Sad bitty news

I caught up with the lady who had the bitty with dragging legs who
seemed to be getting better

A few days after her report that bitty was moving her back legs she
woke up to find she Rosie (the bitty) was dragging her legs again and
this time, she wasn't eating and had wet herself

So she did what had to be done and Rosie is now running round the
other side of the Bridge

She couldn't believe the vet through..anyone heard anything like this?

She uses this vet because one of them is excellent with cats- a few
months ago one of her outdoor cats came home with a front leg slashed
to the bone in several places. The vet saved the leg rather than
amputating and afterwards admitted he'd wanted to prove he could do
microsurgery so he had tried (he did say if he realised he couldn't he
would have amputated) and saved the cats front leg (She has some scars
and is a bit stiff) he then charged her £200 because he said it had
been an experiment to see if he could do the surgery

Anyway on the dark day she took Rosie that vet wasn't on and she got
another vet who said well there were things they could try and she
said no..Rosie by now was covered in her own excrement

So the vet told her to go and they would put Rosie to sleep later and
she said she wanted to be there and this vet would not have it!!!

As she said you don't really think straight at the time- so in the
end, she got an agreement that Rosie would be taken over the Bridge
there and then but she wouldn't be there she would wait outside- the
vet said that she was so upset she might upset Rosie.

Then the vet wouldn't let her take Rosie and said it would cost £100
for a box to take Rosie home as she said "I have duties to my other
cats even like food and bills" and through she wanted to take Rosie
and bury her in the garden with her other cats she left her and felt
so bad about it

Then 3 days later she got a condolance card with a bill for £75. for
Rosie's cremation

And in the meantime. she spotted a cat she knows lives in the area and
was obviously pregnant so she took the cat back to the house only to
find she was what she calls "Another Xmas present" ie she was cute on
Decemenr 25th and now she's grown up and pregnant so they didn't want
her anymore

As she said "Oh well I just have some quiet places in the house" so
she went from 7 cats to 8 and now 12 as Momma cat has had 4 kittens

Still she reckoned she was up at the moment with resident 13..she has
managed to get the feral tom she thinks is responsible for most
kittens in the neighbourhood into her shed and he's going to the vet
on Tuesday to be parted with his bits and then she'll take him in

People like that deserve medals
