Very often, people tell me they “dare not” read the stories in my blog because they don’t want to see the frightening photos or read the sad stories. I tell them they cannot simply assume that just because we provide medical care for animals, it has to contain frightening stories and sad stories. And I think they must have confused us with other websites, too, because we do focus positive stories quite often, don’t we?
Well, here’s one, from Bernice Chee:
I read about Vixey and how you said she is like Yoda. God Bless her furry little soul ๐ What a coincidence that i have a black cat as well, and when he was growing up, we named him Yoda. He did look like Yoda though, have a look at the pics HAHA. Then as he got bigger, he had diarrhoeaa few times (we rescued him from the side of the road when he was about 2 days old, and bottle fed him with kitten milk, but without mom’s milk, his immune system and digestive system was quite weak, so he had a few bouts of diarrhoea). Somehow after that, we just kept calling him “Smelly butt butt”….And now he’s Buttness. ๐ All of 2 years old.
The other 2 cats (in the 3cats pic) was also rescued from a drain and road. The middle one used to be called Smorley Pants, but we dropped the small and just call him Pants now (cos he was so small when we rescued him, but is now HUGE). He’s 1 this month, and we think he’s got Maine Coon gene. The only girl in the house is Creamygal, and she’s a real bully and moody cat. The last pic is Whisper a pure bred American Curl adopted from our vet because the owner said he has no more use for him as a stud ๐ How sad is that. He’s about 10/11 years old, and is a slow old man. We just want to give him a peaceful retirement and some wonderful years of just being able to be a free cat instead of all those years of working as a stud cat and living in a cage.
That’s my family of 4 kids ๐
Cheers,
Bern

Bernice! Does the harness work? U wear them on your cats to bring them on walks? I'd love to get for my cats … how do I choose one?
LOL! You say Bernice is migrating, and I look at the photo of the 3 cats sitting atop the car in their harnesses. Has she clipped them there for the trip? That'll be a sight as she's driving down the highway! ๐ Srsly,apart from the backyard breeder who dumped Whisper, this is indeed a happy story. Thanks for posting!
I've tried using harnesses for my 2 kitties like the ones you see in the pic. Verdict: It works only for one cat but not the other although the harnesses were identical. Reason: the one that worked is the cat with more muscles and bigger built. Therefore the straps go round the cat securely. The other cat is smaller-sized and has more flexible shoulder joints. So no matter how I try to fix the strap tighter, she's able to slip her legs out one by one. Soon you'll find yourself holding on to the harness minus the cat.
I've tried the harness on my most muscular cat, Bunny. He was so angry he refused to move! And when I tried it on Cow, he freaked out totally and starting flipping like a fish out of water. It was so scary, I quickly took it off.
Bunny is built like a tank and so he acts like one. Cow likes the fish pose, and so he also acts like one. :p
Kah Yein … hahahaha … you made me burst out laughing in the office … Bunny = tank, Cow = fish ๐
I had plan to get one first and try them out. They may not like it but I guess, need to try and get them used to it – I guess, each time you put harness, you go out of the house – hence they will see harness = go out see birds.
wish me luck!
