He had his mother on a pedestal, but when she chose another man to share her life with his heart was completely broken.\u00a0 It was a painful time for both he and his dad who worked together and each of them found it difficult to cope except through work and more work.\u00a0 So when the angel cat Whitey wandered into their lives, their emotions became calmer and over time they were able to work through the heartbreak with much-needed comfort that came to them through their new found friend Whitey the cat.<\/p>\n<p>When Keith married us and I say us, because I came as a package deal with three ready-made children we had a cat called Mottel.\u00a0 How he loved our cat (and us of course) and Mottel took to him as though they had been friends for life.\u00a0 We had had Mottel since before my youngest had been born, therefore Mottel must have been at least seven years old when Keith entered the scene.\u00a0 He had gone past the kitten stage and was very much an adult cat \u2013 soft and furry, playful and yet thoughtful.\u00a0 She was very affectionate and I say was because her last moments of life were jumping up into his arms only to collapse half way to her goal back onto the floor having suffered a stroke in that last jump.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for reading my blog.<br \/>\nPlease comment below and share my link.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/debzebooks.com\/amis-de-chat-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Debbie Nicholson<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/debbienicholson.info\/catsinamedicallysupportiverolept2.m4a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here for your Audio link to this blog<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/cgi-bin\/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&amp;hosted_button_id=DG9G3A3M6HCPW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/debbienicholsononline.com\/images\/life-happens-volume-1-3d.png\" alt=\"Life Happens Volume 1\" width=\"165\" height=\"219\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Life Happens Volume 1 A Collection of Funny Emails and Facebook Messages Dating From The 1980s To 2012<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our Favourite Links<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thewellgroomedpet.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cathy&#8217;s Well Groomed Site<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/debzebooks.com\/debbie-nicholson\/thetwokenyaspt4\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Debbie&#8217;s Other Blog<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.catster.com\/lifestyle\/cats-service-animals-laws-ada-emotional-support-therapy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Emotional Support Therapy Cats<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.catster.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cats<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.quora.com\/What-are-some-good-words-to-describe-a-cat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How To Describe A Cat<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/debbienicholson.info\/amisdechatbook2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Amis de Chat Book 2<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/cgi-bin\/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&amp;hosted_button_id=5QMBK9P5UQCEC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-174 size-thumbnail\" src=\"http:\/\/debbienicholsononline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/506-694-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Amis de Chat\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/debzebooks.com\/amis-de-chat-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New Product Launch<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cats In A Medically Supportive Role Pt 2 My husband has always been very fond of cats as well.\u00a0 He has always found them therapeutic as his own mum and dad split up rather badly when he was 25 years old and he took the entire situation and reacted to it as though he were&hellip;
