I work 18 to 20 hours a day, seven days a week, so I don't have time for a social life. Or any life outside work.
From Celia Hammond
A lot of friends have given up on me.
Even though I need only two or three hours' sleep a night, there are never enough hours in the day.
When I was young, I preferred dogs, but when I moved into a flat when I was 18, it wasn't practical to have a dog. So I got a couple of kittens, and that was it.
People simply shouldn't buy puppies without a breeding certificate.
People buy a cat and think, 'Oh that's a beautiful collar. I'll put that on,' but that doesn't make them a responsible pet owner.
On collar wounds, we normally manage to save them, but they can take weeks to heal because they're so deep, and they sort of grow into the flesh under the arm.
Everyone says I should leave it. But of all the cats I have saved, the one I remember is the one I can't catch.
It's the bedsit culture: people get a cat, and then, in a few months, when they move on or go travelling, they just throw the animal out. It's so discouraging.
People's financial situation has changed, and they surrender their cats all the time, because they're downsizing or moving to a property where they are not allowed to have pets.
