Well it should be.
I picked Cassie up at 5pm - she was spayed, jabbed & chipped yesterday. (I took her elasticated collar off straight away!)
I got 3/4 of the way to the cattery when she let out the biggest meiow I have ever heard. For a second, I thought she had really bad breath - until the smell of poo assaulted me :sick: - At this time I was driving along a country road not much wider than a car. I was just about to open the window when I heard scrabbling. She had her head out of the carrier! (zip holdall type) and was managing to get out. I had to stop but a car came the other way so had to pull into the hedgerow. I wanted to put her back in to carrier but there was the biggest, smelliest poo ever in there and it was soaked with wee (my Tommy jumper!!) :evillaugh: - I realised there wasn't far to go and by now she was curled up on the floor on the passenger side :evillaugh:. I got to the cattery, pulled the jumper out (I was choking on the fumes at this stage) and put her back in the carrier. Anyway, we got her in her pen and she was fine & wanted a fuss :Luv:
I also met a mum and her 5, 4-week -old kittens. Gave mum (ziggy) a fuss. The kittens had their heads poking of the catflap but Sian said they hadn't gone right through yet and she would leave it to mum to do it - no sooner had she spoken and one came though ;D
I got to fuss all the kittens, who are eating wet food already!. Sian said when they were born, she had a hard time as mum was flinging them around like mice but she is fine now - one has 1/4 of her tail missing where mum was so rough at the beginning :'(
I forgot the camera :-[ - Sian said someone is interested in her so hopefully not a problem - I will go back otherwise.
btw - Cassie is a tortie!!!! :evillaugh:
Oh, and I got to draw the raffle from the spring fundraiser :wow:
-
Poor Cassie , she was probably either scared or couldnt wait any longer.
I know Kocka used to do things like this cos she hated the vets and its terrible being on a packed train going just one stop and smelling something and trying to pretend its not coming from the cat carrier that is standing in front of you on its trolley :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
-
Given the volume, I would say she hadn't been for 2 days or so :-:

eww :sick: I have two cats but I must say I do detest the smell of cat poo,thats why I use catsan :evillaugh: I can just about bare dog poo(not that I like it but you know what I mean) lol but cat poo literally makes me gag :sick:
She problably hadn't gone because of the operation etc but glad shes ok now :Luv:
Mark you ok or you still need that oxygen mask? :evillaugh:
-
I survived thanks - I recommend it for people on a diet :sick: :evillaugh:

Oh, poor you, Mark, poor Cassie. :evillaugh:
It couldn't have been fun at all! Sorry I missed the cattery visit, though. :(
-
Just to let you know Mark that done HC for Cassie today and she should be rehomed tomorrow.... Really quick in and out that one...
However, today we took in a 3month old kitten that was found in William Street Car park..... to young to be out on his own, now with Caroline. Hope that someone claims him asap though, as we are now officially FULL!
-
She's a beautiful girl with a lovely temperament - really happy for her ;D
Isn't Cassie's pen available? - or did you get another inmate?
Will the new owner deal with Cassie's stitches and 2nd jabs? - just wondered as I can do vet trips if needed.

I really enjoyed it :evillaugh: - she was no bother - had she got out and gone wild it might have been a different story :evillaugh:
btw - Did you go to Ron's today?
-
I had to postpone Ron's - unavoidable, I'm afraid. But I shall make it for sure early next week. ;)

So Far, I don't have any people that stop me having a life guests between Monday and Thursday next week (monday I'm busy - well Rosie the char is :evillaugh: )
Maybe, just maybe

Hi Mark
We make it an unofficially policy that anyone taking on a cat that needs second vac and stitches taken out, do and pay for that... as if they cannot afford to do the basic stuff then how come they want a cat.... Nope, it works quite well and reduces are vets bill and time and resources..... Had no complaints so far...
Of course we are flexiable, but generaly we don't mention that.....
Sharns pen will be free but this puss had to be picked up yesterday, and Cassie dosnt go until today.......
There are many more where she came from.....
