Poor cat.. I have one named "Smack" He is a russian bleu. I was in school studying to be a vet nurse and he was in a clinic I did my internship in. I found out he was a hit and run brought in by one of the other nurses who also happened to be my instructor, Steve. Steve was to keep him, but his dog would not allow it so I got him. after having him for a year he got out of the house once and got hit by a car again and it shattered his hind right leg. Good thing I was emplyoed at a wonderful animal hospital in Tucson, AZ. called Grant RD veterinary Hospital. I had a 1200.00 surgery preformed for nothing so the doc could get orthopedic surgery practice. most vets would have amputated, it was so bad. She did a wonderful job on him, restored full mobility to his leg. He now sits in the yard and watches the cars instead of chasing them though....LOL
Catlin: No I'm not part Scottish, nor are all Geordies. Antevark: close, but no cigar. Like Cockneys are born within the sound on Bow Bells in London, England, Geordies are born on the banks of the river Tyne (North East England). The north bank of the river is Newcastle, the south side is Gateshead. We have our own dialect of English that can be 'braw' or too thick to understand even by other English although Danes can understand some of it. For instance: 'Gan yam' means going or to go home! A Dane might understand this. Whereas 'whisht, lads, ad yer gobs' (be quite, boys) may cause a problem. 'Gannon doon' means 'going down' as in a famous Geordie song 'The Bladen Races'. 'Hiya, Hinnee' means (for you Americans) 'Hello, Honey'. From the song 'The Lampton Warm (Worm)' comes the line 'He canna be fash to tack it yam, so he hoyed it doon the well'. Obviously there's much more but I didn't pick up much of the accent or the dialect as I left when I was six. I have however been called upon to translate 'braw Geordie' in to Queens English which was fun! But not recently. Traditionally, Geordies and Scots mix like oil and water, however, many years ago Scots and people of the North of Enlgand (Cumbrians and Northumberland) together formed the Border Rievers, a group of families of the border between Scotland and England bent on cattle stealing, pillaging and murder of which I am proud to say my family was included. This has been a Bryster O.G.S. production, and to the best of my knowledge, every word is true.

Colette, thanks for the encouraging words. That cat used up a lot of her nine lives in the three years she was with us. She's had a broken jaw, a sprained back leg, a hole thru her front paw and we had to have most of her tail removed because she got an infection in it that turned to gangreen(sp?). I really hope that getting picked up by a driver meant she was still alive and maybe had a chance. Without a body its easier to think that could be the case. Angela
