<!-- 93 --> These images and clips were taken in the
afternoon, 14 Aug 09. Banana passed away quietly that night at
10.30pm. I had only known her for 2 days.
Banana was driven over by car she was sleeping under about a month
ago. The right side of her body suffered serious fractures with the
jaw and skull area crushed and sunk in. Her head and brain was
damaged and she has lost all orientation. Since then, she can only
stagger forward and will be stuck if she hits an obstacle she
cannot stumble over. She is not able to turn or walk back and will
be trapped there until she collapses from exhaustion.
Most of the time, she will be simply staring into space, oblivious
to everything around her. Or completely collapsed in her cage.That
Banana still finds the strength to walk briefly is a testament of
her incredible will to survive.
She has also sustained severe internal injuries and can only take a
little liquid which has to be dripped slowly into her mouth or she
will choke. She is like a limp doll when handled and completely
pliant. She has also lost all bowel control and needs to be
constantly cleaned of bleeding from her lower regions and jaw
areas.
The owner runs a small factory and has been very hard hit by the
recession. She was unable to has to sent Banana for treatment and
already fully stretched to sustain the 40-odd cats under her care.
Several of them were abandoned at her doorstep.
I took these pictures and clips hoping to start a donation drive
for Banana's
treatment. But she passed away that same night after I took
them.
This is in memory of a very dedicated owner and an extremely
strong-willed and courageous animal.

She has lost control of
her senses and and got stuck in the wall. Also collapsing after
losing balance.

This is very sad. RIP Banana, hopefully her next life will
be better.
