Cat Blook Donor!!


Apologies for typo in heading . . . fingers faster than brain!

Here's a link to my CP article I've just had published on the BBC site - http://www.bbc.co.uk/berkshire/content/articles/2009/05/11/cats_blood_donor_feature.shtml -

It was interesting writing it because I had no idea that there was such a need. Also, research it meant I found an actual website dedicated to developing a database or cat blood donors!

What a lovely story.

I'm sure I have mentioned it before that my dogs both give blood, Rudy is on his 8th donation. Feline blood donation is just as important of course.

Interesting, and Dinah looks such a sweetie. My vet surgery had posters up few years ago looking for blood donors for dogs.

Thanks so much for posting that; very interesting. Lovely story about Dinah.

Don't you think she looks a bit like Kizzy?
