Persian - female )
A Funny Thing Happened on the
way to My House ...
A nurse who worked with Paula had a boyfriend. The
boyfriend was walking, or rather weaving, his was home one
night after an evening at the pub. Somewhere along the route
Cuddles followed started following him. Oddly enough, she also
walks a bit strange – like she’s been on a horse all day. So
they made a perfect pair? Not quite, the boyfriend gave
Cuddles to the nurse. And, the nurse gave her to
Paula for safe keeping until someone came to the
surgery to report a lost Persian. Uh, Cat.
Well, four MONTHS later someone did come to
report a missing cat. Paula said: “I’ve got her!!!” In the
ensuing conversation the owner said: he had several cats;
Cuddles was always hiding from them; she hardly ever came out
from hiding; he was amazed to learn the she was playing with
Paula’s cats and DOGS; and finally: ‘I think she would be much
happier with you!’.
So, Cuddles came to live with the vet. She’s 16 this
year and doesn’t eat bread like Sophie. She prefers other
cats’ food. Even if it’s exactly the same as hers, she prefers
theirs. And, as much as she eats, she still only weighs in at
around 2 kilos.
Unfortunately, Cuddles has to be watched closely when
food is about – she would rather eat dog food than cat food.
Which isn’t good. Cats
can’t make certain amino acids needed for good health the way
humans and other animals can. They rely on meat to provide
these essential nutrients. If you feed a cat on
dog food, or feed it a vegetarian diet, they tend to go blind
and develop a lot of other health
problems.
