Springtime with Betty
I know I haven't been posting much. It's hard talking about Betty
these days. But she's made it to spring! I took a picture of her a few days ago when she started using her warm weather squirrel lookout spot again, which has gone dusty and unused all season. I never thought I'd see her there again: http://mywebpages.comcast.net/Takayu...ettySpring.jpg Betty's fur has filled out here, because she was taken off chemotherapy last month. |

It's a beautiful shot, Tak. I've been thinking about Betty recently. (((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))))) |

All my clothes have blood on them. Betty sometimes sprays me with blood when she shakes her head. It's out of a horror movie. Her regular TED looked at it on Tuesday, but all that they could do was clean and irrigate the area, prescribe antibiotics, and give me a brochure on a local pet cemetery. I remember how while I was waiting at the TED office, I kept hearing, "Is that Betty? Is Betty here? Betty!" I thought they had another pet in the back named Betty that they were playing with, but they told me they were just excited to see Betty. They told me that she was the sweetest cat. |

She's been undertaking all of her activities with a greater intensity than ever before. She's more vocal than before, more cuddly, and even a little more mischievous. She doesn't seem to want to waste a single minute of every day. Betty these days works hard at eating. It's amazing to me that she can still eat at all with that jaw. She tries so hard, but it's still difficult, so she flings food around a lot in a feeding frenzy. Earlier this week, she ran off with one of my chicken wings, and licked the tomato sauce off my spaghetti when I wasn't looking. Another new thing she does is paw at my nose while looking at me upside down, when she's on my chest. Often, it's a bloody paw, but the gesture is still awfully cute. |

I'm so sorry, Tak. Thankful though that you didn't take a picture from another angle. I admit I'm a coward and couldn't bear to look at it. It must be so hard to live with that (well, for Betty too, of course). Wish there was something I could do.

It's so unfair. Just so unfair. -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban.

Purring for Betty's comfort. MLB Thank you. Comfort is a hard issue. Looking at Betty, I can't possibly see how she could be comfortable. Her oncologist felt that it would be cruel to keep her alive - and that was last month. But Betty isn't giving me any sign that she's uncomfortable. It's puzzling, but I'm glad. |

May you & Betty enjoy each other's company for however long you have left. Only you & Betty will know when that time is finally - tragically - at an end. And until that time, treaure and savour every moment. She's beautiful, Tak. I"m glad she found you, even though I know she's breaking your heart at the same time. Life is just so cruel sometimes.
