WHISKERS THE WISE
Whiskers is our oldest but, okay, he's not necessarily the
wisest of cats. He is quite a remarkable little fellow.
He was diagnosed with feline leukemia three years ago, and
is supposed to be sick. His retinas are becoming detached
so he can't see as well as he used to, but he can tell
when turkey sandwiches are happening in the kitchen!
The first year he was sick we felt sorry for him and spoiled
him badly with bits of turkey when we made school/work
lunches. The bits of turkey have become entire packages
and he wants this turkey every single day whether we go
to school or work or not! Hmmmm, maybe he's smarter than we thought!
But we are happy to continue spoiling him. Who knew he
would last this long? We're just glad he has! The only
problem we're encountering is that the other cats have
noticed the free turkey handout and are loudly demanding
some for themselves!
So some mornings it's a cacaphony of
cats in the kitchen.
