Injured Cat

[lindsay ormerod]

My beloved Eric ( fat, beige Persian, acquired from Glasgow Guy) has been really poorly this week, due to eating some sweet pea pods I think. He is now nearly back to normal, after being nursed by me and Kels, just using common sense really. It was obviously something he had eaten so tried to get fluids down him and find some food he could keep down. Watered down milk and tuna have done the trick, but we thought he was a goner on Wed night.
I agree with contacting the RSPCA if nothing has been done by owner, and I have also had to pay vets in instalments before now.
( for the record it's not just "lazy people" that have cats, some of us cat owners actually hold down full time jobs and have a bit of empathy for our pets who give back the love they receive tenfold.)

Glad to hear my namesake is fine and dandy ... check out my avatar to see my beer-swilling 21 year old Sadie ... she also likes curry, the hotter the better, and vodka and orange ...
