Nothing like a nice nap on Mom’s lap! Absolutely the best!
I’ve been very worried about Mom for some time now. There was a sort of funny smell to her and I stayed with her wherever she went in the house and always, always slept on her lap when she sat down. Sometimes I even braved the closed bedroom door to sleep on the bed with her, or just be near her. I just felt that something was not quite right.
Finally, she went to see a vet, or as she calls it, a doctor. She came back smelling even odder, so I stuck by her some more. She said they poked a hole in her. Awful!!
Last week, she went to a place called a hospital for the day and came back smelling even stranger, if that’s possible. However, the first funny smell seems to be gone. She has been wearing some unusual pieces of clothing (as if they all weren’t strange!), but I stayed with her. The smell seemed to come from her left milk holder and the under part of the arm near it. I smelled both those places thoroughly and then rubbed against them and curled up on them to keep her warm. I purred to help her heal. I think it is working. Mom says that she really appreciates all I do for her and loves it when I come up in her lap and do the purr cure, and says that she is healing very well.
Please, Mom! Don’t leave me. I need you. I love Dad, and I even am fond of Mina, but I love Mom the most, since I have known her for so long. What would I do without her? It was bad enough losing Cherokee, but I would not survive losing Mom, too. Mom keeps telling me that she is going to be just fine, that they took all the bad stuff out and she is healing well and will be as good as new very soon. She says that she still needs to do more stuff to be sure she will stay okay for the rest of her life. Will there be new strange smells? I will keep purring the cure as long as it takes to make her healed and well.
I don’t think Mina has even noticed the smells. She spends more time with Dad and certainly hasn’t known Mom as long as I. Of course, she would miss Mom, but she would get over it before long, especially if she had Dad. She is young and is still capable of handling all sorts of things. I, on the other hand, am not. I am no longer flexible, either in my mind or in my body. Maybe if I lost a little weight . . .
Mom got up real early this morning to go see the vet/doctor, and she says she has to get up even earlier tomorrow – something about a balloon. I think Mina had a balloon once. I just can’t figure out what a balloon has to do with Mom’s milk holder. Perhaps I heard incorrectly. I also heard another new word from her – radiation. What is it? Mom says she is afraid of it, but feels she must do it (whatever it is). I guess maybe we shall see.
Well, I think it’s time for another nap, once I have finished eating my supper. Dad is home and will be feeding us soon.
Yours,
Apache
