Some of you will know I help my daughter do a small part of her paper round in the afternoons, mainly because I need the exercise, and because I love seeing all my new kitty friends in the neighbourhood.
Yesterday I got to meet and pat Pickles, a lovely semi-feral tortie, Coby a cute tabby boy, who sadly had been run over as a kitten before her owner adopted him, and is slighty brain -damaged because he has seizures, but he is super friendly and cute, and then Ebu a precious Burmese boy who had gone missing several weeks ago, kept going back the the owner's old house.
My favourite kitty is a rather cute long haired tabby cat. she is so cute and runs to meet me miaowing all the way, I had never quite figured out which house she belongs to, but talking to one of my neighbours who lives close by, found out her name is Angel, and she is an old kitty suffering from kidney failure, my heart dropped hearing that, and I felt sad knowing she probably won't be around that much longer.
She does not look particularly well looked after, she is very thin, but then after reading about kidney problems, I realise it could be because of her condition, the owners obviously don't groom her well , she often has big lumps of matted fur, which they just hack off, they do own two dogs which look in great health , so I could be mis-judging them, however my neighbour thinks the same, and say's I am sure if someone offered to take her they would give her up.
Yes I do wish I was in a position to do so, but sadly I am not, I wanted to maybe take a little food with me on my run to give her, my neighbour say's she is alway's starving and often feeds her a bit, I am very cautious about what I should feed her, due to her kidney problems and welcome advice, also am I wrong to do this,? I would only feed her food that would help her kidney's, nothing to make her worse.
The owner told my neighbour she was on her way out, but that was some months ago, I sure hope they are doing the best for this precious girl that they can, they look like they can afford to, but I have my doubts, she is just so pretty and sweet, I will try and get pics sometimes soon.
