I am so happy I found this site

Essentially he sleeps here, but leaves to join her for breakfast and lunch - at tea time I collect him from her house. This night, about two months ago, I had kocked as usual, but there was no response. This isn't that unusual - sometimes Olive falls asleep, or forgets her hearing aid. I was just about to go home, planning to return later, when VERY faintly, I heard through the front door - 'Stanley........Stanley' So I peered through the letter-box to see Olive lying on the floor and masses of blood. Stanley was butting her with his head which is what was making her say his name. Anyway - spare key, ambulance etc. (she's fine, now, by the way, Thank heavens) - but the ambulance man said she was well into hypothermia and unless I had heard her when I did she wouldn't have survived. The poor thing had fallen and hit her head on the edge of a radiator. So that's my boy Stanley. He's black, about eight and looks exactly like a miniature panther. Take care, Patricia (Have to go and collect Stan - it's tea time!)
