Trigger, the Cat of the Day
Name: Trigger
Age: Sixteen years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Burmese
Home: Farnborough, Hampshire, UK
 
   This is my adorable cat Trigger. I got her ten years ago from the Cat Protection League as her previous owner had died. Trigger is an exceptional cat, who would spend the whole day sitting on my shoulder if she could. She won't get up until the alarm goes off in the morning regardless of the time and she won't go to bed until I do each night. She sleeps with her head on the pillow, her body under the duvet and snuggled up next to me. Whenever she sits or sleeps she is happiest if her chin is resting on something. Everyone who meets her falls in love with her, she has such a sweet nature and trots about the house keeping her eye on things.

    Until recently you would think she was about five years old but in the last few months Trigs hasn't been in the best of health. She has a heart murmur, is diabetic, her kidneys are failing and now she is getting more wobbly by the day. I inject her with insulin every twelve hours which she has never complained about and she is on medication for her kidneys but she is slowing down now. This picture was taken not long after one of her blood tests which is why she has the area under her chin shaved.

    I know I won't have Trigger forever but she has brought so much happiness into my life and home over the last ten years and now every day left is a gift. She is such a special cat and I love her.
