Meet Magic!

It's not just sorrow and misery with the cats on our tiny tropical island. There are success stories too. Here's one!

Meet Magic, the miracle kitten!

He was the tiniest little thing  a while ago when he was run over by a horse cart, a cidomo. Luckily for Magic, this happened right in front of Lutwala Dive, a dive shop that has soft spot for cats (one more reason why I took a liking on everyone at Lutwala!) People at Lutwala heard a cat scream, ran to see what happened and found a hurt kitten.

He did not look good at all. The kitten was not able to walk, kept falling when he tried. He kept his other front paw in a weird way, had a little bit of bleeding from bum and was just a miserable little thing. But they kept him safe and warm and well fed at Lutwala, keeping an eye on him all the time. Couple of days later he started to look a little better. We had a vet visiting the island, and he checked Magic and said nothing is broken and that he may very well survive. However, the next day Magic started having seizures and we were all pretty sure he will not live to see the next day.

But the next day, Magic was much better. A bit more resting, and  Magic started to behave like kittens should behave: playing with other cats at Lutwala, climbing trees, sleeping, eating and being the cutest little thing. Jumping on your lap, looking at you with big kitten eyes and purring at everyone. He loves sleeping on top of my laptop-bag whenever I go to Lutwala to borrow their internet connection. He's so cute!

They named the kitten Magic, and what a perfect name! Surving a crash with a fast going cidomo... it's pure magic if you ask me!

Magic taking a nap with Trimix. Trimix is another success story! He was found as a tiny miserable kitten by the road last November, face was covered in dried blood and he looked like an alien. He's a handsome big boy now and lives happily at Lutwala Dive.

Oh yeah, the laptop bag is here! A place for Magic to sleep!
