Awaiting his Christmas bonus--catnip!
This is my Vice Pawsident, aka Lou. As far as I am concerned, Lou came to me as a tiny kitten- gift from the Universe, and one of the best ones I’ve ever gotten, at that.
I was at a particularly low point in my life when he arrived, but that mattered not to him, so long as I kept him fed, warm and dry. Even then, I almost lost him, twice. Lou turned out to be hypoglycemic.
A lot of people would have said that Lou is not worth an extra bit of trouble, but, he adds so much joy into my life that I happily give over the few extra minutes each day it takes to manage his condition, which basically amounts to making sure the food dish doesn’t run out and making sure he has some blankets to snuggle in so he doesn’t get cold–even in the summer!
Lou is quite unusual for a cat. He walks on a leash, he plays fetch, and he travels like a dream. His downside is that he’s opinionated as all get-out, and is very picky about whom he will socialize with, be they of either a two or four-legged persuasion.
Lou has taught me rather a lot about trust, love, and how to deal with asshats.
