Honey Chain

one year ago today, i left the vets office with a broken cat. the vet was very dramatic as he implored me not to let her suffer, to bring her back and put her to sleep. i had no intention of letting her suffer but i also could not just put her to sleep. i had to do, try something.

i did what i could and today, boo is pretty good. she’s still broken. she may never be “normal” again, but she’s not suffering. she plays. she still eats anything you put in front of her. she’s a lover and, sometimes, a fighter. it doesn’t seem to bother her that she can’t jump up on the counters anymore or that she has a nasty tremor or that she doesn’t have as much control over her movements as the other cats. she has sunbeams on the floor, her favorite catnip toy and her dogs. she is just fine.

boo looks pretty darn good for a cat 365 days past her expiration date.
