Flying High as a Kite...

When it came to the genetic pool, our cat Sam drew the short straw.  She's had arthritis since she was young, has kidney issues and has struggled with her weight forever.  This winter, her arthritis is acting up more than usual and she's been limping a lot.  It's heartbreaking to watch.  However, her vet prescribed some new pain medication and she's now flying high as a kite!  (You can tell when she's on it because her pupils are almost completely dilated.)

Check out those pupils!

The medication has been really helpful and I'm so grateful for it.  Sam's motor has been going almost non-stop and she's getting around really well now.  She's also very, very happy on it, almost like when she was a kitten.

One thing I've learned though is not to give it to her late in the day or she spends all night trying to rub her face against mine.  Let me tell you, she REALLY needs a kitty breath mint!

Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
