Yesterday was a bad day for me. I went to a follow-up doctor visit and they wouldn't let me out of the office! My blood pressure was so low that it scared even me 90/50 when it typically is 120/60 without wavering. Now, I knew why I was so tired lately and couldn't even drag myself off the couch. They put me through all types of tests, took a lot of blood and finally let me go home as long as I promised to take it easy. Like I could do anything else? I was whipped and just wanted to sleep.
I was laying on the couch when Kabota (one of my bottle babies) came bounding into the room. Normally, he launches himself on top of me with his claws spread (for traction I guess! LOL) But, this time, he stopped and just sat there contemplating me. At least I felt like I was being contemplated. Then, he raised himself up so that his face was level with mine, and he very delicately licked my nose, head bumped me, and instead of leaping on top of me, he settled down on the carpet next to the sofa and slept there all day, safeguarding me I guess. I fell asleep soon after, and Mike told me later, that Kabota chased off all the other cats when they came in wanting mom's lap. Somehow ever since he has arrived here, he and I have connected on a level unlike any other cat I have ever had. He is so good at reading me, and when I am in a sour mood, he can always make me laugh. This is the first time I have been seriously ill since he came, and he knew I was hurting and that having even his weight on me would hurt, and it would have. There is just nothing like this type of Kitty Love!
For me, it was just what the doctor ordered!
