I've always had cats, but two months ago, I got my first ever dog, Lucy <span style="color: red;">♥</span><br />

Today was the first day of the new year and the new decade, and also the 15th day of work I've done without any days off.. 👾 (Still at least four more days to come - and maybe a few more..)<br />

So, I haven't really had the time to celebrate the holidays much!<br />
<br />
I get up at 4:30am, leave for work at 6am, and have mostly split shifts, during the busy time, so I do a few hours in the morning, come home for a 4-hour lunch break, and then back to work for a few more hours, getting home when it's already past my ideal bed time, feed the cats, put a wash on, need to wait until it's done, so I can hang the clothes to dry (I've only two sets of work clothes), go to bed, and do the same again.. On the two days a week when I have a "short day" (7-2, or 7-3), I have the time to do my shopping, wash the parts of my work gear that need a bit longer to dry, etc..<br /><br />The good part is that now that we're so busy, we're all at work every day, so there's banter - and we have a ton of chocolate, which helps a lot!!! <span style="color: red;">♥</span> And, of course, we all love the animals <span style="color: red;">♥</span> We mostly get regular four-legged customers, so we know them all quite well, and there's cuddles and fun <span style="color: red;">♥</span><br />

Christmas Eve candles in the kitchen.. <span style="color: red;">♥</span><br />
<br />
I've done the first seven days of (at least) 19 days of work without any days off, so I'm pretty exhausted, and I'll be on split shifts for Christmas Day & St. Stephen's Day, not leaving much time to celebrate Christmas, but I had a 7am-2pm day today, so tonight was my "Christmas" 🎅🎄<br />
<br />

My next 7am-2pm day will be this Friday, so I'm planning to have a much needed "maintenance day" as the weekend will be all split shifts again.. But we actually have lots of fun at work (also, lots of chocolate.. <b><i>LOTS!!!</i></b>), and, of course, we love the dogs and cats.. <span style="color: red;">♥</span> So, it's not too bad!<br />

Last Tuesday was a difficult day.. I'd had a busy morning, I was at home for some lunch, and I had about thirty minutes left until heading out again.. I was planning to just chill, but one of my outdoor cats (TabTab), and the main house rottweiler, were being loud, which was unusual - I decided to go out and see what was going on..<br />
<br />
As soon as I approached the patio door, I saw the little white body, next to the paddock gate.. I didn't even have to get closer to know that it was PeepPeep (another one of my outdoor cats), and that she was dead.. 😭💔<br />
<br />
I couldn't change my plans for the day, but I also couldn't leave her there.. Absolute panic..<br />
<br />
I grabbed a pillow case (one of my ancient ones, with Snoopy and Woodstock, and lots of hearts..), plastic bags, and gloves, and found access to PeepPeep as the actual gate is currently not in use..<br />
<br />

<br />
I have no idea what happened.. She had no marks on her, she hadn't attempted to drag herself to a hidden spot (which is something that any injured or very ill cat would do, if at all possible), her eyes were still open, and all clear.. There was only a very small amount of strong yellow vomit, on the side of her that was against the ground - it had come from the side of her mouth, so there was no sign of any "foaming" or such, which could have suggested some type of poisoning..<br />
<br />
Whatever it was, must have killed her very suddenly - a small mercy..<br />
<br />
She was quite stiff, but I was still able to slightly adjust her position (when wrapping her in the pillow case), so I'd estimate that she had died about an hour before I found her..<br />
<br />
As I was wrapping her, TabTab and Little Mami (her daily breakfast and dinner friends) were watching, and so was the main house rottweiler - they were all clearly very upset.. 😢<br />

