Wisdom gleaned from the Feline

So, we shaved her.  My 16 yr old "princess" has been shaven from her ribs to her hips to expose all needed room to let the ultrasound doc (who was wearing a Patek Phillippe) tell me how much longer I have with her.  Apparently it is at least 3 years or better, which means it is settled that I will have my first child before "baby girl" passes away.  As long as we follow through with therapy and meds, and as long as we alter "my sweet's" diet to something conducive to her needs--which include potassium as she is in renal disease stage 1, she will become an old, old "little munchkin."  "Ninja" has been with me through 10 moves, a divorce, some serious relationships, and a marriage, two new kitties and two new puppies, ...drama, ...intrigue and all gamuts of emotional circumstances.  "Bleue bird" has been my rock and only stable thing through 16 years of my life.  I owe "the wee one" duty and reward.  And though her tiny belly is now shaven, "sweet pea" is still just as beautiful as always. It's just that Bleue's little grey belly looks funny against her long, shiny black hair surrounding it.  It's no wonder she is sitting atop floor vents and adamantly seeking heat-in-force for that petite 6 lb frame, which has to be chilly now that 1/3 of it is minus hair.
