Ok, this is NOT about fleas I promise!! LOL.
I just wanted to write about how I feel so bad for this cat. She is obviously not well taken care of. I mean, first of all she had fleas and the dumb guy didn't even know.
I look at her and I see so many problems. First of all, he said to me when he brought her over "I combed her and clipped her nails". WHAT?!!!!! I combed her yesterday and gave her Advantage, and I SWEAR her fur already looks more healthy and white. Her nails are like TALONS. They look so creepy and click everywhere, and I'm sure that's why he said she had "sensitive skin". Well no wonder! She's gouging herself with her talons every time she scratches herself, and scratching herself excessively because she has fleas!!
She also has a totally bald patch under her chin. I wonder why - do you think maybe it's cause they have a plastic water bowl for her? He gave me this plastic bowl that you can put a water bottle screwed in so it constantly fills with water. The bowl is full of that orangy muck from not washing it, and who knows how old the plastic bottle is!!
I immediately dumped it out and gave her a nice glass water bowl with fresh filtered water.
She has the HUGEST belly, kinda like my old cat did. a huge paunch that swings and hangs down. My friends came over last night and said she looked like she has a tumor.
She also kind of walks funny, and I can't tell if that's because of her belly or something else.
Anyways, it just makes me mad. She's sooooo sweet and quiet and calm and doesn't fight anything I do to her (what I had to do with her fleas, etc.), and my friend picked her up yesterday and laid her on her back to comb for fleas and she was totally calm, patient, didn't meow or try to get away.
She actually made me cry because I feel so bad for her, and also because she doesn't fight it - you know? She's just so accepting and sweet.
Anyways, just had to rant here. thanks.
