What Pets Can Do: Health and Healing

I thought I would try a bedtime story. On one night about 12 years ago. But not a dark and stormy night, my husband was gone overnight. This was unusual in itself. I was up watching TV. I need you to know here I had bottle fed maybe 30 kittens over the years. I kept hearing a cat. Sounded a little like crying. I went outside and a small but very pregnant gold cat was saying help. She was on the mat at my front door ready to have her babies. I was terrified. I had never delivered babies Unless a chicken counts lol. But she was having trouble. I was afraid I would hurt her but by midnight she had 4 wiggly brats. She let me help but was not real tame and never let me pet her but she stayed and raised her babies here. We had the most beautiful group of gold cats. Two of the babies are still here. They have been showing their age but still like to hunt. Buffy and Muffy are their names.

I love and have raised lots of kittys and pups, but cats are just close to my heart. My oldest now, Boots, is 15 and has been diagnosed with kidney disease. I am watching him fail and at this late stage of my life is just so hard. Boots is my best buddy. He is the only friend I had through the pandemic especially, and I just am heartbroken at knowing he doesn’t have much time. We are never more than a few feet apart. He adopted me about 14 years ago when I lived in the country. Instantly claimed me and the property! Saw him chase a dog out of the yard - what a boy. How tender they keep our hearts!
