Susan Boyle needs a kitty hug

 

When Susan Boyle, the songstress and unlikely superstar found on a British talent show, collapsed recently, tabloids reported she was crying out for her kitty, Pebbles.

This, of course, is something any pet lover can understand -- when you feel really bad, you just want to hold your furry best friend.

Tabloids including The Sun said: "As she entered the clinic on Sunday she called out for her beloved cat, wailing 'Where's Pebbles?' until medics arranged a phone call to the purring pet."

The tabloid quotes an unnamed source saying, "Susan was distraught and convinced they'd taken her cat. She was crying she hadn't fed Pebbles and flapping her arms like a confused child."

Here's hoping Susan feels better soon -- and gets to spend some quality time decompressing with Pebbles.

I have read many negative and cruel comments about Susan and can only put this down to jealousy. In my opinion, Susan is an average woman, just like most of us and has a happy, smiling very pleasant face. What is different about her is she has been blessed with the voice of an angel. I'm just waiting to buy as many CD's as she makes.
Her most loyal friend is Piers Morgan who has only good things to say about her. He is a true gentleman.

I agree with borwin98 totally. Poor Susan Boyle has been under a tremendous amount of stress. I will be buying her CD's too. God bless her -- and you!

God bless Susan Boyle, and give her rest and peace. If that comes in the form of a sweet kitty, so be it!

OMG are you people ever in denial. Piers Morgan is a snake just like his pal Simon. They dangled Susan like a carrot. Who buys CDs anymore anyway? Susan could have left BGT with her dignity intack after her first performance, cut a CD with Simon and make lots of money. Instead she got greedy like her greedy snake pals. Susans got talent and I'm Angelina Jolie. If shes that talented why didnt she got for broke when she was younger? Probably because she's too lazy. She hasn't worked a day in her life and lived off her parents until they passed away. She should actually work for living and know what its like to earn a pay cheque and pay bills that others are paying for her. She has the mentality of a two year old who doesnt know what its like to not get her own way.

It is nice to know she is in the care of people who would understand her need to know her cat was well, and go to the trouble to arrange the phone call to Pebbles. That was so kind of them.

It makes me feel very hopeful for her recovery. It is amazing what a difference caring professionals can make when you need help.

I'm so sick of seeing this ugly fat ***** already!

Susan, take care of your self first! Don't worry because we are all waiting for you to record your first CD. God bless!
p.s. Pebbles is so cute and I would want to hug her too!! I always miss my kitty even when I go out for the day.

I WANT AN AUTOGRAPH FROM PEBBLES.

Susan must not be depressed that she lost the game. She had shown alot of people her talent. And gained lots of fans, count me as one of them.

She's just an average, shy woman who's been under an enormous amount of pressure in the past few weeks. I hope that she has a good rest, that her family takes care of her well, and that she can continue expressing her musical talent without all this superficial, shallow scrutiny about her appearance.

hi all you backstabbers...just go take a running jump off a short pier...

I absolutely love you Susan - your delightful smile and also your wonderful, truly amazing voice.

Many tens of thousands and more in Australia also love you!

Get well quickly and drop that stress that you are currently carrying - it isn't necessary, lovely lady, because you're the very best! We all know, as do the judges, that you deserved to win that contest. The dancers were actually quite good - but for only a two or three minute gig! i.e.: short-lived fame! I'm not deriding their excellent expertise at all - but your singing career would go on for as long as you want it to and for as long as you can perform - for very many years to come.
In very many hearts, you won the competition - and this obviously includes in the hearts of the official judges - surely you already realise that fact.
Never mind your second placing - the judges obviously favoured you greatly and so your career will soar if you wish this to happen. Keep moving forward. Forget the public phone votes (easily rigged by muliple phone votes of the friends of a multi-numbered competitive dance group - albeit quite proficient at what they do).

I hope that you receive this message, Susan - because I really do sincerely want to support you and hope that I will one day soon be able to purchase your first CD albumn.

You have an amazing voice, my dear.

Good luck and God bless - and much good luck to you.

It's so unfortunate that there are always nasty comments from nasty people in this world! Such a pity.
The only thing to do is to ignore such negative comments and hope that such negative people will become happy again - somehow!

I agree, Dawn, and feel you are very charitable in your comments about nasty people. Personally, while I realize that I can allow or not allow myself to become angered by their attitudes, it is difficult not to respond in kind. I can certainly understand how Susan felt the need to lash out, and feel the media dealt with it in an unfair and one-sided way. It is very sad that people who are different can elicit such mindless haatred in others.
While ignoring such comments is a solution, treating them with the disdain they deserve seems more appropriate. Therefore, I say - go piss up a rope, you lot of wankers!

A harrowing tale of what it was like to make homemade pet food ...
