Happy International Cat Day!!!
😺😸❤️
I have been very quiet on my page, concentrating on my guests and my own cats - but I couldn’t not do a post today!
Do post a photograph (and an update of your fur babies), whether they have never been a guest, whether they are a future guest, a regular guest or a photograph in memory of a your furbaby who has sadly passed.
Here are my two, Rosie and Paddy both nearly 15 years young.
Rosie has had an operation since I last posted - she had 7 teeth removed and during the operation I received a phone call from the vet to ask if she could do a biopsy on her tongue as it was very swollen and they needed to check it out, with the possibility it was cancer. My heart sank.
It took a week for the results to come back, so it was a week of worry, as you can imagine. Thankfully it wasn’t cancer, but she has got a condition which causes severe inflammation of the tongue and it also reduces the blood flow to the tongue.
However, it has not stopped her appetite. She has always been very food driven and her lack of teeth and her sore tongue has not put her off! I am having to shave her fur as she is unable to groom and won’t let me brush her.
Paddy continues to behave like a five-year-old rather than a 15-year-old!! And as ever is always purring and being a wonderful concierge at the Cat Hotel! 🙈 🥰
It is hard when one is so much healthier than the other, but I am so incredibly grateful to have them both.
Our bond is a very deep one and I couldn’t love them more ❤️🥰😻😻
