Cat’s Face Re-Attached

Boston, Tuesday, 9th December, 2008

Edgar, a four year old female cat, had her face surgically re-attached by a Boston Vet on Tuesday.

It’s believed that she may have hidden under a car bonnet to escape the cold weather.

She was missing for three days and was found at home, in her litter box, with her face skinned and hanging from her head.  She was rushed to Angell Animal Medical Centre, where Dr Michael Pavletic re-attached her

 lacerated face.  It’s not known exactly how Edgar got her injuries.

Safety in bad weather is especially important.  It’s a good idea to tap loudly on the bonnet of your car or sound the horn before starting the engine.  Also, look under the car for any animal sheltering there before setting off.
