Zuri is around nine years old now.
She was a street cat, that was hit badly by a car eight years ago.
She suffered broken hips, broken tail, and the damage to her spine that left her paralysed and not able to urinate on her own.
After a long time spending in the vet hospital, finally Zuri started walking.
Her tail had to be amputated very high. The injury of her spine causes permanent swelling on her nerves, which is giving her chronic problems with pooing and urinating.
Before she used to have lots of acupuncture and vet treatments, but nothing really helped in a long term.
Over the years I learned how to keep her more comfortable with special fibre response food and natural products, but around once a year she does get an urinary infection ( she used to get them every month ) and when I see, that she starts having problems, I need to put her in the cage in my storage ( my home hospital ), because she is very difficult to catch to give her medications everyday. She learned to run away from me well :D
Once a year Zuri needs to be kept there for around a week to make sure her inflammation is gone and she can p*e without the problem.
She was always little bit feral cat at heart - got even more jumpy with years passing - and likes to keep away from all other cats too. She used to be more friendly to other cats when was younger, but with age it has changed.
She likes to be on her own.
She made her kingdom on the solarium, where I made her a wind and waterproof bed area and also shaded area in the summer.
She loves having some peace and quiet time for herself there, so she does not really miss much when locked here for a treatment.
