The newest member of the "ali-cat family" has been home for 8 days now. After finding her on the main road (we presume having been hit by a car) she has settled in & is running rings round us & driving our other two cats mad!!
She has had her tail amputated & still has no movement or feeling in her left back leg which, when she walks, is dragged behind her. She goes back to the vet in one month to have the pin removed & the final decision will be made if the leg will need to be amputated or not.
She is really adorable & loving - but like most kittens has the psycho, vicious streak as well - Mr Cat's hand is shredded!!
I had been wondering, waiting for news. Isn't she lovely, the first photo's great. Cats with a bobtail have a special look about them. I recently rescued a Siamese from Niort with a short tail and the only bit he had was where he had been injured, probably bitten.
I do hope all goes well for her left leg. Look forward to more photos Ali.

That's a very sweet little cat, though she does look very wonky in this picture. Well done for taking her in.

Learn to cope!! In the last day she has discovered how to .... scale the sofa, climb up & down the stairs & how to pounce out from under my coat on the coat stand & attach herself to our legs!! To say she's coming along in leaps & bounds would be the under-statement of the year!!
Unfortunately, she's doing all this on just three legs so we have had to start giving her more physio, on the bad leg, to try to encourage her to use it. All it's doing, so far, is encouraging her to sink her teeth, as far as possible, into our hands!!