At first, I was going to leave her waiting for me to come home, later, so that I could maybe find a burial spot for her.. But then I thought, she may have had people missing her as she was not feral at all, so I decided to take her to Village Vets Dunshaughlin, on my way out, and have her scanned..<br />
<br />
She wasn't chipped, and I decided to have her cremated, with the ashes returned to me..<br />
<br />
It's massively expensive (especially for my budget -<b><i> €200!!!</i></b>), but my other cats have been buried, and as that wasn't an option, this time, I could not just let her go.. I know I would have regretted it forever.. So, now she will come back to me, and maybe someday, I can find a beautiful burial spot for her ashes..<br />

I don't remember when I first saw her, but it started with occasional patio visits, and as she was always so tame, I assumed that she had a home in the nearby area..<br />
<br />
She had no tail - there was a big, puffy bump instead, and I always wondered if she'd been born like that, or if her tail had been amputated at some point..<br />
<br />
She had the cutest high pitch voice, which is why I named her PeepPeep.. <span style="color: red;">♥</span><br />

She got along well with TabTab and Little Mami - they would sometimes hiss at her, a little bit, but mostly they all accepted each other..<br />
<br />
She even did a few kissy-kissies with Cara, at the patio door <span style="color: red;">♥</span><br />

Maybe she didn't have a home anymore - she must have had one, being so tame.. But she had started spending more and more time on the patio, and ate 2-3 full meals per day, so I don't think she was fed elsewhere as she wasn't overweight at all.. But she seemed happy, and enjoyed herself in the sunny spots..<br />

<br />
This was my last picture of her alive.. It's bittersweet..<br />
<br />
She seemed quite young - I wish she could have stayed with us for many more years..<br />
<br />
I'm also torn about not having had the time to do the usual "burial prep" for her.. I usually take some of their hair, and give them some of mine.. I write a letter, and select a toy to go with them.. But with the shock, and the shortage of time, I could only find her a pillow case I'd loved.. But she's coming back to me, in a different form..<br />
<br />

<br />
After taking a long time recovering from a big dental operation, losing lots of weight, being diagnosed with FIV, etc., Cuddles was making very slow progress, until yesterday..<br />
<br />
I knew it was time to let him go and free him from pain and discomfort..<br />
<br />
He was put to sleep at Village Vets Dunshaughlin, at 3:30pm - I held him all the way through it..<br />
<br />
Then we went to my friend's place where he was buried in a beautiful nature spot.. 🌿<br />

<br />
During his slow recovery, Cuddles had been confined in the (large) shower cubicle where he had his comfy bed, litter tray, selection of food, water, and hot water bottles at night..<br />
<br />
At daytime, he was often in the living room with us, watching patio birds and cats, and just generally having family time and lap time with Mama, so that he wouldn't get bored or feel neglected in the shower flat..<br />
<br />
Even yesterday morning, he was still interested in birds, did the <i>"kakakaka"</i> hunt sounds at them, snapped at Cara when she went too close to his carrier / laundry basket hut..<br />

<br />
But he had stopped eating, although he had been eating 4-5 full meals per day, since his gums had finally healed from the dental surgery, and had finally started putting on some weight, having been down to 2,7kg..<br />

<br />
I knew he was never going to make a "full recovery" - he'd recently had more tests done, and the results were very bad, he had bad anemia, etc.. But he was making very slow progress, he was on Doxycycline for the last few days, he was slowly putting weight on, he was eating well, he was interested in things, his skin lesions had healed with Manuka honey.. So, I was hopeful that we might get him well enough to still enjoy life for a bit longer..<br />
<br />
But no.<br />
<br />
When he stopped eating, and made a few sounds to show the first signs of actual discomfort, I knew that this was it..<br />

