Pepita the new kitty

Pepita is the new addition to the family.
I had seen that fluffy cat roaming in the neighbourhood for some time but assumed he (I thought it was a boy) belonged to someone.
She was quite shy and would run away when I went out...then she started to come and eat the food I put out for an outside kitty.
And last February we had some unusually cold weather  and she wouldn't  leave the garden.

One morning she jumped inside the house and checked all the rooms, and then went quickly back outside.
But that night I found her leaning on the bay window, shivering and looking very miserable. I let her in and she immediately went napping in a basket in the study.

She didn't look too good. She was pretty dirty with matted hair that I had to cut. I took her to the vet and it turned out she recently had a  miscarriage and some of the dead fetuses were still inside her, rotting :(  She had some emergency surgery and a heavy dose of antibiotics...and now she is doing great!
Thriving really, must have doubled her weight by now. She eats a lot, loves ham,cuddles and warm radiators. She is also very bossy and a little bit possessive. She loves cuddling when I watch TV, putting her little nose right on my nose and making little "I love you " eyes.

Star Cat of the Day : GP

GP McBain (also known as Pounet) is the ultimate rescued kitty. GP stands for "grosses pattes" (big paws in French), as he has a strange disease that makes all his white cells accumulate in his lower limbs.
GP belonged to someone else but he occasionally came in the garden, I noticed him because he has a "bad" eye, he got wounded and it never properly healed. Obviously he was not much cared for .

He looked nice enough, not picking fights with my own cats. Then one winter I noticed that he was in the garden a lot, and that he walked funny...so I tried to to pet him and catch him to see what was wrong. Poor GP not only had this uncurable paw problem, he also had coryza and looked really thin and...well about to die really.

So I took him in.

The vet was not very hopeful, on top of his various health conditions, he also had a broken tail.

Well, we are now 3 years later. GP has good days and bad days, he sleeps a lot...but he seems happy, "I won the lottery" happy actually ;)

He eats well, and likes cuddles too...and he is the ultimate sunbeam napper :) But what I like best about him, is the way he looks at me with adoring eyes.

And the vet can't believe he is still with us!
