hungry cat tale....


I spoke to a lovely man this evening who's wife had phoned for a neutering voucher, she wasn't in so I had a chat with him. This cat had been hanging around for a few months & was quite thin when she first came, but seemed hungry. they started feeding her, then recently she became more & more hungry, she started breaking into houses through windows and only last week stole a lb of sausages from a neighbours kitchen. (not funny, but you can't help but chuckle) Her tummy is getting bigger & bigger & they asked someones advice, who thought maybe if she's hungry & got a big belly she had worms, so they wormed her, then her tummy still kept growing, the lovely polite man was quite concerned that the worm infestation must be quite bad.... I asked when the pot belly started, only in the last few weeks was his reply. I've arranged to pop and see this little girl who is friendly & very hungry. I'm hoping we can bring her into the branch to have her kittens .

He didn't think of the obvious then?!! It's good you'll take her in to have the kittens Smudgley.......at least the couple were worried and concerned for her..

What a pity Gwenny lives too far away...... I bet the perfect kitten will be there for her..

Sorry, but can't help but laugh at that story, Smudgley, the way you tell it! A whole pound of sausages!!! Poor thing, and bless that couple for taking care of her; hope she has lovely healthy "worms"!!! (seriously, worming that late in a pregnancy wouldn't harm the kittens, would it?)

aww, bless him and his wife! Hope kitty will be ok, but if you are taking her on Smudgley, I have no doubt she will be.

Aw I wish

Bless, that's such a nice story for hungry kitty! Nice to think that some people will look after them.

My grandparents have done so with many animals (and my grandfather doesn't especially like animals) hedgehogs, cats, dogs, even a stray fox cub last year. It was gorgeous! They fed him for weeks then eventually called a rescue center - they were calling him Fred. Turns out 'Fred' was in fact a 'Fredrika'. My grandmother cried for ages when they took her.

Re: hungry cat tale....


Aww, what a nice story Gwenny! A fox cub! But grown-up foxes eat peoples chickens if they can,,,ask Smudgley!!!...a shame that you're not nearer to her. Quite a few of the members who are close enough have rehomed some of her foster kittens and they are just little loves, so well socialized and so cute! Keep looking, there's a kitten out there somewhere looking for you......

Re: hungry cat tale....


Smudgley, have you given any thought to perhaps writing a book? You do have a way with words, and have posted so many funny/sad/inspiring stories here....not that you have that much spare time on your hands.... think about it! You could raise money for the branch....
