Poor little kitties :-(

As I mentioned in our story, both our cats have been unwell since we moved into this house.

Unfortunately when Little B and I moved out, we had to leave the cats behind. They have been well cared for, fed and looked after by Mr B during that time but recently our youngest cat began having massive mood changes and seemed generally unwell.

We moved her up to Granny B's (which is a juggle as her cat is not cat friendly). Our poor little kitty H was a bit of a mess. Off her food, lethargic and after a few days, we discovered she was bleeding from her bowels. Turns out the mold had colonised her bowel and her skin. With our vets help, we treated her and after 3 weeks she is on the improve.

Problem sorted I hear you say?? Well today I booked our other cat M in for grooming so she could make the move up here (she is half Persian). The vet looked her over and suddenly it was emergency stations 'stat'. Now it turns out she is sick as well and she has an autoimmune disease brought on by "exposure to a toxic environment" which in turn is impacting on her heart. Turns out the vomiting they assured us wasnt serious and was caused by furballs in a long haired cat, is actually very serious.

All I can say is that this afternoon I am both heart broken and angry. Heart broken because our poor little kitties are now bearing the brunt of this house and angry because the vets didnt take us seriously when we brought the cats in during the last 12 months.
