She continues to do quite well, despite her diagnosed renal failure. She
now has a litter box both upstairs and downstairs and mainly uses them, but
sometimes forgets and wees on my woodpile at the side of the woodburner.

I think that any cat would be blessed to have an old age like KFC's.
Blessings to her and the ever devoted Boyfriend.

He is the epitome of devotion, isn't he? No matter what the reception,
he just keeps at his task of bringing doves to KFC. Maybe he's on a
spiritual quest.

The vet thought she had a touch of kitty alzheimers at her advanced age, so
I'm not too worried that she forgets where her box is sometimes when she
feels the urge.
She is very happy - hasn't a clue that weeing on my wood is something she
would never have dreamed of doing when she was younger. We don't mention
it. She is eating very well, I alternate her renal diet with a chicken,
rabbit or white fish based food as she won't eat the renal diet every day.
I hope to keep her going for a long time yet. She is pretty fine really,
but she is very old. I keep saying that she is 20 she is older than that

He's fairly near to the perfect cat already as far as I'm concerned.
Poor lad hasn't been able to catch one for her for at least two weeks.
There were some feathers from a small bird in the kitchen this morning,
that's the best he could do, and I suspect he ate it himself.
There are loads of collared doves still around but he obviously hasn't had a
chance to surprise one on the ground recently - they have a slow take-off.
It surprises him too, if he gets one. He rushes up to the house with it in
his mouth and you can almost hear him saying "OMG, OMG, HELP - I've got a
DOVE!!"
Fortunately Kitty helps him with it. ;-)

She had a difficult earlier life so it doesn't hurt me to make her very old
age as confortable as I can. She was a very useful mousing/ratting "almost
feral" cat around my chicken huts when she was younger, now it's my turn to
pay back.

Thanks, Fil. Realistically her life is now very limited. I don't know how
Boyfie will react if she goes to RB. She seems to give his life a purpose
like "I need to go out and hunt for Kitty." He never eats anything he
catches himself, he always brings it back for Kitty. He puts it on the rug
near the fire where she is sleeping on her beanbag. Wake up and smell the
birdie/

now probably.
She rarely ventures outside now. Just occasionally if the sun is out.
Boyfriend continues to bring her collared doves to eat when he can catch
them. They are her favourite food. If he manages to sneak into the house
with one he is fine to leave it there if Kitty is asleep. If she is awake
she will box his ears. It doesn't put him off at all - he continues to do
it and will take his punishment if necessary.
