Melek of the Street


In the past few days I have made some very interesting Three-Paw related discoveries.

* Three-Paw is in fact a laydee. I should have known she would hide such magnificence under such a lovely fluffy tail. Still she was a bit of a hoodwinker what with her obsession with trucks and motorcycles.

* * Three-Paw lost her arm to cancer. Apparently she kept getting a tumour on her paw and after six operations the vet said they should amputate or it might mutate to her chest. ( This explains Three-Paw's less than satisfactory road-sense. I had assumed she had lost her paw in a traffic accident and had been disappointed by her non-existent learning curve. Simdi Anliyorum!)

* ** Three-Paw was a beautiful mama in her time. She is neutered now but I have been told she was wonderful with her babies. Sometimes when the old men on the street give her food their eyes mist up as they talk about her life as a mama.

**** And probably the sweetest thing I have learned is that Three-Paw has a name on the street. The locals call her Melek which means Angel...sigh.
