Vicky gives Ziggy, who was born with a neurological disorder but has also been clouted by a car, some love. A more affectionate boy you would be hard pressed to meet but, 'cos of his 'wobbly nature', he'll now spend the rest of his days at the centre as one of the 'let out daily' brigade.
Dave with a cat who is, amazingly, even more affectionate than Ziggy.
This is Wesley and he's absolutely lovely.
These small pens are what normally constitute the 'Medical Centre', but as there are so many cats in the pens outside today these little cages are being used by cats waiting to be re-homed.
F = Ziggy, you've met him already.
Oi! Getcha tail outtavit! I'm 'avin' me photo took!
'Ben the cock' is still with us but at least he's stopped crowing about stuff so much now.
He's getting a new pen later today.
Meet three-fifths of the 'every 4th Sunday' crew. From left to right: Mikki, Vicky (with Sox - not long for this world), and Lucy.
It's about 12:15 and Lucy (Helen will be here any minute) has arrived to take over until closing time. Normally, we are keen to get going so we can get home to fall asleep.....er.........I mean watch whichever F1 GP is on at 1pm. However, today, it doesn't start 'til 2pm so we have more time for chat after the usual handover. We chat about the weather and the predicted storm arriving this evening and the need to batten down the hatches; Lucy reveals that she knows who won the F1 GP - she is immediately told in no uncertain terms to say nowt; then we chat about the latest episode of Inspector Montalbano (commissare! dotore! etc) which gives David ample opportunity to use his best cod Italian accent much to his amusement if nobody else's.
Then it's back to Worcester for a wash and brush up, something to eat, feed Emlyn, and then settle down to sleep thru'....ahem.....I mean avidly watch the F1 GP.
N.B. After all that worry, the storm amounts to some rain and a bit of a stiff breeze (the south and east got it much worse by all accounts) so the cats should all have been fine.
No doubt, we'll find out next month.
