  Ta, we gave him a proper burial last night, had he been there for anothers he'd have wondered why the fuss, then played for tickles, then bit someone.

  We're already wondering how to stop the garden mice population spiking... rescue mouser maybe or train one from a kitten perhaps.

  Crap Pic alert.

  New tent is new. Dead easy to put up. Very Windy here but it has survived 2hrs so far so should make it through the night?

  Very roomy. Smells of new.

  @ExTra We're all (me, partner, & daughter) understandably upset but will be ok I think. We thought he'd have many more years.

  He was fine 5pm, dead at 7pm. Neighbour found him dead on her front lawn so knocked on to let us know.

  Friend a few doors down 16yo cat died last week, again sudden despite age & found on a lawn. We're discussing the similar circumstances but all need to keep emotions in check and not jump to any hasty conclusions.

  I keep my bike commutes private so as not to spam folks - yesterday had a feeling I'd be top 10 on a small & little used segment both ways so made the rides public for a bit to check, then private again once confirmed.

  The algorithm thing means I don't check folks training & give kudos so much now either.

  A rescue cat, left by his feral mum on the back step of Coventry Peace House, once re-housed elsewhere then re-offered, Theo joined us in 2012 and died suddenly this evening, aged 7.

  He had the sharpest claws in the North & a bite to match, also a loud purr and fondeness for chin tickles & belly rubs from the brave and foolhardy. A keen mouser, rarely a birder, he knew who the garden feeders were intended for.

  He always wanted someone to watch him eat, and enjoyed sleeping in boxes.

  RIP Theo. Xx