I was living in Bray when I lost my previous cats (outdoor cat Ginga, and my own Thatsit and Oimouttahere), so they are all buried in the back garden of my previous home.<br />
<br />
Now that I'm renting, I had no option to bury Cuddles, but an amazing friend promised a grave spot in her lovely garden <span style="color: red;">♥</span><br />
<br />
I have a death routine, which some may find a bit macabre, but it helps my own healing process..<br />
<br />
I write them a love letter from Mama, including some of my hair (and in this occasion, also some of Cara's hair), so that I can be forever with them.. I give them a soft toy, which is something that's very dear to me.. I take some of their hair to keep them with me forever.. And I wrap them in something comfortable - I wrapped Cuddles in a pillow case, which was probably older than myself.. I'd had it since my early childhood..<br />
<br />
Village Vets Dunshaughlin have been so great with Cuddles, and they were lovely again for his last visit.. We got some time alone before and after - I prepped Cuddles for his funeral before <i>rigor mortis</i> set in, and then we were off to my friend's place..<br />
<br />
As I was driving, I switched the radio on for some music to give me something else to think about - the first song was <b><i><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rOiW_xY-kc">Everybody Hurts</a></i></b> by R.E.M. 😭😭😭<br />

S even put a lantern on the grave, later on, when I'd already returned home to my Cara.. <span style="color: red;">♥</span><br />
<br />
S has a Cara as well - a really shy cat who doesn't let anyone else than S touch her, like, ever.. But yesterday, Cara surprised me by coming to me, gently headbutting my hand, and even allowing me to pet her a little bit! 😍 That was so special.. <span style="color: red;">♥</span><br />

When I came home, Cuddles' shower flat was still there, with food and all, just as we'd left it..<br />
<br />
I couldn't deal with it right there and then, so I left it for the night..<br />

Before we left, earlier on, I carried Cuddles to where Cara was chilling, for goodbyes.. (Very difficult moment for myself..)<br />

When I came home alone, hours later, Cara was confused..<br />

Today, poor Cara has been looking for Cuddles.. 😢💔<br />
<br />
When Cuddles was still with us, and feeling poorly, Cara would often go check up on him.. Now she's been checking everywhere, including upstairs, clearly wondering why Cuddles is not here..<br />

There was some Cuddles hair on the scarf that was his carrier bedding.. I couldn't throw it away, so I put it in the same bag where I already had some of his hair..<br />

<br />
Here are some of the first pictures I ever took of Cuddles.. Top left, the very first one..<br />
<br />
I moved to my current home in April 2014, and planned not to get any pets.. In June, I found Cara injured on the road, and as no one claimed her, I adopted her..<br />
<br />
Some months later, I saw Cuddles on Facebook - his then family were moving abroad, and were looking for a new home for Cuddles..<br />
<br />
I decided to adopt him.. I meant to get him from the previous family, but as we were not in direct contact, there was some miscommunication and he ended up spending a few days with the DSPCA.. I collected him from there, and found that we were actually his third family as his very first family had also moved abroad - but they still followed him on Facebook <span style="color: red;">♥</span> (It's also thanks to them, that I know Cuddles' real birth date, and have a few baby photos - I am not sharing the photos as they are not mine to share, and include some members of his first family..)<br />
<br />
He was so good, from the very first moments.. He must have been a bit scared in the car, suddenly being with a stranger, in a new place, going to another new place.. But as soon as I let him out of the carrier, at home, he explored everywhere, and they got along with Cara, even if they never really became massively close..<br />

<br />
It took me over a year to fully get Cuddles' trust, and he was never a lap cat as such, but when he did realise that this would be his forever home, he did often come to my lap for a long nap <span style="color: red;">♥</span><br />
<br />
He didn't like handling, but he loved headbutting, or just staying a long time, forehead against forehead.. <span style="color: red;">♥</span> He did also let me tickle him under the chin, but would soon let me know that he'd had enough of that now..<br />
<br />
At some point, he was a bit chubby, weighing 6kg.. We got it down to 5 - 5,5kg, which was his ideal size.. So, to think that in his last weeks, he went down to 2,7kg...... But did gain enough in his last days, to be almost 3kg..<br />
<br />
He enjoyed napping, and watching birds.. Cara would often try to play with Cuddles, but usually he wasn't interested, and would give Cara another scratch on her nose.. This never stopped Cara from trying again.. <span style="color: red;">♥</span> And they did sometimes take turns chasing each other up and down the stairs, sounding like a herd of elephants.. <span style="color: red;">♥</span><br />

