Friday my neighbour down the street from me was telling me about this poor Persian cat that was in the laneway last Wednesday and was so matted and dirty. She brought it into the house to see if she could cut some of the mats out, but the cat wasn't dealing with it too well and when her father got home, he told her, "OUT WITH THE CAT." I told her to phone me if she saw the cat again. I got the call Saturday. The hubby and I went down to see him/her. This poor thing has to be in pain with the amount of mats that are right down to the skin. I turned to the hubby, knowing that Persian's are his passion, and asked him if we could do something for the poor cat. He said, "Bring him home." (Which I knew he would.)
I know, I know, I said that I was taking a break from rescuing, but I just couldn't turn my back on this poor cat. I don't know if it's because he is in pain, but you can't even touch his back without him hissing. Apart from that, you can pet him and he/she just purrs and purrs and purrs.
Fortunately I was able to get an appointment tomorrow with the groomers.
I just couldn't bring him to the vets in that condition and boy does he smell from the poop on his butt. I tried to clean it myself, but he/she wanted nothing to do with it.
Here is a picture that I was finally able to get of him because since Saturday, he/she was under my bed. He/she finally came out tonight from under it but decided to go into the cat carrier.
What do you think people, is it a Persian or a Himalayan???
