Hi everyone,
Being a half owner of Tommy I don't really know what to say
I thought all the cats were great and it is a real priviledge to have won the competition
Although Sylvia and I never mentioned this, Tommy is actually very ill at present. At 18 years of age he is definately on the ninth of his nine lives.
Back in May he was hit by flystrike whilst Sylvia and I were on holiday. We had to come back from holiday early because our cat sitter had rushed him to the vets who had to carry out an operation.
Tommy just is not recovering from it and has a serious infection that the antibiotics don't seem to touch.
He has had very bad diarrhea ever since but surprizingly he still is his old self even though he has a very sore bottom.
Our vet now thinks Tommy may have pancreatitis and we are about to do further blood works that has to be sent to the USA since the labs here can't test for it.
Anyway I am sure Tommy is going to be very proud of his rosette and will be very pleased by the toys Sylvia plans to buy him with his winnings.
We hope that he is going to recover and will keep you informed of his progress.
Many thanks to all who voted for him
Jim
