Rescue me! Lilypad Quilting Linky Party and Sponsored Giveaway

Can't resist any opportunity to show off our beautiful cat.  This is Abby at her best

before

...and after

I had made that little quilt for her and it took a little while for her to accept that she was required to lie on the blanket rather than the rest on the bed.

She is a gorgeous cat, approximately 4 years old by now. She came to us out of nowhere when she was about 18 mths old. She was looking almost emaciated when I first saw her in the garden and super hungry...so I fed her some dog food and she was ours. We took her to the vet and while she was healthy overall, she was neither desexed nor micro chipped.  Poor animal, needless to say, she was booked in straight away and spent a night at the vet, receiving all the necessary inoculations at the same time...that did not exactly endear her to our family.  To top it all off we were booked to go on a few days holiday so when she came out of the vet hospital she almost immediately had to go into a kennel for a few days. Needless to say, she had trust issues after that.

It took some time for her to trust the family and settle down but I must say, she has well and truly established herself as the queen bee in the household. While somewhat aloof and eccentric she can also be extraordinarily affectionate and will come to you to lie on you for a cuddle when it suits her...definitely owns us by now.

Anyway, could talk for hours about this cat, but will get a move on and link up to Lilypad Quilting for the Rescue Me! Linky Party
