Paris, the Cat of the Day
Name: Paris
Age: Nine months old
Gender: Male
Kind: Black Smoke Devon Rex
Home: London, United Kingdom
 
   My pedigree name is Rexivel Black Prince, and this is why my mummy called me Paris (after Paris, the Prince of Troy). When I was only fourteen weeks old she found although I'd had my jabs (ouchy) I got cat flu. I was tiny but brave, and I got over it. Then at 20 weeks old I suddenly didn't feel well. I could only just lift up my head 'cos I was so weak and looked like a beany baby. When mum took me to see the vet she got a great big scare - they said "there's nothing we can do for Paris, we'll have to put him down". I didn't even know what was going on and I thought they meant put me down on the floor! Then the vet said before that we will contact the Professor from the Royal Veterinary College. The Professor said "Although rare in a cat - do some checks for hypothyroidism and put him on Soloxene." After a few hours I stood up all by myself! and I keep trying hard to get better every day. I love eating, playing with my rolled up silver paper (even though they spend lots of money on toys, hee hee). I'm ever so naughty, too but I never ever get told off. See I'm cool and they didn't put me down on the floor after all. This is me warming myself under the lamp way above the floor.
