Car crash cat has face rebuilt

An animal lover has spent £7,500 on complex facial reconstructive surgery for her pet cat after it was disfigured in a car accident.
Tanya Dickson, 41, of Ely, Cambs, had to a forego a new car she had saved up for, to pay for the work on her grey rescue cat "Hetty" - who despite the name is male - after the accident which left it in a coma.
A £2,500 x-ray and MRI scan revealed that the 18-month-old animal's nasal cavity had been shunted to the back of its brain, one eye had collapsed with another dislocated amid countless fractures.
But with round-the-clock care by vets in Kennett, Cambs, and surgery to repair a broken jaw with wire, insert a feeding tube into the cat's neck and stitch one eye shut, Hetty is now back to good health - almost.

How totally cool! It's great to see the love that people have for their "pet children" as well as the assholes that abuse them.
