Pets Are Love-in-Action

Our pets are a lot like our children.

We love them from the moment they come into our lives.

Sometimes they frustrate us but we always forgive them.

They make us smile. They fill our hearts with pride and love.

They can be expensive but are worth every dime we spend on them.

They love it when we feed them and they crave occasional cuddling.

My own beloved Honey Cat can be real persnickedy. (Not my children though. ha!)

 Here, when I ask her to look at me so I can snap her photo, she ignores me.

And here, she seems to be saying, "Take a profile shot."

Just like our kids, we can never have enough photos of them!

A few weeks ago, our cat (Honey Cat), was viciously clawed by a neighborhood bully cat.

What I didn't know is that the attack caused a huge abscess. She didn't eat for four entire days  and had a fever.  Worried sick, I brought her to the vet.

The abscess had to be drained, she had to get a shot of antibiotics and some liquid for dehydration, an updated rabies shot, and two kinds of drugs to help calm her down.

That was a most dreadful afternoon.

Now Honey Cat is totally on-the-mend and I am so relieved she didn't die. A part of my heart would have gone with her if things had turned out differently.

Honey Cat, a fierce tigress, also likes to relax in the lap of luxury and that is just fine with me.

I'm just happy she lived to meow about it.
