It was nine years ago today we welcomed a 6-year-old, overweight (40kg) crossbreed rescue with dodgy hips. We could never have imagined Emily would still be here, very arthritic, 15 years 4 months and a mere 23kg. The arthritis injections are four-weekly now and she needs a fair bit more care, but she still enjoys life, especially her walks and lying on her rug in the sitting room.

He has been coming to the back door for food recently and we now see him most nights and some mornings. He was very timid at first and wouldn't let us approach, but now he will accept a fuss and rub against your leg. Sometimes he will come into the kitchen and look around, usually to see if Deedee has left some food in her bowl, but won't stay long.
He seems fairly young and is a tiny little waif like thing, at least compared to Deedee who has the build and the appetite of a prop forward. He needs feeding up a bit and is now regularly consuming a couple of pouches a day and some biscuits.
When he is confident enough we hope to capture him and get him to the vets to be checked for a chip and neutered if necessary, though at the moment they will only deal with emergencies. If he doesn't belong to anyone else we will see if he and Deedee can get along well enough to co-habit. At the moment he is in complete awe of Deedee. He follows her around the yard making cute little chirrupy noises which get the occasional reponse of a hiss back from Deedee but no violence. We think this is a good sign as had Deedee not wanted him around she would have swatted him one by now.
He still hasn't been neutered as our vets are still doing emergency only, and Sunday night he turned up on his third visit with dirt all over him and tufts missing from his neck, so we reckon a bigger tom cat has gone for him. As a result we've bitten the bullet and arranged, with the help of a local cat rescue woman, to get him neutered at Pets at Home (though this was booked before the new lockdown so I guess it's now pending) and this should be happening next week. The only hitch will be him, as he will need to turn up the evening before so local cat woman can take him to her cattery and hold him overnight to make sure he doesn't eat for twelve hours.
We are going to hold back on a microchip for now because he still seems determined to be the wild rover for now, but we'll wait and see if neutering diminishes his wanderlust.
