As a veterinarian I am always interested in reading about animals, and my passion for history leads me to some interesting books. I recently discovered a book published in 1868 by Charles Henry Ross, titled 'A Chit Chat Book of Cats.' In it was a chapter on cat health which was quite an eye opener. It was with a wry smile that I read:

‘In giving a cat the scrapings of dirty plates, it is as well, if you value the animal’s life, to the fish bones, should there be any among the leavings.’

Mr Ross goes on to describe the trauma to pet and owner of a fish bone getting stuck, something he had first hand experience of. Whilst staying with a lady friend, her cat suffered for three days from a stuck fish bone, refusing all food and not even able to lap. Eventually, at her wits end, the owner called on the help of a veterinarian.
