Willow
She’s very small
The is Willow, she was about 4 when she came to us from Cats Protection. Her owner had other priorities so we adopted her. When she arrived she was quite a timid cat, and spent the first few days under the bed. But when she understood she was in no danger she came out and would then sit with you for ages.
But every energetic
She’s was very energetic cat, charging around the house and she liked to race you up the stairs. When she got half way up, she’ll wait until you’d catch her up and then bound to the top. Willows spent half her time inside, either lying on the bed or a dining room chair, or else hiding in the garden. She didn’t often leave the garden, sometimes she would depart via an upstairs window and then return shortly afterwards via her flap. When you entered a room she would would roll on to her back in order that you could make a fuss of her, but when you left, she’ll often continue to stay on her back sometimes then she’d sleep in that position as well.
Diabetes
When Willow was 10 she deleveloped diabetes. Our vet tried his best and for a few weeks we gave her insulin injections. For a time it looked like it was working, but as is often the case with cats, it’s very hard to control. There was nothing that could be done and so we decided that she had to be put down. In the end we had to do what was best for Willow.
