paralyzed cat saved by hydro therapy

here's a cute story about a kitty who was paralyzed in one leg and recovered by swimming:)

I heard a little something about this yesterday. Cute cat too. So glad this therapy worked for her, and that her breed is naturally good about being in the water. I can't imagine my Bijoux or my sis' Annabelle being willing to go into a pool of water............

i've never had a cat that even liked to lay i the sink and drink water from the drip...but there are cats that do like the water. i think if she didn't like the water in the beginning they would have tried something (less water etc) to help.

My sis's previous cat Wuzzy didn't mind the water at all. He liked it and would play with the drip in the sink and even lay there getting dripped on while napping. He'd wake up all soaked on one side.

there are a lot of kitties like that sinks and drips and just plain water....i've seen pics and heard stories but never had one of my own. though i think Buddy might have sat in the sink if i had a regular sink with a counter around it. (my sink is just a tiny old fashioned one).

I have a picture of Ascot, when he was a kitten sitting
in the sink playing with a drip. Boo used to love
to camp out in the sink.

You some of the big cats love water.

i wonder if ms puff (and mr puff if he were still here) would like to get in a sink. they had the big scary sink in the laundry room (not a good kitty place...too deep for a kitty to just jump out of ) and the little one in the bathroom and they never went into either.
THOUGH Buddy did like to stretch up to the sink. he could put his paws up there and almost look into the sink. ANd near the end Paulie actually got into the sink when i was petting her up on the washer. she might have liked to have gotten into a bathroom sink if there was one with a counter around it.

Yeah, if there was even a tiny bit of counter space for them to jump up onto, they'd have gotten into a regular sized porcelain sink.
Buddy sounds like he was on the tall side, like our Fiffur was. Longer legs sure do help a kitty reach up higher for stuff.

not so much long legs but a long body and he could really stretch. (also the bathroom fixtures are really low down here..they're very old and i have a feeling that back in theh 40s and before they made things shorter and lower cuz a lot of the people were shorter and lower!

Oh, Fiffur had long legs and could really stretch his body too. He could see out the apartment windows easily yet Bijoux can't quite reach his chin up there no matter how hard he tries.
