5 years ago today our adopted cat presented us with four kittens. After rearing them she left and we found a home for one of the kittens. Sadly the female, Purdy, was killed on the road leaving us with "the boys" Dylan and Emile.
Way back on 1st December we discovered Emile in the shed with an obviously broken leg. In fact both back legs were broken and there has followed a seemingly never ending tale of woe. One leg , in fact the one which we were first told was the more serious, has healed well but the other is proving very problematic with the bone taking what seems like forever to heal. Poor Emile has had a total of 5 operations ( the latest today) and is still not out of the woods. This week he will stay at the vets and afterwards it will be a case of more time being kept indoors , mostly in the cage to stop him climbing and jumping. Not an ideal life for a very outdoor cat.
The vets bills are obviously mounting too and we are getting very used to the hour's drive to Montauban - cat complaining most of the way!
A new name - Emilleuro seems appropriate.