I was so hoping to have many more years with Cuddles, but it wasn't to be.. I didn't want him to suffer, so I had to let him go - he is now free from all pain and discomfort, forever resting in a lovely place <span style="color: red;">♥</span><br />

I've been working every single day since 19th December, and it's still ongoing for a while, so I didn't have much energy to celebrate Christmas or New Year, but I got some Supervalu noms, yesterday..<br />
<br />
I was actually fast asleep when the year changed as I wanted a good sleep, between an early and a late shift - still exhausted, though!!!<br /><br />Happy New Year 🎇🎆🎆🎆🎇Stellohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04981603232607622128noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125654.post-28138685683143718712018-12-24T19:45:00.000+00:002018-12-24T19:45:05.402+00:00Happy Christmas ♥<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I got lots of peas, and had I replaced my flimsy yarn support, when the plants started getting too heavy, I probably would have gotten loads more.. Maybe next year - I've already bought stronger support string..</div>

My favourite (=lots of flavour, and the least effort to make..) is to clean and chop the spuds, mix them with plenty of oil, and all kinds of seasonings (sweet chilli sauce is a must..), then spread them on the oven tray, and roast them for maybe 40 minutes or so..<br />

Not a great year for herbs.. Mainly because I haven't had enough windowsill space, so most of my herbs have been on the kitchen counter where they don't really get enough sunshine.. But I have frozen a good bit of mint, and I think some basil and parsley as well..<br />

My dad died ten years ago today - somehow it feels like it can't be ten years ago already, but on the other hand, thinking back to everything that has happened since, it also seems like it could have happened twenty years ago..<br />

I've always liked banana bread, but I'd never actually baked any myself..<br />
<br />
A few days ago, I had a few bananas that were almost black, so I thought I'd google for banana bread recipes, and see if I could find one that wouldn't require buying any ingredients that I didn't have already..<br />
<br />
I found <b><a href="https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/banana_bread/">this one on Simply Recipes</a></b> 🍌🍞 😃<br />

My oven is fan assisted, so the bread was ready in 40 minutes - also, I kept checking on it while it was in the oven, and I noticed the top starting to get too dark too soon, so I put some baking paper on it, and it turned out perfect <span style="color: red;">♥</span><br />

We had been asked to bring any household stuff that we might not need or want anymore, should anyone else find some use for it.. I didn't bring anything as I still have a lot of my stuff in Bray, and anything I have at home that I don't need, belongs to the house, so I can't get rid of it.<br />
<br />
However, I got this third hand George Foreman grill! I almost didn't grab it as it's quite big, and I don't really have any counter space left in the kitchen, but having since tried it, I am so glad that I DID take it! I just need to clear some space for it, whenever I use it.<br />

The lot! 😃 That's the <b>garden kit</b> from the workshop, my pot decoration prize (the <b>greenhouse</b>), and some workshop leftovers - <b>extra mulch</b>, and an opened pack of <b><a href="https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/products/indoor-gardening/indoor-growing-accessories/v%C3%A4xer-growing-media-starter-plugs-art-40317648/">starter plugs</a></b>.. Oh, and a <b>spray bottle</b> that was added to our kit, during the workshop.<br />

The seeds that I planted at the workshop, had shifted a bit on my way home, but I'd placed the tray in a mulch bag, so none were lost 😂<br />

I put my newly planted ice cube tray in the greenhouse where it was safe from the cats, but then I had to put the greenhouse on the kitchen window sill as it's the only spot with enough natural light, and where the cats can't knock it down..<br />

It was difficult, trying to cram my other plants around it.. But it was also great motivation to finally bury the dead basil trees that didn't survive the winter, but were still on the windowsill.. (Yes, they started from one supermarket pot of basil, and actually grew so big that I classified them as trees, heh..) I also re-potted the avocado twins, and trimmed my oldest bonsai..<br />

