And I
suppose I should include the cat called 'Dog'.....
In May 2005 when
we lived in Spain, we
were adopted by a stray, bony, starving cat, with sore neck,
ticks and bald ears. She lived here permanently, became well and happy and
her neck and ears were perfect. Although she had had a litter of kittens
somewhere when she came starving and mewing to the door, they must have
died: she had no milk in her to feed them. By the time she had found
accommodation with us, been fed for three days and the milk started to come,
the kittens would have been long dead.
Catface has now
gone to live with our friends Mick and June over by the Ermita in the
village - she loves it there and is well loved! |
