In Loving Memories

Thunder, a bi-coloured persian, has sadly passed away today. His a friend's cat whom i got to know from the few cats shows i attended. His onli 1 year old. We do not know what could be the cause of it but i would rather say it could be due to the ineffectiveness of singaporean vets in general.

I;ve been to a few vets myself and yes, so many times, they were as clueless as me on what is wrong with sick animals, especially cats..As u ppl know, dogs are still the preferred choice of pets cos they are such babe magnets.. who can resist a little puppy running around the neighbourhood while u most likely to be greeted with a "get-out-of-my-face reply from 80% of cats. So dogs are more extensively studied and treated upon. I can find more valueable answers in the vast internet anytime if i see anything wrong with Ariel. And the worst thing is, cats hide their illnesses well until the very last moment when u noticed that something is wrong, it;s mostly too late.

Well it boils down to the very nature of their survival. Cats, being solitary animals (other than lions), have to hide their illnesses even when they are sick is because, a weak/sick lookin cat is highly to feel prey to other animals, and being solitary, unlike dogs, which are pack animals, they dun have the luxury of showing their weak side for fear of their own survival..

Anyway, hoped Thunder will have a happier life now...