I cleared the parts of the collapsed cat run (it went down under heavy snow in March..), did my best to secure the wobbly fence (which had collapsed this way and that way, in many storms, and again under that heavy snow..), put up some fresh netting, wrapped some cosmetic netting around the cat hut, etc.. Oh, and I took down all the ivy from the back fence as that fence was about to collapse under the weight of the ivy jungle..<br />

These seed pots are lovely - there's a little pot, compressed mulch, a tissue sheet of seeds, a little marker, and instructions..<br />

Pumpkin and scarlet runner bean.. I got tons of beans, in 2015 (I think), all the way up to October / November! I planted some again, last year, but I planted them too late (due to almost having moved back to Bray, which would have been hell), so there wasn't much growth in the first place, and then it was all eaten by slugs or such - no beans at all..<br />

I'd started to think that my tomatoes might not happen at all, but after ten days, there were some signs of life - so tiny that I nearly missed them!<br />

I really don't think I would have had all this motivation, had we not had that workshop!<br />
<br />
I'd love to plant more stuff out in the garden, but I can't afford to get enough compost, right now, so maybe next year..<br />

For me, this one was more like a "general interest, and a free meal" workshop as I don't have the money or space for a pressure cooker.<br />
<br />
As many other lagomers, I had childhood memories of my granny using a (vintage) pressure cooker, which was a scary, potentially dangerous thing.. 😂<br />
<br />
The <b><a href="https://www.ikea.com/ie/en/products/cookware/pots-pans/v%C3%A4rdes%C3%A4tta-pressure-cooker-stainless-steel-art-50286745/">IKEA pressure cooker</a></b> is a very modern version, though, and if I had a large kitchen with lots of storage space, plus the funds for it, I probably would buy one.<br />

T and S were doing the cooking, and demonstrating the pressure cooker features - the rest of us were enjoying the lovely smell of the curry, and drooling..<br />

There were two different curries on the same plate, which is not too clear in the picture, but they were both delicious, and I think we all had a second serving.. Nom.. <span style="color: red;">♥</span><br />

My friend also attended with her son, so we went for a KFC coffee afterwards as the IKEA café was already closed.<br />
<br />
In the second picture, some previously loved goods I got from another lagomer - the electric blanket was a real lifesaver during the cold spell, when I couldn't afford to get kerosene for heating.<br />

We got goody bags from the workshop as well <span style="color: red;">♥♥♥♥♥</span><br />
<br />
I love the <b>bag</b> itself, and I've used most of the contents quite a lot, since! There was a <b>chopping board</b>, which is larger than the one I had, so I've been using mostly the new one lately.. I absolutely LOVE the <b>glass bottle</b>, and I'm using it all the time.. When I'm at home, it's right next to me, so I can take a sip of juice or water, whenever I feel like it.. And when I go somewhere, I often take the bottle with me, so I won't have to buy something expensive when I get thirsty.. It was also good to get a <b>bottle brush</b> for keeping the bottle clean! There was also a <b>Förtrolig container (17x23x9 cm)</b> - I already had two in that size, and two larger ones, thanks to my original LiveLAGOM shopping list, but I wouldn't mind having even more of them! They are just SO useful for all kinds of stuff, easy to clean, etc.. You can never have too many <b>wooden spoon</b>s, so that one was useful, too..

