£1 000 of Cracked Pepper
Two small housebound kittens – what could possibly go wrong? One could fall from the landing and not land on her feet – that’s what could happen – with no insurance! Was she pushed, Ginge? Now we have six weeks of trying to prevent a cat from being a cat, i.e jumping, scratching, licking, fighting etc. Worse than having a toddler – they’re more athletic!
Calling Ginge in at 8pm last night, found her on the patio prostrate, struggling to breathe and blood coming from her mouth. She’d been hit by a car. Romy managed to lay her in an old coat and hold her in the car as I drove to the vets. Mercifully, our beautiful little girl, on being put on the vet’s table, very quickly curled up in a ball and died very soon after. While Ginge had been in severe pain, she had bit Romy which caused us to go straight to the hospital and sit (and sober up) in A & E for 3 hours till 12:30am later that night!
A week later, sister Pepper is run over. I come home to find Jack burying her in the garden. Very sad moment. The only solace is that they will remain in our memories as a pair. Beautiful little cats.
