Love to all
Apricot
Dear Apricot,
You are not the first paraplegic cat I have met. I met Thomas, an elderly black and white cat, who was incontinent after a car accident and was handed into Cats Protection. He found an private adult care home - though it took a long time. Two very special human carers were needed.
He didn't wear a nappy. His owners learned how to manually express his urine twice a day (the vet showed them how) and he lived in a kitchen with a laminate floor and a catflap to the garden. Yes, they had to keep the tiles clean with bacterial wipes and, yes, they put out clean bedding out for him each day. They used the sort of bedding where liquid soaks through, so that it doesn't stay in contact with the skin.
Thomas lived happily for another few years before dying of old age. Here is his photo on the right. There are some lovely human beings around who make very good carers.
Yours
George.
Heartbreaking stories! And how many more are out there that we don't know about? Indeed, compassion, kindness and generosity have no borders and shouldn't have. I see a ray of hope & light when reading or hearing about happy ending stories like Apricot's or Thomas'. I regain my hope in humanity!

Beautiful cats and beautiful stories! Beautiful painting too! Kudos & thanks to all the compassionate people who make room into their big hearts to take in cats with special needs (or any other sentient being with special needs).

Wonderful stories in which the hope shines! People needs to be educated about these matters so more lives could be saved. Vet doctors needs to be more supportive and generous (I'm referring to the ones with exorbitant fees). I visited the link and read about the Director of the shelter who lost her life in a fire to save the cats. God bless ALL.
