Three legs are better than two

 

Tanni the kitten with only 3 legs

One of the obvious ways we are superior to humans is that we have four legs. If we lose a leg, we still have three. If humans lose a leg, they only have one. And it is difficult to function on only one leg.

The only way that humans manage is with an artificial leg. There are difficulties with soreness fixing these to a stump. And humans have to re-learn how to walk with them. 

It's simple for us cats, if we are unlucky enough to be in a traffic accident. Good vets simply take off a crushed leg. It's no good leaving part of it that would just sort of wriggle around not touching the earth.

This is what happened to Tanni the kitten. Within 24 hours of  surgery she was walking round the vet's surgery. You can read more about Tanni's story at https://celiahaddoncatexpert.substack.com/  

She was living proof that it is better to be born a cat, than to be born a human.

We are just more athletic, more adaptable, less whining and in every way have better bodies than humans!

 

I want to be a national symbol

What is more beautiful than a British cat, like me. With the wide British face and beautiful soft fur. Purrlease, believe me, I would make a great modern symbol for the UK.

 So why not....

The Siamese, with its slanty face and thin body (not well muscled like me) has become a national symbol for Thailand. It's official recognition from the Government.

I mean just compare the two of us.

She is a nice colour, I admit. But her face is triangular without proper cheeks and her nose is sort of pointed. Unlike the symmetry of my nose in the slightly flat face.

So, Prime Minister Starmer, when are you going to recognise the British cat, a pedigree breed already popular with cat owners.

We are British already. Now we want to be officially recognised as true Brits.  

For once, Mr Starmer, do something that will make our humans cheer for you. 

 

Help! Keith needs a home in Oxfordshire

 

Why can't some cats get a forever home? Sometimes it's because they are old, or scruffy, or just the wrong colour and stupid humans want a particular colour

But why is Keith still homeless? 

He's under two years old. He's handsome though small. He's playful. He uses the litter tray excellently. He's clever - he can open doors. And he's affectionate.

True, he does nip his human if he is ignored. And he hates all over cats and will attack them. So he needs a home without any other cats.

Today he is very, very bored and frustrated. He is waiting for adoption in a spare room. With nothing much to do.

He is taken out for half an hour's play time twice a day. He is warm and well fed. 

If you happen to know a sensible adult human (some of them definitely aren't) that lives in Oxfordshire, please let them know about Keith.

They can adopt him from www.sunshinecatrescue.org.uk
