cat talk
i was having an email exchange
with
the smitten image's hilary
about our cats
and
how they react to trips to the vet
it got me thinking
about
how our jack reacts to his inhaler treatments
currently
they're 2x a day
til the higher dose version
which is on order
arrives
he knows
he is getting dose in the morning
usually around the time he gets fed
but
as he leery as he is
of coming too close
getting picked up
and
dosed
he can't stay out of the kitchen
because
he lives for food
his evening dose time varies
we try to catch him unawares
whats funny
to us
is
that
after he gets dosed
he steers clear of us
for hours
when he does permit us to come near
he acts
as
if
he's going to get another treatment
which
by the way
takes as long
as
counting from 1 to 10
he's also very protective of harry
harry who uses his voice very expressively
lately
harry
does
his
where is everyone
cry
a lot
we are always in plain view
when he does this act
jack reacts
he wants to protect harry
from
whatever
whoever
trust me
believe me
were jack
in
trouble or pain
harry
wouldn't lift a paw
he's oblivious to jack's needs
in fact
when
jack is being dosed
harry is very interested in the inhaler
its as if he's thinking
what's he got that i don't
thats
jack
there
he loves to lie on that mat
it was a gift from my friend blogger country girl kate
who bought it for him
from
the other hilary over at crazy as a loom
today
even tho i am writing this on thursday
begins
my fridaycations
this first one
will not
be spent
doing wonderful things
or
even sleeping in
i am going to the dentist
a
preventative appointment
lately
every thing that happens to me
ends up being big and expensive
so
before this weird thing i noticed
turns into more than it is now
i am getting it checked
i would much rather pay now
and
learn its nothing
than
ignore it
and
well, you know …
