Problem was, I don't like keeping animals in cages, so she was free to move around the house and garden. Anyway, imagine my horror when I found her hiding in the lallang behind the house with half her guts trailing on the ground! Obviously, she had clawed at the stitches in a fit of feline defiance and managed to rip the wound open. I steeled myself and gently tucked her guts back into her belly, then I wrapped her in an old sarong while a friend drove me to the veterinary assistant's house. Miraculously he sewed her up again and within a week Mira was fine and I was able to remove her stitches with a small pair of scissors. What a feisty feline... she's still alive, this Grand Matriarch whose DNA probably can be found in three-quarters of Kampong Pertak's cat population, and my guess is she's at least 11 years old. The good news is that I was able to get her fallopian tube tied without removing her ovaries - so she can still fool around with her toyboys, this oversexed Great-Grandma ;-)Starmandalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03349987009726416189noreply@blogger.com
