bad cat news

kyo's sick!

i feel like crying...

he's our grumpiest, grouchiest,smartest, most intelligent and most OC cat... so i identify myself with him...

there's a story behind his OC-ness. an ugly duckling story that is. he was the only survivor among KL's (kambing-lambing's) kitties and he's months older than yuki and shigure (that's why he's called kyo, because we had no idea chribrit was pregnant and kyo's the name of the cat in fruits basket). he was so ugly because he was thin and had exopthalmia. we always thought he would die or KL would eat him, but chribrit took him under her wing (or paw for this matter) and he survived. as he grew older, he fattened up and his exopthalmia became less obvious until it was completely "healed". but as he grew more handsome, he became more concious of himself, licking himself everytime someone touches him until it came to the point where he wouldn't let us touch him. but still.. we love him. we love teasing him that we were coming near, attempting to touch him and he would get angry, glare at us and just take out his paw ready to defend his rights.

he's like garfield except he's cleaner and lazier. he looooveeesss good food. he knows when it's expensive and when it's cheap.

even if we seldom touch or play with him (because he won't let us touch his clean and groomed fur), he's still my favorite among our cats.

now, he just lays there. and we know he's sick because he doesn't mind us touching him. and the cat who had a big appetite would stare at his food because he can't eat. we know he's hungry because he attempts to eat, but once food hits his throat he automatically throws up.

you may think this is a useless blog, but you don't know how much respect we have for this cat and the rest of his clan or how attached we are to our pets (including energizer and the rest of the bunnies). he knows when we're just bluffing or when it's real.

sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me---my cats would have to be in trouble to achieve that.

it's just so troubling. now i know how my sister felt when my dad ran over mufasa..

i open people.com and see "the clintons bid farewell to socks the cat" and think, is this a sign? to end this post, i'm putting a picture in the memory of socks the cat and pray that i won't be doing this for kyo soon.
