I was going to do this next month on her two year anniversary, but we obviously weren't destined to make that. I Actually very nearly didn't get Pebbles, and probably wouldnt have if it hadn't been for the CC peeps - I was fostering for CP at the time, and had said that Snowy was really poorly and if they got an oldie in in the next few months to let me know. 2 hours after getting back from Snowy's final visit, I got a call from CP asking if I could take on a 10yo. After persuasion, I went and saw her, and we had actually seen them in the vets that morning, so I decided it was fate, even if she was 'too young' for me - plus pts was mentioned if a home couldn't be found. Couldnt take her straight away though, as the vet had said that she had to be FIV/FeLV tested before homing (turns out she was convinced even then there was something underlying with this cat). So she came here after that came back negative, and I had to rearrange so much stuff for her, she camped out in my bedroom so I had to move litter tray, food and water up here, which I had never done before, so it certainly was an experience. Last years health issues weren't too bad, just a weight battle, cystitis, blood tests cos the vet said she didn't look good, a dental, and a couple of 'minor' visits, mainly over what we thought was a lack of balance, but after this year, I know think it was that leg, and we knew there was an issue with it, but we put it down to the fact that the break had left that leg weak, dont think anyone would have guessed they would find a pin that was years old if that leg had been x-rayed!! This year was a different story though, and even the vet said on Mon that she wondered with every issue we faced if she could get through it. She was such a little fighter though, and I do think she was very lucky that I did take her on, I can't see many people paying for what she ended up costing, nor willing to go through so many traumas in such a short space of time. It does seem unfair that she was taken so young, but I have known the majority of the time i have had her that she wasn't going to be with me for years and years, she was just a chronically sickly cat - but they are the ones I Seem to get most of!! I will post some pics later, not sure I have the first one of her here at home.
