Latest update on Raymond the cat's condition

* Raymond is now at the vets and under treatment.

His owner has given a fresh update on the condition of Raymond, Llangollen's celebrity cat after he was knocked down and injured by a car on December 29.

The famous moggy, who has his own Facebook page - Raymond the Ginger Cat - is known and loved by scores of admirers for his wanderings around the town, nipping in and out of shops and hotels and even attending a church service on Christmas morning. 

On Sunday there was an outpouring of shock and disbelief after it was announced on Facebook that he had been hit by a car in the town centre while being chased by a dog. 

Scores of messages of sympathy for his family and best wishes for his speedy recovery began to be posted on social media. 

A Gofundme page was set up by a friend of the owner to help pay for his treatment at the vets and it was halted after donations hit the £4,000 mark in just a couple of days.

The owner revealed on Raymond's own Facebook page that his pelvis had been injured on the left side and the bill for treatment was likely to be between four and five thousand pounds, adding that they would pay although and donations would be welcome.

On Monday morning the owner posted that he was "comfortable and pain free," and they were waiting to hear when he would have surgery. 

At around 8pm this evening (Tuesday) there was a further update in which the owner said: "Hi all, a little update on Raymond - he is still in Llangollen vets due to it being new year. We will have another update in the morning but last time

"We spoke to the vet, Raymond hasn’t wee’d which was a bit worrying but could be down to stress.

"Will let you all know more tomorrow regarding surgery. When he does come home he will have to be kept in a cage for 6 weeks."
