poor little peanut! I suppose at least it wasn't her leg that got caught

Peanut managed to remove her bandage and is now running around like a demented hooligan again!

We are off to the vets at 9am tomoorow and tail looks clean but she has sadly lost over a third and now looks like a semi stumpy but is still our little physco!

Glad to hear Peanut is recovering well. You haven't found any snares, I take it?

Peanut was in for her tail inspecton this morning and was extremely well behaved when Mr Nice vet took off her bandage and had a look and rebandaged - noone had any scars and she was just happy to be home with her new antibiotic jab and a painkiller she is now running around like nothing is wrong

We are back on Wednesday morning for another checkup

What a rotten week Liz

and poor little peanut

Hope she recovers well and gains back her confidence quickly. Just hate to think about her being caught like that. Really awful.

What terible goings on and lots of love to little Peanut

Liz · « **Reply #12 on:** May 07, 2009, 14:25:30 PM »

Just a quick update on the crew - sailor will be home next Monday evening, Phoenix is still fluffy and smells lovely and is starting to love his Mummy again

Poor Peanut is very jumpy and is living under the chair in the diningroom unless on my knee, she is only a wee soul and is usually outgoing and a bit of a physco so this quiet little soul is totally out of charactor

Thanks for all your wishes, no snares found but all the cats are having a couple of days in and so far are being quite well behaved and are are still in their usual places and my god the grit boxes are full never usually see over half the doings!

I hope you can find out what is going on Liz, especially the snares, horrible things

Blimey what a week you're having. I hope the Police find the traps.

Your vets sound wonderful though

Crikey, sending lots of headbutts and best wishes to you and the clan, and truly hope the police can get to the bottom of the oil and snare issues

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #8 on:** May 07, 2009, 07:33:33 AM »

Fingers crossed the source can be found and this is the end of your bad luck

Oh how awful for the cats and yourself, I do hope they manage to get to the bottom of this and catch the

I hope they catch and sort out the b*****d who put down snares. All the best to all of you. It all sounds very overwhelming at present, but so glad you sound like you have great vets (if not the farmer neighbour

).

bonnielass · « **Reply #5 on:** May 06, 2009, 21:48:34 PM »

Oh dear you are having a bad time of it, i do hope Phoenix and Peanut are soon feeling better and that you can sort the other problems out as well

Christine (Blip) · « **Reply #4 on:** May 06, 2009, 20:29:05 PM »

Hmmm...

Hope you - and the various authorities - can get to the bottom of all this, Liz, and sort it out.

Liz · « **Reply #3 on:** May 06, 2009, 20:07:47 PM »

I can't stress how wonderful our vets have been and all the treatment and care Sailor had, Phoenix's wash and blow dry and Peanuts operation came to under £150.00

Janeyk · « **Reply #2 on:** May 06, 2009, 20:02:58 PM »

Blimey! hope you can sort things out Liz

a hug for you all

We have had quite a traumatic time this week with the loss of Sailor on Monday, then Tuesday afternoon had to rush Phoenix one of our longhaired ginger's to the vet he came home covered in black oil, he was lightly sedated and then shampooed and combed out by our marvelous vets - still looking for the source of the oil as non of the neighbours have any lying around - they all have cats and dogs so have informed the local council as we are in a protection area for red Squirrels and hopefully they will find the source

Today our darling Peanut has 3 inches amputated from her tail after being caught in an illegal snare - she is now home and bandaged up but is sleeping in a cat box as she is unsteady on her feet so we will let her sleep for a couple more hours - again our wonderful vets operated immediately and have done a marvellous job

The nice Policeman is interested in the snares so is coming out tomorrow with some Police cadets to look around the woods with some police dogs so all the Clan cats are grounded and the dogs will be on their long lines for the day

We hope that they can find the source of the oil and snares - Policeman thinks its the Farmer up the hill as he has been shooting deer in the woods and leaving the bodies - we have had various parts courtesy of Sky, Sunny, Max, Ice, Reggie and Murphy the local doggies who bring out the bits to eat in our paddock as it has long grass and no one sees them eating - I do from upstairs so I then have to remove all bits!
