Hmmmmm...
Just out of the shower, sitting with my Powerbook actually on my lap,
and the first thing in mind is my cat, Juliette. She is the center of
the Universe, the cat to whom all cats aspire. She came to me as a
birthday present 14 years ago.
She has been having trouble jumping up to her special places. She
"climbs" more than leaps up. Before xmas I took her to the vet about
it. They x-rayed her while she was knocked out for teeth cleaning.
That x-ray told the story.
She has a couple vertebrae and a disc that are messed up. Kitty
Arthritis. There is not a whole lot they can do to "fix" it. She has
some meds for pain. He started acupuncture- done with infrared light,
not needles- and she's had two chiropractic adjustments. The
combination is helping much.
Juliette has entered the $60/week level of High Maintenance Kitty
care. My pets are family- cared for lovingly "till death do us part".
I don't NEED many things. We have some bills that should get paid
faster, Whatever!
Miss Juliette is so precious. We've been through all kinds of stuff
together. I love her.
