Friday Flashback and Caturday Art.

Before the flashback, we had some more cards arrive on New Year's Eve.
l-r. Cats of the Wildcat Woods. Four Legged Furballs. Giovanni, Gabriel and Angel Tylan. Janet and Ducky.

l-r. Dawn, Ferguson and Angels Lola and Lexi. 15 and Meowing. Tommy and Teaghan.
Thank you to everyone.

The flashback comes from June 2011 and was a few days after I got home from hospital after having a hysterectomy for cancer the first time around. 
On the subject of cancer, a few of you already know that I had my consultation on Tuesday after my 3 monthly CT scan. Unfortunately after being dormant for a year after the chemotherapy it has now become active on my liver again. I have had all the pre treatment tests and should be starting immunotherapy in 2-3 weeks. There is a huge list of side effects, including possibly losing my hair again, nausea, loss of appetite, it all sounds like déja vu but has to be done. Please wish me luck.

Guardians.
Mum is taking very short walks every day and we join her on her soft shoe shuffle on the way to the field.
When we get there, she sits on the patio chair that dad put there for her and takes photos of him taking a rest from working hard.

Eric: I stand in the middle of the field to make sure everything is safe for mum.

Yup, you're okay mum, no introoders around.

Flynn: I've been checking too and all looks safe. I'm coming to snuggle with you mum.

Phew! We never knew what hard work it would be looking after mum!

I am joining Athena, the Cat Goddess for Caturday Art.


For both I used Devilish at 40%, then Scribble at 20%.


For Eric I used Illusion at 50%, then Emboss at 40%.

    Hugs! BIG ones! 🥰 ❤️ 🥰

    I loved how Eric and Flynn were keeping an eye on you for support and safely! MJF and Pipo & Minko were sort of like that, too when I was sick from surgeries and chemo back in the day. Our furry children are such good guardians!

  9. Praying that your new treatment is not too difficult on your body. When you came home from this operation I am sure you were so glad to see the boys. And they must have been relieved to have you back home. My prayers are with you.

  25. I must say guys, that I, Marvelous am always jealous when we come to visit. Our Peep thinks Eric and Flynn are handsome boys and oOOoOoOoos and AaaaAAAAs. Kozmo laughs at me. He says that you guys taught him how to be the purrfect spy and mouser back when he was young and that you guys deserve all the OoOOooing and AaaAAAAing. We have you Mum in our purrayers and we send head bonks, and whisker kisses. Keep being AWESOME! Marvelous Marv (and gang)

  28. I don't know how I missed last week's flashback post! I'm glad I checked this morning before I post on the current one. Sending you a warm comforting hug - I also had a hysterectomy due to cancer (back in 2013) Pictures this week are so heartwarming. Catwork is so nice! Wishing you and Ivor well. Until next time...Jean
