Minky Update

I visited Minky at the vet this afternoon and my poor little baby, he was all skittish and shaking and was freaked out till he realised it was me then he started purrring.

Here he is with the vet man with his shaved body. I'm so glad they left the fur on his face, feet and tail. So it doesn't look quite as bad as I thought it would.

Here he is attempting to walk, he still can't walk very well, his back legs kept giving way. They said that he isn't getting any worse but they still haven't said if there are any big problems from the tick poison or not.

He is staying there overnight and he might have to stay a second night but there is a small chance he could come home tomorrow.

Thank you for all your kind words and thoughts, it's been a full-on day with worry.

Have a nice evening,




P.S. Minky is a Ragdoll breed which is like a cross of Persian, Burmese, Tabby and something else. They are called 'ragdolls' because they flop in your arms when you cuddle them and they are often used in pet therapy etc. Ragdolls look just like Burmans (Sonia asked in the last post if he was a Burman) but the Burmans have a nose marking which Ragdolls don't.

Just a short post to say that if you wouldn't mind saying a little prayer for our cat Minky today as he is quite sick :(

He was acting a bit strange last night then this morning he couldn't walk properly. I've just taken him to the vet and the vet found a massive paralysis tick on him!

He is staying at the vet now to get the anti venom put into him and to be monitored etc.

The vet is also going to shave him - so goodbye fluffy kitty, hello skinny rat.

I just hope that he can get through this, as tick bites can be fatal so if you could please say a little prayer for Minky that would be very much appreciated!

I'll keep you posted on his progress when I find out more later.

And thank you so much everyone for the fantastic response so far to my giveaway, I'm very excited about it.

Have a great day everyone,

My cat Minky...

Introducing my fluff ball of a kitty cat 'Minky'.

Here's a bit of history on Minky:

• He's a pure breed Blue Point Ragdoll breed.
• His birthday is the 19th Sept like me!
• He is 2 years old.
• He was my surrogate baby who got smothered with love... until William was born.
• He was then cast aside when William came home from hospital. My husband had to take up the love and care duties for about 2 months until I decided he wasn't going to scratch, smother or bite my new precious baby.
• He is actually fantastic with Will and all the other kids who come to visit.
• He drops a LOT of hair over the house!

Anyway I just had to post about him today because I came into the lounge to find him lying sprawled on the coffee table trying to stretch out and cool down in the heat. Take a look...
I removed the glass so he wouldn't knock it off in his sleep. (I didn't have the heart to wake him). And found him later in a new position like this...
Ahhh, the life of a cat. I hope you're having a relaxing day like Minky is!
Thanks for stopping by,
