CAT FRIENDS... I got this little one back from the vet yesterday afternoon. She's not herself at all. Still very under the weather. She's sleeping a lot and she's off her food. Loads of tests at the vet. Her bloods are all okay and she doesn't have pancreatitis. So the vomiting is a mystery.

Finally made it onto BlueSky. I arrive with optimism and hope that it doesn't come with the divisiveness and bigotry that has plagued other platforms. I'm the author of three novellas and the publisher at www.inkandescent.co.uk. Amongst others, we publish the latest work of Neil bartlett.
