Funny job for The Examiner today of 'Lucky' the cat, his brilliant vet Colman Burke and Colman's brother - the superb Meath Senior Footballer Michael Burke who will miss this weekend's Leinster SFC final against Louth. Michael broke his leg playing against Laois in the quarter final and as sore and uncomfortable as it was and still is, perhaps not as bad as what poor 'Lucky' had to endure, the story (by vet Colman Burke of Royal Pet Vet) is after the photo:
When Meath were last in the Leinster final one young fan thought it would be a great idea to PAINT h...is cat GREEN!!! His mother was very,very upset - naturally .And so to retrieve the situation the young fella decided to wash the cat IN THE WASHING MACHINE..( FYI The door does'nt open until the cycle comes to a complete halt !! ) Unbelievably the cat survived and was suffering from fluid on the chest and exhaustion when we examined him..LUCKY will be around on Sunday for the big game against Louth
