Last night at 18:30 Jasper made that final journey to join Sooty in cat heaven. On Wednesday evening Sue and Andy had taken him to the vetenary surgery that we use as he was obviously not his usual self and had been so over the Christmas - New Year period. There he was diagnose with having a massive tumour on his liver and most likely attached to other organs, and it was deemed to be inoperable, particularly when taking his age of 11.5 years into account. The tumour was described as being the size of a large hens egg, very rough with multiple nodules off it. He must have carried it for some time but being a large cat he hid it from us.
The events of the last few days around Jasper have badly affected us all, he will be sadly missed and little Charlie now has a massive job to fill the void that Jasper has left in our hearts.

Dianne Abbott MP vs Stephen Lawrence
Comments like the Dianne Abbott made today (widely reported) just goes to illustrate that no matter how much "whites" are forced to accept those from other ethnic and race origins, it will not change the way many of those from "ethnic backgrounds" view us native caucasian whites.
Only yesterday the murderers of Stephen Lawrence were convicted. That boy's death changed the whole perception and acceptance of "coloured skin" in the UK yet today Ms Abbott reveals the darker side of someone who has probably benefitted more than most from that shift in attitudes. It's a shame she can't reflect a similar change in attitude to "whites".
