When Hope adopted me about 7 years ago now, she arrived ill, and has been sick ever since. Hope has about 150 lives.. not 9 lives as they usually say cats have. She suffers from sores in her mouth and has been on steroid injections for 7 years! About a year ago the injections stopped working and she now has prednisone in her food but I try and give it to her only when I see she is in pain because it has such awful side effects. Hope also suffers from awful breathing issues. Her nose is constantly blocked and drips all the time. Poor angel. She has a good week and then a bad couple of weeks. Right now its winter and we had an awful 2 weeks and last night she suddenly had a good night. She is a lovely, happy cat and hardly sees the vet although he knows about her issues and we talk on the phone weekly. I recently lost my Sheleg so the vet was visiting my home twice a week for the past year. Was wondering if any of you have experienced anything like this? A stray cat that adopted you (because she absolutely adopted me) that has spent her entire life ill but still carries on regardless, has a huge appetite and still enjoys life and is a special girl (albeit smelly because of her extreme mouth issues) :-)
Hope when she was not feeling great this weekend (but a huge improvement already this week) having a bit of a yawn :-) :
