She made firends with everyone, including the vets that treated her. Her &#8216;official name&#8217; was Meowth, but she only ever answered to &#8216;Puss&#8217;, at which she&#8217;d come running.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2252\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2252\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.piglet-net.net\/pigblog\/?attachment_id=2252\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2252\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.piglet-net.net\/pigblog\/images\/\/meowth1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"One of my favourite photos: sadly, crappy phonecam in poor light.
