RE: One Problem Solved, A Bigger Problem Pending
Haha, animals are funny, unpredictable creatures... Humans, too, of course :)
Maybe the lesson is not to be too eager to please difficult beings: Patches with the fakeout belly rubs and feral, good-for-nothing Freddie? Let them work for it ;)
Yes that is exactly the lesson! Why do I choose to please difficult beings. I am no heroine who can "save" them. Is my wish to try to make an unloving creature love? It is a blessed task, but I've been there and failed at that. Do I really need to try again? Unfortunately, the creature has my heart. Right now he is in a large carrier in my garage in quarantine and if he has not developed any illnesses by Tuesday, I won't need to continue the rabies treatment. Then I'll have to decide whether to put the frightened and so scary cat back outside or keep him in. If he does get sick, it will mean his end and I'll have to go get many more shots.
Hmm.. who knows. Perhaps, you like a challenge, or do so out of guilt, or a surfeit of love. (I'm not just speaking about the cats ;) When you narrow it down, you'll have a better idea about feline stand-ins. Hope Freddie gets better & you stay well!
