Chester has a few pages scattered around here on PoC but I thought it would be nice to have a new page with some of the old photos of him and also new ones as Marion takes them of his progress (videos).
Just look at the difference in him already, from that tiny oil covered terrified hopeless little soul to the happy kitten he is now.
It’s partly thanks to the vet for shaving him and prescribing the medication he needed to prevent him developing problems from swallowing some oil, but most of all it’s thanks to Marion for her tender loving care and the good food she gives him.
Chester has touched many hearts and every day people are asking Marion how he is, he has many offers of a home for when he’s well and socialised enough to cope with the change and some people have been very generous with donations towards his vets bills, including Michael here on PoC of course.
He has made feline friends at Marion’s house and the gorgeous George has taken him under his wing too and keeps him in line with a bat of a paw if he pushes his luck with naughtiness lol.
Marion was a bit worried last night but today she says:
‘I was worried about Chester last night he didn’t eat his tea or supper and just curled up in his bed. Antibiotics finished the other day so had in my head he was going downhill. However this morning though not eaten much he is flying around like a lunatic again’
I think we all hope and pray he continues to recover and goes on to have a very happy long life. It seems a shame he was born feral and he had to live through the traumas he suffered in order to be a much loved pet one day.
Thankfully he is young enough to tame and hopefully in the future start to trust the people who only want to love and care for him, not to hurt him.
Updating video:
I’ll add that video to the page. Chester looks very happy in the video.
i’m so glad people are phoning up about chester marion, i hope this means that other cats and kittens will be rehomed because of him too. i know everyone wishes him a speedy recovery and hopefully his new home is’nt too far into the future. who could resist that georgeous little face? pleased he is feeling a bit brighter again, you’re obviously working your magic with him!
Oh lol what a little fighter he is I can’t bear to think of if he hadn’t been rescued
And Dorothy of course, how could I forget her?
While we were cleaning up Sunday morning following the fireworks show at Camp Luwisomo a bunch of teenagers came down on their bikes to use the beach. But they started putting the canoes and paddle boats into the water and trying to sink them and they were screaming and hollering to the point that it was very annoying while trying to work. When I saw what they were doing with the boats I told Jeff’s father to go handle it and he did. He didn’t even yell, just talked to them, and suddenly they quietly pulled all the boats back up onto shore and left without another word. So even good kids can do some really dumb things in a big group– like a mob mentality– but good kids will come back to their senses when an adult confronts them.
One bad kid can lead the others down a road they would never have thought to go. I hope they catch the ringleader, the one whose idea it was to hurt Chester. There honestly could have been some kids in that group who felt badly about what was happening and seriously regret it now. But the one who had the idea, the one who didn’t care, the one who lead the taunts against Chester’s rescuer– he’s the one who needs to be caught, whoever he is, because he’s the one who will do horrible things even by himself. He’s the one who could easily beat, rape or kill someone someday if he hasn’t gone that far already. There’s a monster out there and I hope the police don’t take the attitude, “Well, it was just a cat and he’s fine now so all is well.” All is not well.
It’s much better to catch these stinkers now and drive the point home that some behavior is simply not acceptable and if you continue in it you can spend your life sitting in a prison cell than to try to deal with them after they have committed other crimes like burglary, armed robbery, rape, assault, murder… Why wait until those things have happened? The cops solve murders and other crimes all the time. They can solve this one IF they want to. They should want to very much.
I can think of one right away
How does Marion keep her sanity and her temper when dealing with people like than man who keeps phoning her about more kittens and then oh he forgot to mention his cat isn’t neutered?
