Jack has just been to Millcroft vets in Cockermouth for a routine check-up. I felt a bit side-lined as he was obviously the celebrity visitor! Everyone there seems to know him and came out to see how he was getting on. I just wonder what on earth the other customers thought was going on. He seems to be known by everyone there and it is quite clear that they really care about him. We can't thank everyone at Millcroft enough for what they have done in caring for Jack. We couldn't have hoped for any nicer and more professional vets when we first moved over here. We will try to stop taking things in for them, but we have been feeding them biscuits and flap-jacks as a small way of saying 'thank you'!
Jack is fine. He has recovered remarkably, and I would say that he was pretty much as normal as he has ever been. He is now going to come off the pain relief/anti inflammatory drug, but I am sure that he will be OK. The mal-coordination down the right side seems to have abated as well.
Jack has also started going outside again. He was going stir-crazy, being stuck inside. We finally allowed him to go out under heavy supervision. The main worry was that he wouldn't be able to get out of trouble should he get into a situation, but his improvement meant that he could once again venture into the great outdoors. He has been out and about, and clearly loves it. I think that he has been out visiting all the neighbours, getting treats wherever he goes. He is finally happier and sleeping longer at night again.

I am pleased to hear Jack is so much better - I am the very proud owner of three kittens aged (nearly) eight months and - when I read the story in Summer 2010 "Cat" magazine, felt compelled to read the blog and contact you. What an appalling story; if anyone thinks these guns in the hands of anonymous idiots are a good idea, then Jack's story should go ao long way to proving it's not. Good luck with the campaign.
