Lodger K has just moved out and was planning to leave her cat (Inca) with me for a few months while they lived in bf's tinyflat and looked for a house with a garden and catflap - but instead K rehomed her, a friend of a friend wanted a cat, Inca suited, I went to London on Saturday all unsuspecting and came back to no cat. Cat is happy in new place, it's big with lots of fabulous nooks and a mezzanine level for Advanced Supervising. But I was sad to see her go with no goodbye.

New lodger O is not a big cat fan, so I'll be cat-free for a while. And available for holiday feeding for cats of friends...
