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.
