Kady now

My new kitty Kady has stopped waking up and looking around, frightened at strange surroundings. Now she knows where she is and sighs

I wonder how many times this young cat has had to move. My vet says she was hit by a car and broke her leg, pelvic area and jaw, but the injuries healed possibly in the wild. Sometimes Kady drags her leg. As she eats, food flies out of one side of her mouth sometimes. She tosses her head to swallow.

I marvel at her trust as she looks at me, eyes wide, with more recognition each morning.

She asked me to feed her last night for the first time. Yes, I said, I'm the Cat Mommy around here. She blinked at me and followed my wheelchair. And yes she is afraid of wheels.

She has good reason to be. But we will teach each other how to be with that.
