Hello my
name is Suzanna Southpaw. I am
the
spokes purrrson for Southpawcats. I am l7
years old - in the prime of my lives. I am
totally BEAUTIFUL! I am a princess and must
be treated as so. I am no ordinary cat, {but
really what cat is ordinary??}
I am the Boss around here just ask Governor.
However I am on medical leave at this time,
but came here to say that my mom has a story
to tell you about me getting paralyzed and my
recovery. First I hope you enjoy the poem
that she wrote about me! Be sure to keep checking my main page, Mom told me she is going to make a special section all my own, since I now have so many pages and photos! {giggle} Well I am
seeing a sunbeam over there that I need to go
check-out! See you later.
White is the color of
Suzanna has
always been very active and healthy. She is
the most precious cat I have ever had. As
most people who have animals in your lives
know, some pets are good, some just live
where you do and then every so often you get
one that is very special connection. That is
how Suzanna and I are. We are soulmates.

Purrs,
Miss Suzanna
and Vote for Me!! 
Suzanna
my true love's fur.
Soft as silk,
Warm as a quilt,
hanging on the line
in the summertime.
As beautiful as a
freshly fallen snow.
Her eyes glisten
like sunbeams all a glow.
White encompasses all the colors
of the rainbow.
As love encompasses all
the emotions of the soul.
White is the color
of my true love's fur.
The first day
I had her
she just curled up by my neck, purred and
slobbered. {She still does that when she is
very happy.} I have gone through some
difficult times, and she will come up and lay
with me on the couch asking to have her belly
rubbed. She has given me much love and
companionship for all of these years.
Suzanna, she was injuried 7 years
ago when she got vaccines, they were given inproperly and 7 hours later she was paralyzed in her back legs and tail. It has been a long road back and she will never fully recover. She still has a problem with incontinence. It was
all the time in the begining and now only
(most of the time) when she is in a deep
sleep. Her back legs will kick really hard
and sometimes she has knocked herself on the
floor!
She was in the
animal hospital for 4
days. It took about 2 months before she could
walk. She needed alot of care for the first
year. She gets around fairly good for what
she has been through. Some days she does
better than other days. {of course that could
be said of me too! LOL}
She has a
strong spirit and is a happy cat despite her
disability. It is amazing how animals adapt.
When she runs she uses her back legs together
as one and does this cute little bunny hop.
And when she needs some personal care she
knows to come to me and let me know. She
isn't quite as brave and independant as she
used to be.
In the
begining she had to be
with me all of the time. The only way I could
get anything done was to put her in a basket
and keep her with me. Now when I am working
in the artroom she has to be in a basket on
the table. When I make a marble it usually
takes an hour in the torch. I know that if I
don't put her basket on the table, and her
"steps" she will walk back and
forth around the table until this is done for
her. Then she gets in her basket, curls up
and happily goes to
sleep.
The MOST
IMPORTANT thing I tell
everyone--Know who is giving your cat the
injections!! My vet had retired and I went to
a store of pet supplies that
had a
clinic.
The technician that gave her shots
didnt
even know how to hold the syringe! If that
ever happens GRAB your CAT and
RUN!!
She now has a "specialist" vet {did you know
that there are neurologist vets?? I
didnt} Dr
Mike
is the only one that I will let
give Suzanna shots, and his technican,
which he has trained and explained it all to me. I tried to save money on the most precious
thing in my life. I has been a very hard long
lesson. And I feel it is my responsibility to
share this with
others.
