Blufje
(official name Magnificent Bløf) is named after my favorite
(dutch) band Bløf. The day after he moved in he fell off his cat tree
right on his head. He started vomiting and couldn't walk straight
anymore. We took him to the vet and she was shocked when she saw him,
she didn't think he'd survive. He was dehydrated and couldn't stand on
his feet. He stayed there during the night hooked up to an infusion.
After having been with us for only one day we were devastated, we feared
we would loose him. The next morning the vet phoned us and told us she
thought Blufje was gonna make it! Around 3 am he came out of his cage
and started walking in circles, she was worried that he had brain damage
but at 8 am he walked a straight line!!! From that day on it has been
ups and downs, lots of visits to the vet but the ups are outnumbering
the downs these days and we're very very happy!
I have been a dog person all my life, we've had two dogs who died several
years ago. Cats weren't my cup of tea, I looked at them as being creatures
lying in a corner looking at me with mean eyes. Then my girlfriend got two
cats and I learned to get to know cats in a totally different way. So
after discussing it, I took an option on Blufje. We went to see him three
times before taking him home (he was fourteen weeks old when we took him
home) And now I'm a cat person!!! :-))) Blufje is a sweetheart, he
comes to lie on my lap every chance he gets, purrs a lot and looks soooooo
cute. We love him to death. I never would have imagined how much joy a cat
can bring ...
