Tonight we called the dieren ambulance.
A cat has been appearing in our front garden a few days ago. She was sitting on the bench looking soggy. But seemed to disappear after that.
A couple of days later, she was lying on the grass.
This evening when I went out to go to swimming the cat was on the grass again. In the same spot and looking decidedly less active.
I’m not a big pet or animal person but she wasn’t well. I fetched water and she drank deeply, using her paw in the water too. I stroked her back and felt her bones. This cat wasn’t doing well but she was calm.
We called the dieren ambulance. which us the animal ambulance her in Holland. Then I found her a little food but she didn’t eat much.
When the local hero arrived he scanned her but didn’t find a chip. As he put her in the travel cage, which she complied with, he commented that she was smelly.
I was reminded of that scene from Friends where phoebe sings about the smelly cat.
But all daft comedy shows aside, I hope the poor wee cat is okay.

Yes. If the cat can be treated they will do what they can and if it recovers it’ll be rehomed or if it needs a humane end that also happens too.

The cat has been on a drip. She was severely dehydrated with breathing problems. But she’s very sweet indeed. And we can call again tomorrow!

I hope the kitty is doing better, too. She looks a lot like my cat (the one in my avatar). It breaks my heart to see any animal suffer. Thank you for looking out for this poor kitty. 🙂
