Q & A

Q: I would like to hear more about Chase's story - I read the introduction and understand she was hit by car but I am curious - did you or the clinic working with her ever consider putting her down? TWO plastic surgury attempts? I admit to being fascinated by Chase's story - my great grandmother lost the lower half of her face from cancer and I have always thought how incredibly difficult it would be to live with a dramtically disfiguring injury. How wonderful Chase has the temperament to be a therapy cat.

A: Honestly, no, we never considered putting her down. The plastic surgery attempts- the first was attempted to cover her face with skin and it did not work. The second, they started and it was just not going to work so we decided not to go through with it because I didn't want to put her through any more.

Special Deliveries

I received some wonderful mail this week. I just want to thank my special friend Liz who has been so sweet to me for the last 2 years. She sent me a nice birthday package with a really cool bunk bed (seen above). I can sleep on top of it and also inside! It is my new favorite spot to snooze.

Also a new friend, Mollie, sent me this awesome hand decorated card and lots of cool new toys. Thanks so much!!

Q & A

Q: Isn't she more succeptable to illnesses though because of this disfigurement?

A: That was the thought originally. But other than having to sneeze more frequently than other kitties to clear her nasal passage she has never had any illnesses in 3 years. She has been healthier than my non-disfigured feline. (Knock on wood)

Princess and the Pea

Ok, so maybe I did not realize that my sister, Parker was under the blanket... but I was shortly thereafter joined by my other dog sister, Spider. Eventually Parker couldn't take it and left the party.

Climbing

Ok, my parents were moving furniture and they left a mattress against the wall while they moved other objects. Guess what? I climbed it every time they left the room.

They were able to catch me on video only climbing up half way but here is a pic of me on the top too.
