Another Purr Request
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... -- MatSav |

For what it's worth, Waffles has been minus an eye for several years now and it simply doesn't bother her one bit. She still runs about, hunts, jumps, climbs... Good vet care, TLC, time & patience can work wonders. |

Purrs for that poor baby, and for your friend's mum.

Tons of purrs for the poor boy to have a complete recovery. Hugs, CatNipped |

O 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... We'll definitely be sending purrs. |

Smudge sends her most heartfelt purrs for the boy, as this happened to her a few years ago. I'm pretty surprised that working dogs would even do that. They're usually trained to ignore stimuli such as cats. If I were the owner, I would be worried that these dogs aren't as attentive or reliable as they should be. Especially since the cat wasn't even doing something prey-like, such as running. I'm glad that the insurers of the dogs' owner is footing the bill, though! One less thing for the ginger boy's human to worry about. -- Joyce To email me, remove the triple-X from my user name. ^..^ |
