My little Yoda died this afternoon, she had a fit and went into shock. I took her to the vet and he put her to sleep. He said that the olive farmers in this region are using new weed killers and a lot of animals have been affected.... I miss her so much already. Yoda was offered to me at our builders yard at the age of 4 weeks, she had fallen off the roof and was surviving ubder a piece of plastic, I took her home and thought I would give her a great last night, put her to sleep in the kitchen with a hot water bottle and didn't think she would survive the night. In the morning she was like a manic fur ball bouncing around and stayed that way for the next three years..I think her legs had been broken as she had the craziest walk and galloped everywhere...you could hear her a mile away, she was the ugliest cat around. At that time we lived in a rented apartment and she had only a small balcony to play on, we then moved to our place on a 5 acre olive grove and she literally went wild running up the olive trees, chasing around and spent most days lazing around the pool. When we had guests she would be fussed and petted...I guess she had an ideal life for a cat, her friend chockie box (our other cat, who was resuced from a dustbin ..three kittens had been left in the bin in a shoe box) will miss her I know.
thanks for all the support
