Cruely kicked, nose smashed, both jaws broken and one eye out of its socket...I never thought my beautiful cat would survive! I was nursing mother at the time at home, who was dying of cancer. it was a terrible time. But thanks to the care and skill of a wonderful vet he did. Now 6 years on, asthmatic, blind in one eye, but with the deepest purr you could wish to hear, I fear my Casper may be nearing the end of his life. I felt I wanted to write a tribute to my adorable friend.
