Now, keep in my mind that I have been taking in felv cats for almost 10 years now, and have had as many as 15 at one time or another
Anyway, I live on my own and I rarely have people over, even my parents. Well, my dog is in renal failure and since I work all day and have class at night, I am gone from before 7 am til 9ish at night, way to long to leave Vino. My mom is retired so she offered to come over everyday and let Vino out for me
This has been going on since mid-January. In the process of letting Vino out, my mom has gotten to know my kitties, something she never did before. Today, I was home and my parents came over (water heater issues
) and I got to see my mom interact with the cats
She gives Atlas kisses
Atlas of course LOVES it, and then some of the kitties were a little freaked out because my dad was also here, someone they don't know, so they were hiding in my bedroom. My mom went looking for them so they would not miss out on their treats and gave them to them behind my bed
My mom has always been a cat lover, she's where I got it from, but she never got to know my cats. Now I think she understands why I do what I do for my babies.
A couple weeks ago, Atlas got very sick, very quickly and I had my mom take him to the vet, not knowing how much worse he had gotten. Well, long story short, the vet recommended euthanization and my mom freaked out. I ended up having to run to the vet's and we made the decision to treat Atlas and he got better (not real happy with that particular vet) and is healthy as a horse now
I tell you what tho, when I got to the office, I thought my mom was going to punch out that vet
She calls the kitties her grandkitties now
and wants to steal Cronus, or Ca-ronus as she calls him
She gives Atlas kisses
