Vendredo Marshie
Marshie is the seal tonkinese daughter of Yo and Reiki.She is the last "Vendredo" kitten to
be bred. Her mother was speyed after her and her brother were delivered by caesarian. Despite all
the efforts we made, her brother only survived for four days. At one week old, Yo decided an only kitten,
and her last kitten at that, wasn't going to be raised in a box... nooo... she moved this baby into my
bed, under my blankets and refused to have her anywhere else. Imagine how hard it is to sleep in a bed
knowing that there was a tiny one week old kitten in there!
Being an only kitten, she got plump very quickly, and was just like a squishy marshmallow, hence the name.
By the time she was six weeks old though, she was the size of a three week old kitten. Despite a good diet
and lots of special attention, she wasn't growing too well. I took her to the Vet to be examined, and the
xrays taken revealed her heart was enlarged and pressing on her ribs. The Vet couldn't say for sure if it
was a viral thing or a congenital thing. We gave her a vitamin injection and I took her home.
I have never taken her back to recheck her heart, but she has to go and be speyed very shortly
She is a small cat, bright, intelligent, lively... and she now thinks under my jersey is the
place she should sleep, and bugs me til I let her in!
