Meanwhile the cat which let's face it, cats are easy to care for....all they ask is food, water, and a little attention.

The fact she wasn't getting that just wasn't on. So already i have noticed a change in her behaviour. The purring sound is just, well for a cat owner that's all you want to hear.

I shouldn't have to worry or wonder if my cat (was my mums cat until she passed) has been fed. But that's exactly what was happening. Not good enough and unacceptable.

My dad won't change his ways so he can drink himself into whatever state he wants now. He's always been a heavy drinker even before mum's passing so it's not like that's what triggered it or an excuse for any if it. So.
