Can I say a huge thank you to everyone for their positive comments yesterday. I don't really know what to say other than you are a fabulous group of girls and your thoughts and hugs and good wishes mean so much. Thank you so much, Nigel and I are very very touched and I am sure Kira is too. She pretends she can't read of course, but I am sure she's been looking over my shoulder.
I went to the vets today to collect the food they ordered specially for us. It is a Hills Science diet but a version only sold through vets not like our ordinary Hills. And my goodness - no more stash shopping for me ever if this works! With three cats, they all have to go on it for the trial. The bag - smaller than a normal Hills bag - is to last us 10 days, but witht he weights given it will only last us a week. *Fiki is a BIG BOY) And it was £20!!!!!For a week. That works out at over £1000 a year on cat food. Heck. That sounded like a heck of a lot. I have sat and worked it out and it almost exactly twice as much as we currently pay for cat food annually!
However, if that is what it takes I don't begrudge a penny and I will go without myself if needs be so she gets well. We CHOSE to have her and promised to love and care for her whatever it took when we welcomed her into our family - so that's what we will do. Of course!
So - we start tonight. Nothing anywhere except this z/d food and I just hope to heck they like it. Else I really am stuffed.
This page is a page I made for the cyber crop on UKS. I have always prided myself (and nigh on killed myself) buy usually doing every class and every challenge over a cyber crop weekend. I LURVE cyber crops. However this one has sort of passed me by. the first weekend I was away allw eekend at Scrapcamp. I simply don't get to scrap in the week at all at the moment. Last weekend I was at a crop and then had to make Nigel's album and so I have done almost nothing. Unheard of for me. There was, however, a scraplift challenge. One was to scraplift a page from the person posting above you so I made this as a scraplift of one of lacemakers pages.
The other was to scraplift a page from your favourites. well one of my all time fave scrapper has to be Sue (doogle007) I adore her work. I love her style, the content, everything (and she is a really really nice girl too) Her work is often very detailed and intricate but I had one of her pages in my faves which was the opposite. It was breathtaking in its simplicity and so I also scraplifted that. It was a real page to let the picture do all the work. I actually found it really really hard NOT to add more bits to it.
I hope Kira is feeling better today.
One of our cats has the CD cat food and has had it for years, it cost me £100 at the weekend to get the next 3 months!

I hope Kira is feeling a bit better today. You'll have to be very strong if they don't seem to like the new food at first - they will eat it if they're hungry - honestly!
Love and hugs to you all.
xx

I too hope the diet helps Kira gain some weight and get back on an even keel, bless her. I know how much all your fut babies mean to you, its never about money. I love your scraplifts, I have done one and one more to finish for the UKS CC, it kind of passed me by too.
Thinking of you all xx
