“Have compassion for everyone you meet, even if they don’t want it. What seems conceit, bad manners, or cynicism is always a sign of things no ears have heard, no eyes have seen. You do not know what wars are going on down there where the spirit meets the bone.” ~ Miller Williams
My Lilly has never been the most healthy kitty, but she has always, always, always been spunky no matter what. That changed today. She stopped eating Monday or Tuesday, and lethargy was obvious by this morning. A trip to the vet, without a firm diagnosis unfortunately, some fluids along with steroid and antibiotic shots seems to have brightened her eyes. She ate and drank the moment we walked in the door, and before long, she was purring and curling around my ankles like the cat I know. She’s an odd cat in so many ways, but I have adored her from the moment I set eyes on her as a four month old kitten that just appeared on my front porch one night. We’ve been together ever since, nearly eight years now. I remain positive for her recovery.
