Laryngitis and blind kittens

Written by christine on June 26th, 2007 in General.

I not only have to be able to talk to do my work, I love to talk.  Having laryngitis for almost a week was not fun.  I couldn’t even give my dog commands for that time.  I kept quiet, drank not very tasty tea, made lemon juice with honey and really missed my work.  My psychic abilities were working just fine, I just couldn’t share my insights.  I was thrilled when my voice returned.  My screeching cat is finally quiet, she was spayed last week.  Cats are funny, they punish you…..you want to think it’s that they got scared, they’re not sure if they should trust you any more…….I’m telling you, they punish you.  So, Miss Thing would not let me anywhere near her for 24 hours, this does make it hard to check the incision (no rough housing allowed, so you can’t chase them until you catch them).  Of course, I never keep my life simple.  Three days after her trauma, I brought in another cat.  Some neighbors had asked me if I knew anyone that would be willing to adopt a blind kitten.  When I saw the little scrap of fur, it was obvious finding a home would be difficult.  The eyes were closed and obviously infected.  A friend helped with vet’s costs and I took her for fostering.  Of course, I’m keeping her.  It took her all of five hours to get to the water bowl on her own and less than 48 to go to the pan by herself.  She had never been pan trained and had been living in a front yard.  She’s loving, playful and just plain happy.  Except for being completely blind, she’s totally healthy.  One of the many funny things with cats, they pick you.  I don’t care if they’re 8 weeks old or aldut, they pick you, you don’t pick them.  From the first time I saw that kitten, she followed the sound of my voice, even when several people were talking.  I’m the only person she’ll sleep on……you get the picture.
