Gizmo Born: July 7, 1985 Died: July 3, 1990 Oh goody, I am so pleased it is my turn now. My name is Gizmo and I was born with the others on 7th July 1985. Mum always laughed at the way I would walk around with my tail in the air, I thought all cats did that. I look very much like my sister Jenny but I don't suck up to mum the way she does. Fancy sleeping in a bed with a human, even puts her head on the pillow next to mum's. I sleep on the sofa in the living room, I don't have to listen to Jenny snoring then, mum can do that. My story is very sad on how I came to the Bridge. The family were out one night and when they came home I could not be found, they looked in the garden and found me on the patio, I could not walk or stand up. Mum went wild, she ran into the house to telephone an emergency vet. He agreed to meet mum at his surgery. I had been hit by a vehicle of some sort and the force had pushed my tummy up under my ribs and had flattened my lungs. I was in total shock. The vet said he would keep me there until I was stable and then operate. Mum could come and see me every day. This was the Monday, on the Friday I was stable enough to have the operation, the vet had put my tummy back where it belonged and was on the point of inflating my lungs when my heart gave out. He rang mum and told her. She said she wanted to come and get me, the vet said OK, come about 4 pm. That was July 3rd 1990. When mum came she was crying, she looked at me and thanked the vet for trying to save my life. Mum took me home and nursed me for ages. The next day she put me in the garden where I have a Rose planted over me called Sweet Dreams. All of us in the garden have a Rose planted, mum loves roses. It's a good job my real mum is still on earth as mum would miss her if she were gone also.
Tiggy only has an adopted cat there now, her 3 daughters are all here
and Clyde went off to do his own thing. I may talk to you again some
day. Jo Somerset - Bristol, United Kingdom |
