Poor Cat

Kia, the loveable tubby fluff ball, got wolloped by a car yesterday... When we got back from work she was laying pegged out on the doorstep and i wondered why she wasn't rushing to get indoors. We soon figured it out when she couldn't stand up and her back end went limp...

After a quick clean up (it's hard for a cat to wipe their bum when they can't use their back legs!) and a check for any obvious cuts or breakages I got her down to the vets. Today she had her dislocated hip popped back in place and they've been having to squeeze her bladder as it appears to have been damaged with the impact/crush. They're hoping the bladder will mend itself but they're not 100% sure yet. Now, I don't usually claim to have any psychic abilities, I'm more of a large than a medium, but I foresee a rather large vets bill. Especially as I've just found out she needs to stay in for a few more days too!

I have a cunning plan though to get financial help for the vets bill: flog some useless crap on ebay with a great big sob story about Kia along with lovely cute pictures to go with it. Someone will bid, well, if someone pays a tenner for a 'lonely chewit' (I kid you not) then someone's gotta buy some junk to help out a loveable little(ish) cat!

I'll post links once I've decided what to sell; I may have to sell my rubber TomTom Go - a lovely little item given to me by TomTom themselves. Basically a stress ball in the shape of a TomTom Go. I wonder if there's a market for dead batteries with interesting history...? Any idea's would be appreciated!



Ta-ra for now
