My Blue Tortie Tabby Anwesol
Autopurr (Purdy) came from a
breeder in Studley,
Warwickshire. A friend of
mine, Sue Smith came with me
to choose Purdy from two
tortie tabbies in the litter.
Before I could purchase her
she had an accident at the
breeders house and fell out of
a tree which hurt her back legs.
She had an X-ray at the time
and we were warned that she
might have arthritis in her legs
later on in life.
Purdy started her show career
in 2000 and in the November
of that year she won Best of
Variety British at the Supreme
Cat Show at the NEC.
She was mated twice the
following year but aborted at 6
weeks due to developing a
womb infection so
unfortunately she had to be
neutered putting a stop to her
breeding hopes.
In 2002 we started showing
her as a neuter and she gained
her Premier title very quickly.
However by 2003 she started
having health problems; Purdy
developed an abscess on her
face which caused her to have
balance problems with her ears.
By 2004/2005 Purdy started
suffering from the dreaded
arthritis in her back legs and
had problems getting on to her
feet. I had a stool by my
bedside to make it easier for
her to get on to my pillow and
that's where she slept every
night.
In late 2005 she went blind,
but it was amazing how well she
coped and managed to get
around the house with out any
problems. Her meals consisted
of just turkey thigh as every
other diet was rejected by
Purdy.
On Wednesday August 8th
2007, I came home form work
and found her in our
conservatory unconscious. I
rushed her straight to the vets
and they confirmed she had
suffered a blood clot. We had
to make the heart breaking
decision to have her put to
sleep as there was nothing
anyone could do for her.
I shall miss Purdy terribly as
she held such a special place in
my heart.
In loving memory of Purdy I
have made the decision to have
her cremated and I shall keep
her ashes in her favourite
place, by the side of my bed.
To my wonderful girl, Purdy.
