I got a phone call from the vet today about Murphy. His samples came back infection-free so the vet suspects he may be sensitive to some kind of food. Problem is, finding out what kind of food that is. So, she's going to send out a diet sheet and he needs to be on an elimination diet for three weeks at a time as we look into what causes him the problems. Poor guy, he loves to eat, which no doubt is part of the problem as he'll give anything a go.

Other than that, it's been a day. This morning the mortgage broker person phoned to take details and will get back to us when they've looked into things, so fingers crossed. We arranged for someone to go fix my In-Laws tumbler as theirs has gone off and neither of them were making any attempt to arrange a repair or replace. James also started to look into what would have to happen to get them into some kind of assisted living because their living situation remains horrible. Though of course, when told what needed to happen neither would agree to even start the first steps, which is, my MiL needs carers to help get her moving. But, the first move has been found out and told, now it's up to them.

I called in to Poundland as they have products that are Lush dupes. I know they won't be the same and most of the bath range had been sold already so the selection was low, but you can't beat the price so I'm giving them a go.

Then home as James had a really bad pain night last night. Which we both hope means the last stone is finally moving. He's at his test first thing tomorrow morning, but thankfully it's at the walk-in centre in town which means a journey all of five minutes at most, so we won't have to leave too early.

Aww poor kitty, I hope you find out what it is

*hugs*

Hope the rest goes well for him!

After the three weeks on the special food I can start to introduce other food, and will have to check to see if any of them give Murphy the runs. I can see it taking a while to find the culprit!

Oh dear. Sable will eat (practically) anything, too, so good luck with the elimination diet. I hope it gets you somewhere.

Best of luck to James.

The elimination diet is so strict. Murphy needs to be on the special food only, so the other two will be getting fed upstairs.

I hope you can sort out Murphy's diet without too much hassle!

I hope James is better real soon - this has dragged on for a while, it seems.

I feel sorry for Murphy being on a diet, but it needs to be done. His litter tray always looks like it's full of small cow pats when he's been in.

Yeah, James' health has been bad for ages now it seems :(

Wow, that sounds like a hectic day indeed! I hope you can figure out what works for Murphy, and I will cross my fingers and squeeze my thumbs for the mortgage. And I hope very much that James will get some relief soon.

Finally, though out of order, I hope you get to enjoy some luxurious baths!

It was a hectic day, I'll be pleased when this week is done to be honest.

Thank you for all your good thoughts, the bath I had last night was very satisfactory :D

I hope James is feeling better soon, and so is Murphy (keeping a determined cat on a restricted diet sounds like quite the challenge!)

Murphy loves to eat, so I just hope he likes this new food. We'll be picking it up tomorrow, and at nearly £30 a bag I really hope it works.

Lots of good luck getting Murphy to keep his diet and also in finding out what it is that causes his problems!

Keeping my fingers crossed about the mortgage!

Poundland!!! I always hear that in adelate's voice :-)

Poor James! Give him a big hug from me and tell him I'm sending all the good and healthy vibes I can find.

Murphy does okay on his diet now. But only because I feed the wet food to the other two upstairs. Which isn't ideal, but wet food plays havok with Murphy's stomach.
