I'm not a big animal person myself, although they seem to really like me. I don't mind them or anything, I just don't want to own them. I have a sort of grandparent attitude toward them. I like to give 'em back when I'm done.
That's me.
I like animals, but I'm not exactly an "animal-lover"...
I do have one animal right now that I'm "praying" over...I wouldn't say I'm praying for the cat, I'm just asking the Lord to help me do what is right concerning the cat.
Mr. Cat has a mysterious seasonal skin allergy that makes him fly into a frenzy at odd moments and bite himself. He can't help it, and we can't do much to help his bites heal until he's good and ready to leave them alone. Usually this only happens in the spring; this year it happened again in the autumn, and now he's starting to do it all over again in winter...
Right now he has a sore that is worse than usual, I've been cleaning it every day and its not helping. He's bitten people by accident before when he's in a "fit", bad bites, and I don't want someone to get hurt by him again...like me...
So I'm wanting to have him put to sleep, but then I'd have to explain to the vet why I want to kill my cat whose only problem is an itch...
And I keep thinking, since he's healthy in every other way,
maybe this time the sore will go away,
maybe I'll find some way to keep it under control...he's a great cat, I like his personality, always so friendly and talkative (maybe I need a people-friend instead?) and if only I could fix this one little problem, I wouldn't have to get rid of an otherwise great pet...
