The owner of Raymond the famous ginger cat has given a new update on his progress after he was accidentally knocked down by a car at the end of last month.
And the post on his own Facebook page has attracted over 80 comments from well-wishers welcoming him home after his treatment.
But the owner says the famous roaming moggy isn't enjoying not being allowed out of a protective cage advised by the vets until his injuries heal.
The furry celebrity, 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.
Last 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, one from as far away as South Africa.
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 any donations would be welcome.
On Monday morning the owner posted that he was "comfortable and pain free," and said they were waiting to hear when he would have surgery, adding that when he did come home he would have to be kept in a cage for six weeks.
Yesterday evening, the owner took to his Facebook page again to post a picture of Raymond in a cage along with the message: "Not impressed with the cage situation."
The post has so far attracted over 80 comments welcoming him back home and wishing him a speedy recovery. Some of the read:
"I'm sorry about the cage situation but it's for your own good sweetie."
"Aww bless him he looks so sad not being able to do his usual rounds."
"Maybe he could have visitors from the shop keepers in Llan?? He'd love that I'm sure."
