RE: Steemit Minnow Support: Do I need to Design Every Blog Post?
Thank you for stopping by @shadowspub and letting me know about your post. That is so cool! Love the cat photo too. Kind of looks like she's a little bored and up to no good.
She is often up to no good when she's not sleeping or demanding cuddling from me. She's a part Maine Coon ... she didn't get the size but she does have the personality.
They can be demanding that is for sure. I have a rescued cat from outside, her mother was ran over, my husband found her cold and wet. Tiny little thing. She was very sick when he first brought her to me. Vet visit she had a chest cold and they were unsure if she would make it. I nursed her day and night for 4 weeks. Finally her chest cold cleared, she began eating better and loved her milk replacement. Not to mention cuddling. That was about 4 or 5 years ago. Now, if I am working she'll jump up here and declare it Melody time by trying to climb onto my computer. But, it never falls whatever she does she knows she is my baby and who to run to when she isn't feeling good.
they do seem to bond with one person in the household. Dawn is very much my cat. When I was in hospital she appeared briefly once when the people came in to feed them and then hid. She would not reappear until I was home and even then it took her a while to relax that I was home and staying.
Colds in cats can be dangerous. Once they lose their sense of smell and stop eating they can go downhill fast. Kudos to you for nursing her back. No wonder she bonded with you. I had a cat that would get a cold on occasion, he got a small dose of Buckley's cough syrup, spit most of it out and got enough into him to break it fast.
I will admit it was touch and go for a while in the beginning. She was part wild since she had her eyes open already. But, I was taught from a young age how to deal with that situation. Melody came around quickly and is now known as my princess cuddle bug.
Trying to give a kitten medication to save their lives is difficult. She never wanted to cooperate but, now she might get the sniffles and believe it or not she will wait until I put eucalyptus in the infuser and sit right beside it. It is as if she knows breathing it will open her sinuses up and she will stop sneezing. Smart cookie this one.
Every time, I jump on the computer to work she'll lay down right beside me. Knowing at some point I will want cuddles. What can I say she's my baby.
Don't ever try giving them benadryl they foam at the mouth and its freaky. LOL. Crazy how it works so well for them but, it makes them foam and look extremely sick for a few moments until you get them some water down.
