A happy day!!!


Think it might take a fair bit to upset me today.
Have had a lovely day out with a few friends as I was a little emotional yesterday.
Had been on the phone for most of yesterday afternoon talking with a very distressed lady from Fraserburgh about her CRF cat which hadnt been eating since last friday. Any way to cut a long and upsetting story short, I talked and talked with the lady at length about CRF and encouraging her cat to start eating again. She beleived her cat was a gonner this week and was preparing herself to say goodbye.
The lady called me this afternoon to tell me the cat is now eating and seems so much better in herself that she went out and caught a bird. I cannt tell you how happy I am for them both.
The lady has invited me up this friday to meet her and her cat which I have accepted.

How kind of you to talk all that time with the distressed lady Elaine, I imagine she was grateful for your support.

It's good to hear her poor cat is eating again ......happiness all round!

Elaine, you are SUCH a lovely person! That is a good, kind and generous thing to do, and I think it's brilliant that you will meet the lady and cat you helped.

Re: A happy day!!!


Thankyou every one. It is a very nice feeling to think that I have helped lessen the pannick and devastation for an owner who's cat has been diagnosed CRF.
I am how ever really proud of the owner for helping swing this around for her cat. She obviously loves the cat to bits but she was also prepared to let her go if she wasnt going to show signs of improvement over the next few days.
I will ofcourse take my camera when I go to visit. This little lady cat is only 13, so still a mere baby, I hope she has many years still ahead of her. xxx

Oh and just for a little future reference, the tip that really helped this cat start eating again was to sprinkle catnip on her food. It wont work for all cats but dont let me forget this one should we be talking to other owners of CRF cats.
