yes she is eating enough for two now.  and she can hobble short distances.  

yesterday was a big day for me - watching her take her first steps, planting out my spinach seedlings in the bed I have been so laboriously making.  and renting out my flat!

It was such a coincidence.  I'd reached that point where it's like I need an income and saw this couple on Flatmates that I liked the look of and it was we have just found a place but send some pics if you like and I did and she texts back saying it looks like where we used to live and she said she loved living here.  They had been away and come back and see the thing is when I bought this house they had asked if they could stay and I had said no I wanted the place empty and I did, it was a year before I first rented the flat out.

so it's all very satisfying somehow, for all of us - we bonded over mask-wearing etiquette.

so the answer I came to was yes of course I am some kind of idiot but I remembered the reason I put the cat first - I thought it's her life we are talking about snuffing out, she gets first dibs.
