We received a phone call yesterday from a man residing in a NICE apartment complex about a cat he has been feeding outside for the last week. He said he did some research and that the kitty looked just like a Sphinx kitty. Bald being the top giveaway. We're full and closed to intake-- except for... Sign in to see full entry.

See the stains underneath the chin and on the paws? That is from drinking. Persians are notorious dirty drinkers.

Do ya'll recall when I mentioned the coneheads-- the three kitties that had eye surgery?? This is Verity. Her corneal sequestrum was HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Basically a big black dot grows on the eye- usually when fighting off upper respiratory illnesses. And it needs to be removed. See the green... Sign in to see full entry.
