Oh no! I haven't been either on Twitter or Bluesky much and am saddened to hear about dear Romeo.
Safe journeys, dear friend, and sending love to your human.

The first time I heard the OBCR I was very excited by his appearance. OOOH I KNOW WHO HE IS.
Of course my next reaction was "well they didn't tell me in confirmation class that he was SUCH a raging Tory".

Maya was my first and for most of her life my only so I didn't fully twig to what was going on. I thought the vet could save her.
She's let me know since that *she* knew she was dying the night before and *she* got what she wanted from me at the end (a long cuddle session).

I'm sorry for your loss. What a sweet and handsome boy.
One of my fosters is a Big Sweet Orange Boi and I will give him a kiss for Harley.

My chaotic calico Lucy sent me a tuxie brother from another mother so the BIG PURRS and BIG CHAOS quota in the house got filled.

My Lucy was an entropist. After she passed a lot of things fell over randomly. That's how I knew she was visiting. (*) "Oh hello there Lucy!"
(* that, or my foot somehow found the water bowl and upended it, her other favorite trick)

I went to a university with a top vet school and hope that one day they (or some other vet school) will learn how to treat this condition.

Maggie the tortiemeez (2004-2023) and Ruthie the tiny tortie terror (1999-2018) were my brave old girls who endured years of medication and vet visits so they could spend more time cuddling and sitting in the sun. They will congratulate their brave warrior friend Charlie.

Lucy (2006-2022) was a skeerdy cat and never completely shook her feral origins, but she was a big goofball with a BIG purr and the house was so quiet without her shenanigans. She loves meeting new friends and will be happy to greet Charlie.

Maya, the queen of the backyard savannah, departed this life somewhat suddenly in 2005 due to a saddle thrombus. She has let me know she's on the Welcoming and Orientation team, when she's not keeping an eye on me or the Aged Ps. I will tell her to BOLO for sweet Charlie.

Good afternoon #HWCafe pals. We have been missing our #Hedgewatch friends and can't believe it's #Nipfest2025 already. We have had many adventures including NEW FOSTERS.
