Please forgive me this post is pre-coffee.

I have a medical condition where I take some medication every morning. I just sort of walk in the bathroom take it and move on. Well my husband was prescribed an anti-biotic a little over a week ago because he wasn't feeling well. An anti-biotic that I am deathly allergic to. As I walked in the bathroom this morning to take my meds 8-Bit nipped my heel. He bit he harder than I was used to, so I turned around to lecture him. As I turned around I realized that I was taking a pill out of my husband's bottle. My allergic reaction is so quick that I would have been on the floor in less than five minutes. My husband is a fairly deep sleeper so I don't think he would have woken up.

My heart is still racing right now. I need to curl up with my gray man today and let him know how special he is.

Clever cat! Give him an extra treat. And have something yourself to calm down. That could have been terrible.

It's 8am and I'm eating chocolate ice cream!


He's getting a big can of tuna today along with a wonderful mixed green salad.

This just doesn't seem real.

So am I.... I promised him that I'd never be late for breakfast again. Ever.

He just smacked DH in the head to wake him up.

I suppose that is payback for putting his pill bottle in the wrong place!

Wow, that's scary Heather. I'm glad 8-Bit has let your DH know not to misplace his meds again. He's a special kitty.

Wow Alright 8-bit you go cat! I think they are intuitive. How scary for you to think of what could have happened. I am glad he stopped you. Your hubby owes him one.

I know... I have no idea how he figured it out. It's freaky moment looking down at the pill knowing that I would have been in the ER if I would have taken it.

What an awesome cat! You are so lucky to have him on the look out for you.

Hope you smack your DH in the head for putting his pills near yours!

I don't really blame him. He was tired and just set them down in the wrong spot. I told him what happened and he sorta freaked out. He now is keeping them in the back bathroom along with all of his other stuff.

Now the poor guy is probably scared. Hopefully he will give 8-bit some extra loving also for saving you.

It is suprising how routine can turn deadly in the blink of an eye.

Anyway, I am very glad you are safe!

That sweet boy just walked in the room, farted, and left.


It's good to know he's back to normal!
