In reply to the discussion: It Looks Like I Slept In A Raspberry Patch... An Update on the Little Deaf Kitty. [View all]onlyadream
(2,168 posts)39. Last year this exact time we were also in a slump
Husband got laid off, plus a lot of other stuff. And then our little gray kitty came into out lives. My 16yo daughter snuck him in, he was about four weeks old. He had a respitory infection and one eye was sealed shut with puss. He wouldn't let me near him, hissing and spitting (I can't believe I was frightened by a 4 oz waif). THEN....I fed him. Suddenly he became my best friend. He crawled into my arms and that was it. My whole family is over the moon for this little, I mean big, guy (he grew in leaps and bounds). A HUGE stress reliever!!!!

Cats are a little harder. If you point they won't follow your finger, they'll just stare--
