Traumas of recent weeks!

I've been somewhat slack at keeping up my blog these last few weeks. Firstly a hideously debilitating round of the Norovirus struck us all down. Then, last Tuesday, Louie was diagnosed with a hole in his eyeball (ewww!) and taken into The Animal Health Trust hospital in Newmarket where he remains. He has now had three operations on his eye to try to repair the hole including a skin graft where they took some of his eyelid skin and grafted it across the hole. He had some more stitches yesterday. We haven't been able to visit Lou-boy as the hospital is afraid he would get too excited and pull the stitches out. It's very weird, being cat-less; our house feels empty and just not right. We are hoping to be able to bring him home sometime this weekend, and can't wait to give him lots of snuggling and treats. The AHT has given Lou-boy the very best care possible and we are eternally grateful to them for working so hard to save his eye. Here's a link to their website:
