Hi all,it's hard to believe that we have had no sightings of Buddy in the Hood Manor area of Warrington,even now the large shaved patch from his operation will still be showing so he will stand out.

BLACK CAT APPRECIATION DAY IS EVERY DAY

This special day was started to remind us of the value of black cats, to dispel prejudices, and to encourage people to give a new home to black cats left behind at animal shelters.

Myth and folklore

The superstitions surrounding these dark, elegant, velvety felines go back centuries and continues right up to the present day. Sadly, they often have a rather negative spin. Records show that black cats were linked with the occult as early as the 13th century, Black cats in particular were associated with Satan. This may help to explain why the superstition persists to this day that a black cat will bring you bad luck if it crosses your path.

Lower chances of adoption

Unfortunately, such quaint old superstitions have real-world consequences. In shelters, black cats have to wait much longer for adoption than felines of other colours!

Update, well Sky has still not been able to start his chemo and after a week has had to come off his steroids. The vets still are unable to identify what the inflammation mass on Sky’s lung is we have tested for so many things and bloods have been sent to London and the vets has had meetings with pathology, surgeons etc so now he is going back on Tuesday for bloods taken and they are being sent to Scotland for specialist tests. Unfortunately this means his chemotherapy for the mast tumor in his colon is put off again because they don’t know if it will make his lung worse.

Hi Guys, we just wanted to let you know that we are sorry we are unable to make anymore more cats in at the moment as you know we are full and sorry if we are slow answering messages etc. But we have had a very worrying time at the moment.

Well, it been a very difficult two weeks. Our beautiful boy Sky who has never had anything wrong with him and still thinks he is a kitten has been to hospital several times. He started on the Sunday evening straining to to go to the toilet, so to the vets on the Monday morning and they said he was constipated so he was given lactose three times a day . On Wednesday morning still had not been so back to the vets and after two enimas and still nothing he was sadated and helped manually he also had ultrasound and x-rays . The vet said he has a large unusual mass in his colon. Emergency appointment at the vet hospital, after biopsy, x-ray ultrasound more bloods etc . We had to wait over the weekend for results and he has a mast tumor.cancer. So in-house referral to oncology. For them to remove it They would need to cut his pelvis with a saw and they don’t feel it feasible because of where it is due to infection. So we were going to start chemotherapy on Friday, but they wanted to do a CT scan first, so Sky stayed overnight on Thursday, unfortunately the scan showed a large mass in his lung more biopsy and home for the weekend again with meds. Today we got a little bit of hopeful new in the results that the lung mass is not cancer but inflammation 5cm x 2cm and now they have to do stain tests and see what is going on and hopefully Sky will be able to start chemotherapy once the results are back. Please pray for our little one xx

Terrible news -- Buddy has escaped while his fosterer was transferring him to a carrier going over the top and straight through the cat flap hole.She has picked two traps up and we have been down walking around but like most of Warrington it is like a rabbit run of houses,tree areas and interlinking roads so it will be down to sharing the post and sharp eyes to spot him ( as in this weather most cats will shelter in the shade) Buddy escaped in Vose Close,Hood Manor area ----- He is is a big boy - Black short haired with a large shaven patch on his left side from his operation and front right leg. If you live around the area or have friends there PLEASE lookout or ask your friends to.
