6 months with Lily-Whiskers (long)
Looking at my beautiful 6 month old tabby and white girl wrestling &
playing with HRFL Tiger while I type this, it seems hard to believe that she was such a pathetic little scrap who I thought would be making a rapid journey to Rainbow Bridge when she arrived in my household. I've copied my posts of the first few days last October. Lily has blossomed in a beautiful, precocious, confident, funny, quirky, cheeky little cat who's curiosity will lead to the loss of several of her 9 lives I don't doubt. I seems so hard to imagine life before Lily, she's so integrated into our lives. I see so much of Sir William in her personality, it's not funny. To the point that she does things that are so similar, that sometimes I think it's actually him in reincarnation. Posts below... 28th October 2005.. Folks, We need some major purrs here. I have on the way to me a CP emergency. The information I have so far, is that a Cats protection person discovered a badly beaten tabby bittie in a rubbish skip this afternoon. He/she has been so badly beaten that as soon as the swelling has gone down, it will need an operation to remove its eye. ( Apparently he/she also has a raging infection and is on antibiotics. Please purr and pray as hard as you can for this little one. Updates as I get them once the kitten arrives in chez Miles. Later that day.... Well, Bittie is at Chez Miles. From the sounds of it, she's (I'll call her a she, because that is what everyone thinks she is) had quite the adventure. ( She was found in a rubbish skip this morning, and had a badly burst/ulcerated eye and a lot of blood all over her. She was immediately taken to the vet, who has discharged her this afternoon to regroup for eye surgery on Monday or Tuesday. (Her left eye will be removed). Because the vet called the RSPCA because of the cruelty aspect, they became involved and came and collected the kitten from the vet. Cats Protection threw (quite understandably) a complete sh1t fit, and rang the RSPCA and demanded the kitten back. The RSPCA agreed because the paperwork said it belonged to CP and so the swap was done in a B&Q (Home Depot) carpark. Don't ask. She then found her way to me. A very dirty, scruffy, long haired tabby and white baby, who purrs as soon as you touch her. That's the bit that upset me the most. She presses into your hand as soon as you start scritching and asks for more and purrs hard. She also has very fine pair of lungs and a squeaky hoarse meow. I've nicknamed her Miss Whiskers, because she does have a very impressive set of whiskers. ) She goes in for an op to remove the eye on Monday or Tuesday. In the meantime, she's on antibiotics and lots of TLC. Just got back from the ER. 29th October 2005.... It seems that Miss Whiskers has an systemic infection from her ordeal. Quite apart from the damaged eye, something that I didn't mention on Friday was that when found, she also had quite badly burned paws which were all puffy, swolen, sore and red, a nasty gash at the base of her tail, and the very tip of her tail was cut off and bleeding - probably caused by something sharp. She had a dose of the runs over the vet table, however her chest sounds clear, she doesn't have a high temperature, and apart from problems breathing, she is OK. Vet thinks that she is just sore and in pain and now the pain killers have worn off from surgery, she's feeling it which is causing the other symptoms. She sees the vet again at 9.10am tomorrow morning. I may just be being over-anxious, but to be honest, she's been through so much I'd far rather over react than screw up. Please keep sending purrs that it's nothing too serious. She's really captured hearts in the Miles house. ---- Oh she's captured our hearts alright. ;o) Helen m -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG |

This post brought tears to my eyes. Reading your old posts brought the whole saga back and really put her recovery into perspective. It's just so wonderful to read about her now.

Reading those posts still makes me really sad and angry thinking about those sick people who could hurt her. I'm so happy she found you! Kathryn |

Today Eli was laying next to me on the floor when Lily started looking in the cat flap (to make sure Eli not around) so she could come in and have a bite to eat. Eli *always* attacks her. So I hid Eli Peace Talks | Pat | Cat anecdotes | 42 | November 4th 05 05:03 AM |
