Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / November 2004Prayers needed for a little stray
Last night I lost my heart. To a tiny half-starved brown tabby stray cat. He came to me via a rescue group in Cardiff who had begged me to look after him as a favor. The person dropping him off with me said that he had been caught on a notorious farm scavenging and existence in a feral colony there. He had walked up to the trapper and meowed, and had been caught. He is skin and bones. But that's not the story. He spent yesterday in the vet, alledgedly being neutered. Last night, he was dropped off to me, with the imortal words "he smells of wee a bit, and is wet and dirty and he needs a bath". I decided to leave him quietly, and fed him, leaving him for the night. This morning, he had peed in his bed - badly. I thought that he just had litter box issues, and then I examined him. His tail is so badly damaged, it's paralysed. He can't move it or feel anything. He can't control his bladder - he's permanently wet. It's not a new injury. It is *SO* not a new injury. I took him back to the vet this evening and saw the senior partner, who is going to x-ray his spine and check him out. I have no confidence, but my hands are tied at the moment with this vets staff. You might say that I wasn't diplomatic with the way I pointed out that her staff should have noticed what was going on yesterday. Please pray hard and send whatever purrs you can that this little chap will be OK. He doesn't even have a proper name yet, even though his forever home is lined up with me, HRFL Tiger and Pandora if he makes it through this. I can't believe I'm so utterly gutted over the fate of a scraggy stray with no name, who I've only known for 12 hours. Please send whatever well wishes you can. -- > Last night I lost my heart.

I persuaded her not to give up, but she agonised about it. The cat is perfectly well now, can control his bladder but has no tail, so what? Vino doesn't have a tail either. He is *such* a love bug. I could stroke him and stroke him when he's so proud of his bananas. Tweed Purrs and prayers that this little fella makes it though this set back and makes a full recovery.

Shamrock had some sort of injury before I got him that probably broke his tail at the base. His tail is kinked right where it meets the top of his bottom, and the vet noticed that he has a long scar right where it kinks. Poor kitty. Some injuries are worse than others, and none of these sweet animals deserve any of them. SignatureCheryl ah, Helen. You have a good soul. We will purr and pray that the little thing survives in good form. He has found a forever home with you.

Poor baby! I hope the vets can do something for him. Losing his tail wouldn't be so horrible, but it would be really difficult for everyone if he can't control his bladder.

I've posted on the group before about a cat belonging to a work colleague who dragged himself home with a paralysed tail one day. He'd been hit and dragged by a car, apparently the vet could tell that because his claws were scuffed from trying to hang on to the road. He could not, at first, empty his bladder at all. He had to be taken to vet to get relief, twice a day. Bladder problems seem to be connected to tail paralysis. After a few weeks, his bladder worked, but he had no control of it. He wee'd everywhere. They questioned whether he had a quality of life, and if they should keep him. Fortunately they did, and although he had to have his tail amputated, piddle-wise he made a complete recovery. It did, however, take several months. Hope this give you hope for Tiny Tim. Tweed Many purrs and prayers for the dear little one. You will be surprised at what just a little love can get moving, and maybe you'll do it for this baby. Blessed be, Baha > Last night I lost my heart. To a tiny half-starved brown tabby stray > cat.
