zippy is cycling between good and bad days. whenever i brush her stinky self real good she purrs and screams with delight (and yes drools of course). she smells so bad because the necrotic tissue on the tumor that they can not clean off because she would probably not do well with anesthesia, and even if she did it would grow back in a short time. necrotic tissue boils down to dead rotting flesh . she does not smell herself according to the vet and phuzz and baQuer don't seem at all offended by the odor. anyway i don't care if she stinks as long as she is still getting pleasure from living and not suffering. but on her bad days i wonder if i am deluding myself and being unfair to her by keeping her going because i don't know how to lose her. 19 years, half my life, she has aggravated me, how can i let her go, but i can't keep her alive for my selfish needs if she is suffering. on her good days she comes down from her cupboard, sits in the sun, scratches the scratch stuff and purrs and EATS! EATS WELL! on her bad days i climb up to the cupboard and talk her in to tasting and trying a few bites, and think she eats for me for the same reason i eat when mamavitz is knudging me, to shut me up and make me happy or in my case to shut up mamavitz and make her happy. so as i said zippy
is cycling between good and bad days, but yesterday zippy did not just
have a good day, she had a GREAT DAY! i was having a fantastic game with
baQuer and the kitty
tease (a long pole, with a long string, and feathers attached at the
end that when swung just right can almost be a bird!) so there i was teasing
the kitty with said kitty tease. baQuer chased, leaped, and jumped, even
flew all to no avail, i was just too good a tease swinger for him to catch
those elusive feathers. baQuer was in mid-flight after the "bird"
when suddenly from under my coffee table came a swift skilled black paw
catching the bird like the talented hunter she was in her youth ZIPPY!
it was a truly beautiful moment until mid-flight baQuer came crashing
down upon poor zippy's head. don't frown about the head crashing though,
you better believe zippy gave that young whippersnapper what for as she
still held her feathered prize. |
