Tilly, the Cat of the Day
Name: Tilly
Age: Two years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Calico
Home: England, United Kingdom
 
   When we first got Tilly she was eight weeks old, she was doing fine for the first few days. Then five days later, she began to look sick and she would vomit often. A few days later on my 10th birthday we took her to a vet because we were really worried about her, the vet said she would need operation at a cost of about £500, and so we took her home because we couldn't afford that price. Later my Grandma phoned up and suggested that we take her back to her mum, so we did only to find that her mum had since died in an accident. Luckily another cat on the farm had also had kittens so was able to feed her. The people who owned the farm cared for her and gave her sugared water through a syringe and two weeks later we were able to bring her back to our house (and she had never needed an operation at all!) Tilly has been fine since and hadn't been to the vets in ages (except for injections) until about two months ago. She gave birth to four gorgeous kittens (you can only see a few of them in this photo). They were all fit and strong and we gave them away to nice homes.

    Tilly then got some peace and quiet, and Tilly went for her operation to stop her having kittens anymore. She was very brave. When we brought her home she wasn't hungry, so she went straight up onto my bed and stayed there all night. By breakfast she had found her appetite back, after breakfast she went straight back onto my bed! We are glad when she was feeling better. We all love Tilly.