This is really simple, quick and easy to make, and if you make tortilla wraps with it, it's almost addictive.. 😃<br />

No need to measure anything for this one, but I'll mention how much I used, below;<br />

<br />
First, I chopped two celery stalks.. (Btw, if you're not a great fan of celery, but aren't actually allergic to it, I can still recommend trying this salad - maybe even with just one stalk of celery.. The celery flavour is not obvious at all, in the salad, it's mainly there just for the right kind of texture, and works well with the other flavours..)<br />
<br />
Then, a whole small onion..<br />
<br />

<br />
Next, about 10-15cm (= 4-6 inches) of cucumber..<br />
<br />
And then, the florets of a whole, average size broccoli..<br />
<br />

<br />
You'll need plenty of mayonnaise (or light mayonnaise) to hold it all together - I used three <i><b>VERY</b></i> generous tablespoons..<br />
<br />
One generous tablespoon of green pesto..<br />
<br />
You don't necessarily <i>need</i> to add anything else, but I like to add some sea salt, black pepper, oregano, and chilli powder.. Just a sprinkle of each - see the above (left) picture for reference..<br />
<br />
Mix it all together, and your salad is ready!<br />

You can eat it as a salad, but my absolute favourite way is to stuff a tortilla wrap with it.. Total binge stuff 😍 I have actually had days when I have broccoli salad tortilla wraps for every meal..<br />

The lovely blankets came just in time as I was sick for Christmas, staying home alone as a sofa burrito..<br />

The extra clothes dryer has made my laundry schedule so much easier, and the laundry bag corner looks so much better (see below)..<br />
<br />
I'm also in love with the Förtrolig dishes, and I've used them a lot!<br />

My old laundry bag was a sorry looking old shopping bag - and occasionally, a bunch of plastic bags on top of it.. The laundry corner looks so much nicer now!<br />
<br />
I did actually get two laundry bags, but the other one hasn't found its place yet. I considered putting it in the bedroom upstairs, but that would probably become a cat bed in no time..<br />

I often prep fruit and store it in the fridge, in the smaller Förtrolig dishes. It's handy to just grab some snack size fruity bits whenever I feel like it..<br />

I was a bit early, so had a sambo and a <b><i>gorgeous</i></b> carrot-orange-apple juice while waiting.. (I've tried to replicate it at home, but I don't have a juicer, so I can only make a smoothie version - nice as well, but not quite as good as the juice version..)<br />

We were hand stitching draft blocker cushions - and the children were drawing pictures, as well as designing their own snake cushions..<br />
<br />
The workshop was only scheduled to last two hours, I think, but I actually ended up staying another two hours, to finish my cushion! Very enjoyable evening <span style="color: red;">♥</span><br />

As you can see, it's BIG!!! 😂 (I got some leftover materials, and stitched another one at home, after the workshop - I just need filling for it.. And I JUST took several bags of old clothes to a recycling centre, last summer.. Had I not done that, I could have used them for filling!)<br />

Earlier today, I found and followed a lovely miniature related Instagram account, <b><a href="https://www.instagram.com/golightly_miniatures/">golightly_miniatures</a></b>..<br />

<br />
One of the pictures they'd shared, <b><a href="http://ilovehatephoto.com/2015/01/29/time-favorite-fashion-celebrity-photographers/web_fairy-tales-annie-leibovitz/">a shot by Annie Leibovitz</a></b>, features a fashion model in a dollhouse, sort of like Alice in Wonderland, too large for her surroundings..<br />
<br />
I liked the photo, and moved on..<br />
<br />
After a while, I switched the telly on, and after some channel hopping, I found a romcom type film, which had just started - <b><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3276632/reference">Love by Design</a></b>, so I thought I'd leave it on for some background entertainment..<br />
<br />
And suddenly, they were having a fashion shoot, where the female lead was arranging this shot;<br />

A glimpse of that scene is on the official movie trailer on youtube;<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
I just couldn't believe the TIMING.. Until today, I had never seen the original fashion picture.. So, what are the odds, that I should see it for the first time, and then, max. two hours later, see a movie where it was copied..?! Complete coincidence.. 😃</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The film itself is not so good.. 😂 The female lead is from Romania, and goes back home, after losing her job and boyfriend in NYC.. Although she has clearly lived in Romania until old enough to move abroad on her own (=most of her life), her mother starts by introducing her to her other family members, and them to her.. Like, what? Surely, you'd know your family members already, having lived there for your first twenty years or so?!?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Also, they speak English with heavy accents, and some local people speak Romanian, with someone translating to the lead character, because she doesn't understand / speak Romanian.. Again - what? She'd lived there until leaving for the US, and you don't just forget your first language in a few years..</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Then, there's the new romantic interest, an English guy, who is desperately trying to be young Hugh Grant..</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Lots of facepalming..</div>

