While i was in town doing the grocery shop the RSPCA came round to our home and spoke to DH about our 15 year old cat.
He said our cat was looking a bit thin. DH explained that our cat has a thyroid condition. Which she is on medication for One pill a day in her food.
DH also pointed out the collar she is wearing. The RSPCA officer didnt know what it was. Its a dermatological collar She has something similar to dermatitis. The collar treats it and gets renewed every six months. He didnt even ask about it much less know what it was DH had to tell him. DH also showed him vets bills , told him about the regular trips to the vet including a visit to an emergency vet at 3am one morning when her back legs kept giving way. He wanted to come in and see her so DH let him in.
DH told him not to pick her up or stress her out and he just touched her head.
After that he said that she is obviously being looked after and he left.
But last year they told me to leave my elderly cat outside overnight in favour of a snake that had found its way into my flat. And i told them on the phone then that my cat is/was elderly.
They didnt seem concerned then.
Im really worried that they are going to come and take her away from us. We have had her for 15 years She used to belong to an ex neighbour but decided she preferred it here with us.
She has brought and still brings us a lot of joy. We love her so much. We go without things so she can get her treatment. But we dont mind cos she is MORE than worth it.
She may be coming to the end of her life and we want to make her time that she has left with us as enjoyable and stress free as possible.
Last years thread when i was told to leave her outside all night.
