Looks like Yarrabyte has gone missing in action again. I think they may have a secret life or maybe a second job or something. Or just slept in.

Been freaking out over a new thing on Melbcat’s muzzle (hoping it was just a booger but looked like another precancerous lesion) however she’s now knocked the scab off same as with the first one.

I’d already been told to wait until the first starts growing back before she can be prescribed the cream to deal with it and will probably be told the same thing here, but I did get photos beforehand and will be monitoring.

She’s still eating well, climbing into visitors laps for cuddles, asking to go outside, throwing hands with uninvited cats and jumping up into her favourite chair by herself. She’s doing really well and enjoying her golden years.

Brb working out how to sacrifice young pop stars to extend her life and vitality.

You're looking after her beautifully and she is thriving on the attention. 😘

She’s loving it. She sleeps in the human bed and asks guests to hold her.

She’s absolutely beautiful and a cuddle bug. I hope she’ll be ok too.

Which pop star would you sacrifice first melba?
