NEW COMPANION

[FUJI]

After circa three years minus a cat, I have plucked up the courage  to rescue a very young Bengal/cross , who had experienced a very real traumatic start to life, far too gruesome to detail here, suffice to say that most of it has been spent at the rescue vets…they repaired her to full health, then when she was about to be spayed a cyst was discovered on an ovary…so back in the recovery cage she went. Now, after a month with a foster/convalescence carer she was ready for rehoming…

I knew as soon as ai saw her on local Facebook she was potentially my cat….then I was told she was taken…so ai withdrew my application… but, a week later I learned that her other homing didn’t happen…she was mine.

As a result, I now own a fifteen month old , Bengal/Cross moggy, with huge character, oodles of genuine love, together with incredible speed, grace, climbing ability and mischief making…

By some quirk of fate…all of the veterinary attention she has experienced has made he very tolerant of being handled… of being fussed by many different humans…she is totally bomb-proof and super friendly to all who approach her….

She has a tall cat-tree in the bay window….plus a fancy new drinking fountain and a box of toys….her favourite being a large crafts pile-cleaner…this is thrown or carried around as if, wild prey…

She dies climb where she shouldn’t, but as a very intelligent breed possessing a super moggy memory, she will soon learn my boundaries , set for her.

 

it is this, plus health and family issues that have taken me away from TIPF… temporarily….A major nose  haemorrhage saw me dial 999 in the early hours… the crew spent 3 hrs attempting to stop the flow…in A&E later it took 6 silver nitrate sticks to half stop it….for the next two weeks it was touch and go….the experience left me very tired, with a very high blood pressure….increased medication, plus other drugs have stabilised me … still under the Doc, for yet another old fogey symptom…

‘The loss of my Brother in April didn’t help either….so there yiu have it….

Life throws googlies sometimes!

 

But now Inhave a beautiful moggy to take my mind of things….my photography mojo is as good as ever….

I was concerned at your absence Fooj , hence my message to you yesterday and  thrilled to see your response is to jump back in the saddle.  Bengal cats are just full of mischief  and your new  feline friend  obviously has many of those traits in her heritage  and I imagine  your mischievous character will no doubt be mirrored in her behaviour too Good to hear from you and your update is very welcome.... and the portraits of your new companion are too .  good to see you back ol’ chum.

I hesitate to call her a moggy.  Far too regal for that and bright eyed to boot.  Just a lovely feline.  Sorry to hear about your googlies Fuj.  Only upwards from now on and it looks like you have made a good start.  Just keep it up.

Here's to a long and happy relationship for the pair of you, she is a super looking cat Cyril..I would love another cat but the wife said she couldnt cope with losing another. Hope you get back to normal soon.

That, Denis…..is exactly what I had from my good lady since 22 yr old TINKE passed on about three yrs ago….but this one….NALA…. seemed to speak to me from The plea from the rescue Centre on FB … 

Currently we are contracted to keep her in one room for eight weeks….a bit  of a challenge considering her breed and age…. …she can go like a rocket when the mood takes her…. She just doesn’t stop for 15 minutes or more….totally bonkers….somersaults, backflips, high-speed climbing and incredibly high leaps especially with her favourite toy….a giant crafts pile cleaner….
