I've just heard of a problem with a fuzzball, and purrs would be
appreciated.

My friend's mum's cat, a 14-year-old ginger tom, has been savaged by a
pair of working dogs - owned by a near neighbour of theirs. The dogs
escaped from a car, and attacked the cat, who'd been meatloafing in the
sunshine.

He's lost an eye, and apparently muscle control on one side of his face.
The vet says he must have put up a good fight, because he's also missing
four claws - presumably, embedded firmly into the dogs somewhere!

Economics aren't a problem. The cost, up front, was 300 pounds. The vet
estimates a total cost of around one thousand pounds. The dog owner's
insurers have already agreed to pay all costs. Ginger is up and about, and
purring - but here's hoping for a long-term recovery...
