Poor Guardakitty [View all]

It seems the rescue I got him from lied and lied badly. He in not a kitten.

I was finally able to touch him more and found a huge mat in his bib. I could not get it off with a comb and it hurts him in the spot where it was stuck to badly.

I asked the local community for help and they told me to take him to a vet which I did not have a bunch of money for.

I took him to a groomer and she was able to shave that big mat off of him and others near his hind quarters for a small fee being he is from a rescue.

I was told to get a special comb and a special brush for him which I ordered from IAMACON (AMAZON). The items were supposed to be here today but they sent me the wrong things.

I went through hell trying to get through to amazon and I'm done with them. I had a credit balance w/them and that is why I ordered via them.

As if ebay is any better these days. It is filled with fraud tracking numbers and items that are "lost". What a damned joke this country has become!

Did India solve my problems today at amazon? I don't know.

I hope that dear Guardakitty is healing. That was a nasty mat in a very bad place.

He is NOT A KITTEN. He seems to be a 3-4 year old cat and he had a job in the cat colony of 110 he was from. He was the protector of kittens that had no mother. He was their guard!

I don't care how old he is but it angers me that I was lied to about him.

Poor Guardakitty. He knows he is loved here now in his new home and his kitten Nialls is thriving at 10 months old.

I had 400 lbs. of cat litter to deal with the past couple of days and I am exhausted. Nothing is going quite right these days and gee, I sure wish I had my husband around but he is dead and gone.

Fare you well for now.
