My morning now has a new routine: get up, feed cat wet food, shower, put in contacts, take meds, inject cat with insulin, praise cat and tell him he’s a good boy, get dressed, find car, brush it off, go to work.
My kitty Drake http://twitpic.com/1l2n6u is a good kitty. We’ve had him since he was a kitten, something like 10 or 11 years ago, and I love him dearly. We lost his foster-brother Gatsby http://twitpic.com/ks6hh this summer, so when Drake started getting sick, I sort of flipped out a bit. We caught it early enough that it’s completely treatable, but it’s going to be expensive.
I’m pondering doing a live-write-athon to raise money to cover vet fees, but that’s about all I know so far about that one: something like $5 buys you 500 words on any topic. That’s… 30,000 words, I think, to cover the vet bills & insulin.
I think I need to get my personal author page re-set-up first, though.
Okay, enough blather. The world can normalize for a few days please?
*hugs Drake and then darts away from claws* I think its a neat idea. That many words falls in the novella length, and while big publishing has trouble with that length, it can work well in epublishing. You may want to consider a cat-themed story. I assuming that people who like reading about cats or cat people are the sort most likely to help a cat out, but I suppose I could be wrong… Also, I figure cat-people would be fun for you.
You are a brave soul. May Drake live long and healthily.
Thank you. He seems to be looking up already, although he’d like the vet visits to stop.
If I were you, I’d be a lot more worried about him if he didn’t mind the vet visits.
Good point!
