"I M NOT COMING DOWN!" 🐱

Cherie the tortie spends a lot of time on top my SUV when she's not indoors. She's been a wonderfully entertaining and affectionate cat to our family and loves sleeping in Joey's kitty basket in my bedroom.

 

She's particularly attached to both Joey and Sunny and is quick to follow the first one that walks out of my bedroom. Her transformation from the squeaky short-haired runt that she was, into a long haired tortoiseshell cat is nothing short of amazing.

 

Cherie didn't look like much when we literally rescued her from our cat hating neighbor last year. She already had a gangrenous tip of her tail at the time and the vet scheduled her for a minor amputation procedure.

 

We didn't send her for her tail tip amputation as it literally fell off one time. The vet later prescribed Cherie antibiotics and we also cleaned the wound and sprayed it with powdered iodine antiseptic.

 

Sometimes we wonder how she would have looked like had she had not lost part of her tail. Cherie doesn't miss the tail tip anyway, even though her tail is about two thirds of what it used to be. 😁
