
lastly,them ducks. lol yasmin asks do they have names? pam suggests running a comp. to name them. well, any suggestions anyone?? they are usually called ooooo look its our ducks back,at start of season to them bloody ducks are ruining my pond by end. lol. not just ducks,it's lovely to see the bluetits feeding away on the bird feeders,the dawn chorus is starting,the longer days and lightening mornings bring a host of birds to my garden. like my poor little cat,all are welcome, take care all

oh, that was so sweet of you to befriend this cat, I bet you made its last year of life a special one; knowing it could count on food from you daily!!
I'm so unoriginal for names; ducky and lucky come to mind for your fine-feathered visitors!
betty
NOW I know I like you even more than I thought I did. You have a kind heart I to would have done all I could to help that kitty and when I found it dead especially sopping wet it would have broke my heart. You were so kind to have buried him. Many people would have just thrown it away. I do hope you are having a good day today. My son Alan, did not have much pain but the awful thing, that disease did to his body was extremly difficult for him and for me to watch. His vision was one of the first to be affected. If you do not want me to discuss the illness and bothers you, please tell me. It would not hurt my feelings at all. Hope you have loads of remissions. Lucille 4346
How nice that you were able to look after the stray for a while at least. I'm so sorry he died. I am visiting your journal via Pam's recommendation. Congratulations on being one of her Guest Editor's picks last week. I enjoyed this entry and look forward to coming back again.

That's sad, Mort. It's a shame you couldn't do more for Puddy, but - it was his time. You did well looking after him. Hope they fix that door of yours once and for all, geez
