ORIGINAL: Duskypearls My life would certainly would have suffered without them. I always say Viktor and I saved each other. I needed something to take care of, and he needed taking care of. Those times I've been physically hurt, he's been right there. Even when I have bad cramps, he curls up right next to me and purs. And OMG does he make me laugh. This morning he was batting a little piece of foam up and down the hall - pouncing, meowing at it, chasing it in fast motion....it was hilarious. Now he's just curled up on the foot rest part of my recliner. Sweet boy he is. Ah, how very true and beautiful, Nueva. I am quite sure, were it not for cats, and many other animals, domestic, farm and wild, I would have been gone long ago. Like you, when unable to care enough about myself to keep going, I always had them, that I might care for them and have that responsibility to them, which gave me purpose to keep going. I know it was selfish, but I fortunately NEVER did it at their expense, as too many humans do. I was always sure to meet their needs; mental, emotional, physical and social. Yep, they've saved me more than once. And when I've been hurt, physically or otherwise, they always come to assist. What incredible little healers some of them are! A friend of mine has 3 Chihuahua's. One of them, Nacho, is such a naturally born, powerful healer, he literally takes on what the others often cannot (humans as well). When Ellie was recently Rabies vaccinated, as her nervous was so sensitive (even before the vaccine), Nacho took on 2 sets of seizures, which were, and would have been, hers, had he not taken them on. What an incredible critter he is.
