Sorry to have to report the decease of one of the Ark passengers. Bandit was one of the local cats who had adopted us for several years, sometimes with us at feed time, sometimes more resident at Claudie`s bungalow. For some time he had been looking a little scruffy and unkempt, but a few days ago we noticed he was reluctant to eat and was lethargic and spent his time lying about. We gave him some special attention, wormed him in case that was the problem and tempted him to eat a little by giving him some cat sachet food. By this morning, he was looking so wretched we took him to the vets, as we had an appointment for Toffee`s vaccination. François examined him but could see that he had a serious infection of the cavity round the heart, was dehydrated and in a moribund state. Rather than let him suffer further we all decided to have him put to sleep, which was done straight away.
A sad event, but a duty with has to be undertaken from time to time if you are caring for animal...
R I P Bandit xxx
