Inspiring Photo: Mosby the Korat #12762750

Mosby the Korat

Uploaded: February 19, 2012 12:52:21

Description

My little Mosby is currently in the ICU at the vets and may loose his tail. He is a Korat and named Mosby for John Singleton Mosby who was the "Gray Ghost" of the Confederate Army. He was the first of the stealth fighters and my Mosby was much the same. This time he got injured on one of his attacks on another of my cats and got his tail bit trying to get away. Abscess is drained, on antibiotics but only time will tell the tale (or is it the Tail). He is a very valuable rescue kitty.

What a terrible tale about the tail of your Mosby, Emile! I hope he does get better real soon, and that he won't lose his tail! I love the coloured rug he is sitting on here, it really makes his grey fur pop against it! #9993504

How are things going? Did the tail have to be amputated? Sad. I hope Mosby is better now. What a beautiful kitty! Look at those ears! :) Bet he never misses a sound!

Love it!

Do you know your Lake Louise and Banff Springs Townsite dates yet? If so can you drop me a BP mail? We are gone A LOT in the summer Emile. Hope it will work out to see you folks.

We just found out that Tunnel Mtn campground in Banff Townsite is closed for the season and will only have a few spots opened for first come first serve...We were very sad about that. It's a favorite place for us to camp each summer now.

BUT we will go to Lake Louise for sure. Just don't know when yet. Us knowing your dates in Lake Louise might help us decide, "if" we can get a spot. :))

Emile Abbott March 14, 2012

Hi Laura, We have not gotten the dates yet nor the schedule but as best I can predict we will be in the area (Jasper, Lake Louise, Banff, Jasper) between July 31 and Aug 4th. I will let you know exactly when we get the schedule. #10037841

Laura E. Swan March 14, 2012

Boy, make sure you have tons of empty photo cards and your batteries are charged up to the hilt for this portion of your trip! How exciting! :D Thanks for keeping me posted, Emile!
