Some of you will remember me mentioning him before.  He and his wife take in
cats and birds that find themselves in dire circumstances.  At least one of
you has read one of his books.
Could his cat Frannie have some purrs and any left over for himself?
He mailed me this:

Just a short note to get you up to date with what's been going on. Our
cat Frannie apparently got hit by a car Sunday night. She has a
fractured pelvis and a dislocated leg. Nothing can be done for the leg
until the pelvis heals. But the main concern now is getting her to eat
and drink water. We don't know if she has internal injuries or not. She
is a tough little cat, but she has serious injuries, and I'm quite
worried about her. I am not letting my emotions get away from me this
time. I'm trying to take a larger look at things and understand that
we're doing all we can for her, and it doesn't help matters for me to
drag myself around moping.

We have had very bad luck with our animals recently. I didn't tell you,
because it happened while you were in surgery, but we lost our cockatiel
Louie to a tumor not too long ago, and on Sunday our dove Jessie died from a
crop infection.

I can't see that we're doing anything wrong with any of these animals,
or that we are at fault for what has happened, but it is hard not to
feel responsible as their owners.

Please don't post that Frannie should have been kept inside.  She is
semi-feral and he only got her a few weeks ago. It would freak her out to be
inside and where Bob lives is normally quite safe.  She was trapped and was
going to be put down, so softy Bob took her.
He also has another semi-feral called Agnes and a couple more kitties who
hang around in the house, all rescued.
