Ziggy the cat's 17-day journey from Israel to UK

Poor little kitty when through all this and now has to spend 6 months in
quarantine. Six months seems rather excessive to me.

Poor thing! I can't recall the last time I heard of a cat having rabies,
can you?

Quarantine isn't just about rabies. If they aren't prevented, they will
teach people to spell color and honor properly.

Poor baby! Six months seems a bit harsh... at least it could be six
months minus 17 days - he's been in solitary confinement for that long
already!

LOL! You mean like colour and honour? Having grown up around Scottish
grandparents I do that anyway. Same thing with flavour

6 months! Does that mean in a cage for 6 months? Poor guy.

This isn't possible, is it? A cat who went without food for 17 days
would be dead, and a cat who went without water for three would be dead.


I wonder how tight the container was, and how many mice there were on
the ship. At least, on the ship when it left port. ;-)

I thought the UK had discontinued the six-month quarantine
rule! (Or does that depend upon the country of origin, now?)

This isn't the first time this type of event has happened. The
speculation is that enough water is available from condensation inside a
steel container. As to food - who knows? Insects, perhaps?

There is a pet passport arrangement with certain countries, but not all.
All other cases require 6 mths quarantine to maintain our rabies-free
condition here. Quarantine conditions are spartan but not just a cage.
Usually there will be an indoor and outdoor run, and the kennel maids
will give them plenty of attention. He'll be OK and will certainly have
a queue of people waiting to adopt him at the end.
