Thank you everyone.
I has been an awful day, because we had to take Scary Spice the quail in to be PTS this evening. Mike and I are in a daze. We can't believe Mustard is gone.
He came to us 7 years ago as a feral cat, who was in a small CPL cage with his brother from the age of 2 months to 10 months. He was never a cuddly cat, but went out during the day and always came in at night. When Triger arrived, minus a leg, he adopted him and we even saw him catching mice to give to Triger. After Triger was PTS, he spent a week calling for him.
Mustard then developed toxoplasmosis, and even then didn't give up, he coped with blindness, tense muscles and being handle and tableted daily- as Yola said, he was a fighter.
Tonight will be awful, feeding them all and not tapping his food bowl so he could find it, not waiting for him to decide when he wanted to be lifted into bed, not cleaning his mouth and waiting for him to cuddle down between us. The hardest bit, not waking in the night and checking he is OK with a quick pat.
