I'm sure he'd be delighted but a) we wouldn't now have enough time to make arrangements and b) G has just had a fit when I told him how much it costs to ship a cat to NZ (not that we know how much from here, but doubt it's much less than from the UK). So, it looks like Chunks will have to grin and bear it at the vet's. He must know what's coming, as he's eating us out of house and home at the moment.
