Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / October 2005Bittie update
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. :o( 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. :o) 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. Helen M Poor little bittie...thank the deities above for people like you who have warm hands and hearts. > Well, Bittie is at Chez Miles.

I hope all goes well with the surgery and she can start her new life where she will get all the love she deserves. Annie Miss Whiskers had such a horrible start at life, but now she could not be in better hands. Thank you so much for taking such loving care of her, Helen.

When I got her, Rebecca was missing an eye and a couple of teeth, and had a badly injured shoulder. It took her quite a while to get used to being here, but now she, too, is very affectionate. Good luck with the little one, and I hope the surgery goes well. Sandy > Well, Bittie is at Chez Miles.

I'm glad she isn't too terrified to trust you to be her new meowmie. 6-7 weeks...I wonder if, at that age, she'll realize you're not her /natural/ meowmie... At any rate, continued purrs. --Fil >What a sweetheart.

The thing that amazes me the most is that, at 6-7 weeks, she's probably known nothing but pain and misery since birgh, and yet she's still a purring, loving bitty. You gotta admire her spirit. She's going to be a montrously special cat. Jane - owned and operated by Princess Rita >> Purrs for her to be ok.

In the > meantime, she's on antibiotics and lots of TLC. I'm sure she will do fine. But I do sympathize. I'm virtually blind in one eye so I have almost no depth perception. I would think that could be a big problem for a cat. It sure kept me from pilot training. We are glad she is purring, and are sending more purrs from rainy California.

Apart from the eye, I've no doubt that now she will fully recover. Did you see the item on 'Newsnight' about the RSPCA? I've been concerned before about their powers and how easily they are abused.

Bless you, Helen, for taking care of her, and purrs that she will be okay and find a forever home to be dearly loved in for the rest of her life.

NOBODY should have to go through that at any age, but especially not as a six week old baby! The poor little thing, she must have been terrified! But her luck has certainly turned for the better to be in your hands now, Helen. Give her lots of love from us all. Panther, Francesca and Nina are all on purr patrol.

Which CP are you at? I would like to volunteer at one, do you know who I should contact - every time I try to volunteer with someone it seems they're only looking for fundraisers, which I'm not very good at! I would like to get some hands on experience so that when I get to move to Greece (and hopefully help out with cats there) I'll have some experience, so any advice gratefully accepted.
