Cats In A Medically Supportive Role Pt 3

Poor Keith, he cried and cried, mind you we had been married 8 years and therefore Mottel was of an age that is quite long for an animal. We of course were not expecting any problems though as why would we because every day you have your cat, and she is just there all the time. I never thought of a cat as being of a certain age. I know on her birthday we took her to the Vet for an annual check-up and somewhere I still have that little birthday card the Vet gave us when we first took her to him when we got her. I will have to hunt around in storage boxes for it and perhaps show it to you when I find it at a later date.

Needless to say, Mottel’s time on earth had come. Keith rushed her down to the emergency Vet as it was 9 o’clock at night and he never came home for hours. When he did, he returned without her and he cried most of the night for our Mottel. The next day he was down to the Vet’s for many more hours after work. After a couple of days, he came home and said he would have to have her put down as she had had a stroke and there was nothing that could be down for her as she was so paralysed and no longer eating or drinking – my poor husband. It is a time in our lives that I will never forget and until I started writing about Cats in my Cat series of books, I didn’t realise the significance of what she had meant to him really, really deep down.

So when one asks about Cats In A Medically Supportive Role I would say yes, they are much needed in our society to fill a gap in someone’s heart in times of severe heart break for sure.

Since then, we have downsized and no longer are able to have a cat in our lives. I know Keith would like one, but how when we don’t have room in our mobile home for one anymore. Even I do not even presume that my own presence in his life could take the place of either Mottel or Whitey.
