Lily has just been to her third shot of cartilage protective agent today. I made sure that we left home an hour earlier than last week, and this round Lily managed to control and didn't relief herself until we got back home.
Came across some horrible thing today at the vet. A couple bought this very disturbed cat in a plastic pet housing in. Apparently the woman took the cat for a wash up (!) at one of the local pet stores. She haggled with the store assistant, and the store assistant agreed to do the job for HK$130. When the woman went back to pick up the cat, they found that the cat had a red nose, and the finger nails/claws were cut so deep that they were bleeding, not to mention what a terrible state of emotion the cat was in. The woman took the cat home, but couldn't calm the cat down, so she forced her into the pet housing and took her in to the vet. SPCA was notified.
I was curious, and asked the woman why and was there a need to send the cat to a wash? The woman told me that this cat smells a bit. I was more puzzled! Cats generally don't smell, as they are very clean. They spend a lot of their time glooming and cleaning themselves. I suspected that this cat has not been neutered, therefore it was giving out a scent. (I don't know enough about cats, and would welcome it if someone would drop me a line confirming this.) If such is the case, then I think the woman was being silly, because unaltered cats don't make very good house pets.
And why would anyone do such a horrible thing to a poor animal? I don't know whether it was gross negligence or ill-will, and I hope that whoever did it, together with the owner of the pet shop, would not get away with this.
