So sorry to hear you have been smitten with Bronchitis Polly and my condolences on the loss of your cat.  As a great cat lover myself I know how you are feeling and when the last of my cats went (20 years old) I was so devastated that I vowed NO MORE.  So far I have resisted all the Cat Shelter adverts but of course if one turned up on my doorstep and needed a home........that would be a different matter!  Hope you will feel well enough to quietly enjoy the Christmas festivities. Thank you for your help in the past, Janet