He appeared on the patio, earlier this month, just out of the blue..</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I could instantly tell, that at some point, he had been somebody's pet. I have known many feral, and semi-feral cats, but this was a cat who had no fear of people, who came to ask for food and love..</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Was he lost? Had he been dumped?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
He was in poor condition, skinny, dirty, sniffles, battle wounds, swollen head.. It was clear, that he'd been on his own for quite a while, but not in this area, because I feed my established semi-feral colony twice a day, and had he been in the area, he would have come for the food sooner.</div>

He ate, and he took over the cat hut (Fiarshúileach was very upset as it has been more or less his hut, since he took it over from Little Mami and family..)<br />

Having found regular food, and comfortable shelter (I bring hot water bottles to the hut, every morning and evening), Beannaithe (whom I hadn't named yet, at that point) stayed..<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
I knew I'd have to get him to the vets, but I did not have a trap, and I definitely didn't have the funds..<br />
<br />
One morning, he didn't come out of the hut for breakfast, so I knew that things had taken a turn for the worse.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I managed to lure him out of the hut, using food, and even managed to get him into a cat carrier! Total fluke!<br />
<br />
I still didn't have the money to take him to the vets, but some lovely people in an Irish cat group on Facebook, promised to donate towards the fee - I also got a lift to the clinic (and back) as I had just left my own car in the garage for some repairs..<br />

My phone snaps aren't great, but I wanted to share them all, just in case someone out there is still missing him.. He had been neutered, and his ears were in tact, so he must have had a home.. (Usually, when feral cats are trapped, neutered, and returned to their area, one of their ears is <b><a href="https://www.neighborhoodcats.org/how-to-tnr/veterinary/eartipping">tipped</a></b>, to show that the cat has been neutered - this will save rescues time, effort, and funds, and the cats won't need to be stressed with unnecessary trips to the vets, if they've already been neutered..)<br />

He was given long lasting antibiotics, and as I hadn't been able to arrange a foster home for him, at this point, I had to bring him back to my feral hut..<br />

It was after our trip to the vets, when I was contacted by <b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/northdublincatrescue/posts/770449519832667">North Dublin Cat Rescue</a></b> - they offered to arrange a foster home for Beannaithe!<br />
<br />
I knew I was always going to miss him, but I was so happy for him - with the shocking amount of unwanted cats and kittens out there, any cat who gets a home, is very lucky..<br />

I would have loved to give him so much more myself - cuddles, indoor shelter.. But I didn't know if he had anything contagious, and I couldn't put Cara and Cuddles at risk.. So, I only provided food and shelter, talked to him, and pet him gently, washing my hands before touching my own cats, just in case..<br />

I kept following Beannaithe via Facebook - there were public updates, and some private updates as well. (These last two pictures are from NDCR page, with permission of Beannaithe's foster mammy.)<br />
<br />
He was loved, made a dog friend, and received more veterinary care.. <span style="color: red;">♥</span><br />
<br />
However, he was not getting better, he lost weight, it turned out he had a tumour in the nose, and when his condition suddenly deteriorated, he had to be put to sleep, yesterday..<br /><br />It's sad, and heartbreaking (I cried my eyes out, last night..), but I know that the last weeks of his life were as good as possible.. He had a home, he was loved, and F took good care of him..<br />
<br />
I don't know what happened for him to lose the home he must have had, at some point, but if there is someone out there who might be missing him, I hope you see this.. Beannaithe was loved, and he didn't die alone <span style="color: red;">♥</span><br />
