... the cellar has flooded!

It's probably coming from next door, who are flooded too and doing their best to sort it out, and it's probably covered by insurance once we figure out whose insurance to claim from. So it could be worse. But it's no fun at all :(

Fruitcake is eating intermittedly especially if I go pester her and drag her into human company. She still gives every sign of hating to be around us, but it does seem to lead to her eating more and moving around the house more than she does left to herself. Dr Monkey diagnoses cat depression (on top of the thyroid and whatever other physical problems she has).

Oh man, it's one thing after another, isn't it? So sorry for the flooded cellar! Hope that gets sorted really quickly.

Poor Fruitcake. It sounds to me like Dr. Monkey is correct about depression.

Thanks. Now I'm off to bother my glum cat :)

Our neighbour reckons it's more likely to be his pipes, which are old, made of lead and lost under the floorboars, so we agree with him. He's calling a plumber tomorrow. Meanwhile, we've rescued everything that matters and brought it upstairs. Cellar is damp at the best of times so, while it's full of junk, at least it's mostly waterproof junk.
