This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for January 06, 2009:
I celebrate discovery -- not just discovery of worlds or new species, but discovery of self, one's own truth. One of my kitties is not doing well, but she is old (no one knows just how old, she found me one cold winter night) and I struggle with my social training to take her to a veterinarian (which she will hate no matter what) and my innate understanding that she just wants to handle whatever is going on with her without my interference thank you very much. If she chooses to die, I know she wants to die here at home among my things where she has had ultimate comfort and spoilization (<=== discovery of new word). I might succumb to the temptation to have a veterinarian tell me what is going on, but I will not do that today. I want to listen for what she wants. barbara

How is your kitty now? I agree with your assessment of what she prefers. My cats are the same way.
She is eating, sleeping, and being her usual annoying self … but there is still this bare spot on her belly where she licked all the hair away. I think she had an infected mammary gland. So I will wait and see if the hair starts to grow back or if another infection starts up … thanks for asking, Carla :) barbara
