Olly has been a bad boy today,he climbed 3 stairs and when I carefully lifted him down he spotted some chicken I had on a worktop as a treat, the little terror somehow stood on his hind legs trying to reach said chicken.During his long periods of cage rest he has been keeping himself amused with body building techniques (eating) and singing. This little man has an enormous character hidden within his scrawny frame.

Oh dear: another feisty little one that I have fallen in love with

Olly is continuing to make progress and manages several steps at a time now, his back leg seems to be stronger and rarely folds in under him He discovered chicken yesterday and Aunty Claire cuddles today and is one highly delighted boy who thinks all his dreams have come true

Which, of course, they have

And at least he is with people who can see that he is a boy!

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #32 on:** February 03, 2008, 01:07:19 AM »

So pleased he is improving with his walking

aww, wonderful to hear that 'he' is doing well. We took in 11mo brother and sister (unneutered) a few weeks ago, and i did express surprise at no kittens - turns out they were sisters, can't believe she had had them for 8/9months and not noticed!!

ChrisB · « **Reply #30 on:** February 02, 2008, 20:44:07 PM »

So pleased Olly is doing well, sending lots of strokes to him and, yes, hard to believe nobody else realised he was a boy.

Oops, someone needs a new name!!

Already rectified,the H has been dropped and Holly has become Olly

Think his new medication and being in a home environment is doing the world of good, he has managed several steps today.

I had a Holly, who was once a Noel, so maybe to balance the cosmos...

Sending healing vibes...

My goodness Teresa, these were vets ?

Mind you when I first took Kocka to the vet they said Kocka was a girl, when she went back next time they said she was a boy! I gave up and kept her as a girl and she was also registeed with insurance as a girkl.

Many years later, and my vet always called her a she at my request, I saw some aussie vet when she was really ill and he came out with her and to my horror called her poor little chap! Despite telling him that she was always known as a she, he shut his ears

I am sure Holly knows exactly what identy he/she wants and of course Holly can be a male or female name

Dawn F · « **Reply #23 on:** January 30, 2008, 16:57:23 PM »

oooh - poor old Holly, the indignity! Hope this doesn't set back his recovery!!

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #22 on:** January 30, 2008, 16:55:33 PM »

Forgot to mention when I brought Holly home I thought I had gone mad when I saw her back end so I got the vet to take a look this morning; it seems the beautiful girl is indeed a very handsome Boy.

I am at a loss as to how he could be shaved from waist downwards,undergo major surgery and spend over 3 weeks hospitalisation without anyone noticing.

Bazsmum · « **Reply #21 on:** January 30, 2008, 12:06:30 PM »

Yayy! That's good news.....atleast now you know that she is on the road to recovery!

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #20 on:** January 30, 2008, 11:56:35 AM »

Holly saw the vet this morning and her problems stem from nerve damage and thankfully all is progressing normally, vet says probably be another 5 weeks before we see real improvement.She has some extra medication and will go back next week for a check up.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #19 on:** January 30, 2008, 00:16:52 AM »

Hope all goes well

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #18 on:** January 29, 2008, 20:04:12 PM »

Will be taking Holly to meet my vet tomorrow; am concerned about the muscle wastage and the fact her leg keeps folding in under her; so I want to make sure that everything is as it should be.
She is enjoying her food and loves being stroked as she lies spread out on her posh new vet bed.

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #17 on:** January 29, 2008, 19:31:08 PM »

Aww, fingers crossed for her recovery.

Ralph's mum (angie) · « **Reply #16 on:** January 29, 2008, 19:11:08 PM »

she is lovely, glad she thinks you will do

well done T

Bazsmum · « **Reply #15 on:** January 29, 2008, 18:57:30 PM »

So glad this lovely girl is in your paws T....she can hopefully let her past go now!

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #14 on:** January 29, 2008, 17:45:02 PM »

I am so pleased she decided that you would do

Christine (Blip) · « **Reply #13 on:** January 29, 2008, 17:43:26 PM »

Isn't Holly lovely? I'm glad she has been safely delivered to Paws Inn now.

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #12 on:** January 28, 2008, 22:26:52 PM »

So glad you've rescued her, look forward to hearing her progress and eventually her new forever home

ChrisB · « **Reply #11 on:** January 28, 2008, 21:50:35 PM »

That is lovely Teresa - Holly is in the best possible place now - sending lots of cuddles to a beautiful girl.

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #10 on:** January 28, 2008, 21:13:48 PM »

I hadn`t met Holly until today and the vet nurse took us into a huge consulting room and brought Holly in on a fleecey blanket which she placed on the floor. I sat on the floor to introduce myself and Holly refused to attempt to walk. Some 10 minutes later after she had enjoyed a jolly good fuss she spotted the cat carrier behind me,amazingly she stood up walked over to the carrier and attempted to get herself in; their wasnt a dry eye in the room it was as if Holly had said you`ll do .
She`s got a long way to go but she will get there I am certain.

Dawn F the complications were of the unsavoury human variety.

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #9 on:** January 28, 2008, 20:56:55 PM »

Great news she's recovering well T.

caledonia · « **Reply #8 on:** January 28, 2008, 20:11:16 PM »

My goodness how thick her fur must be and so pleased she is safe with you Teresa. Lots of strokes to the brave little girl

Mark · « **Reply #4 on:** January 28, 2008, 16:03:15 PM »

Gorgeous brave girl

ClaireR · « **Reply #3 on:** January 28, 2008, 16:01:20 PM »

What a beautiful girl. I hope the journey home to Paws Inn was ok for you all. I am so glad she is now with you and can begin her road to recovery.

Sending her cuddles for now, but will look forward to getting some from her at the weekend!!!

She looks very comfy on her lovely fluffy bed!

Dawn F · « **Reply #2 on:** January 28, 2008, 15:38:32 PM »

I thought she had been reclaimed by her owner or is that part of the complication?? Anyway glad she is in your care and getting better

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #1 on:** January 28, 2008, 15:37:31 PM »

Sorry I havent been able to update on this little one before now, things were not as straightforward as they first appeared and in order to protect Holly and do things legally I had to keep quiet.

Holly had a badly fractured pelvis that needed a Sacral Illiac pin fitting, she has struggled to put weight on her leg and has a little muscle wastage.
The Good News is that she has now been discharged from the vets and is currently settling in here, though she will need further surgery at a later date.
This girl owes her life to Purrs and I`m sure she would like to send you all lots of furry headbutts.
