We had her in the most unexpected way. Some of you might know that I have a dog. Her name was Snappy. She passed away a month ago. I will be blogging about her next time. Those were the most painful week of my life.
Okay, so about this little cutie. I found her in the gutter last July 23. It was raining that morning and I decided to visit Snappy's grave a day after she died. When I was on my way back, I heard a very faint cry and when I looked down, there, I saw her shivering.
Without thinking, I scooped her and dried up. I even gave her heat pad so she can recover fast from the cold.
It was really my son, Hans who persuaded me to keep her. He was very consistent about getting a cat. He opted to have a cat than a dog. He's a bit scared of dogs, that's why. So when daddy agreed, we decide to keep her and named her COOKIE.
She just slept and drank a few drops of milk in her first three days with us. She's very weak and was unable to walk. First few steps were wobbly so I thought she was just weeks old. So we bottle-fed her until she regained her full strength.
Few weeks more and she was able to walk freely, roam around and playfully skipping and jumping.
This kitty has gone through a lot. Two days after I found her, I discovered that her tails was torn and slowly decomposing. That was the reason why she's smells bad. So, I cut it and cleansed the wound. After a week, the skin in her remaining tail peeled off leaving her an open wound that made her more uncomfortable. I looked for medicine to cure it and slowly it is drying up.
This poor thing is a fighter! She is trying to keep up with life and I am hoping that she'll grow healthy and a happy cat.
P.S. Her milk is COSI and she is now slowly nibbling Princess Cat Food :)
