‘Peaches’ recovering in hospital after an operation for dog attack. Screenshot from video by Harvey Animal Hospital.

I think you’ll like this story told by a lady who I believe works at the Harvey Animal Hospital in Michigan. The cat’s name is Peaches. She is considered elderly at 7-years-of-age. She is described as a very sweet female cat. She was badly injured by a dog. Her abdomen was badly damaged. She was operated on and she may undergo a second operation.

Note: for some inexplicable reason the default setting for Facebook videos is sound off! Weird. Please make sure the sound is turned on by clicking on the sound icon at bottom-right of the player once the video gets started.

She is wearing a collar to stop her picking at a drainage tube in her belly which was causing discomfort. She purrs a lot and as you can see in the video she has a very quiet, gentle demeanour. A lovely female cat who’d make a wonderful companion.

Donations are gratefully received. The hospital’s number is 313-882-3026. She’ll be released for adoption when she is healed.

I really like the gentle way in which the woman describes Peaches’ story. It made me feel quiet sleepy but in a nice way. It kind of calmed me too. The video is on the Michigan Cat Rescue FB page.

P.S. If the video disappears I apologise but I have no control over its existence on Facebook. It is embedded on this site using code.
