Frankie Weiss and Her MagicChapter Seven: Tales of Johnnie, Bobo & Momo |
||
Due to Momo’s heart murmur, extra hospital stay, food and medicines, etc., the original estimate of about $281.00 escalated to $631.00. And, this was with a 20% discount. Keeping cats, if you love and want them around for years; if you have unforeseen hospital bills concerning their health, sometimes their love and closeness does not come cheap. But, neither Steve nor his Uncle would have it any other way.
So far, the two sets of feline “cousins” have never met. Mainly because both Momo and Bobo had their front claws. Frankie with no teeth or claws and Johnnie clawless would be at their mercy should an altercation erupt. You see, both Frankie and Momo are dominant cats; I would not permit their meeting. Either cat could try to assert their dominance over the other, and more than likely, Frankie would be the ultimate victim, unable to defend her inborn instincts.
I think Johnnie and Bobo would act like kissin’ cousins. Both have gentle dispositions, much unlike Frankie and Momo, who want what they want when they want it. In their cat minds, they come first.
Momo, in spite of a heart murmur, his muscles have muscles
Steven lives alone in a Condo. Just as many other people, male and female of all ages do, a lot of us have cats as pets. As I’ve said in some of these pages, the love and comfort these felines give to us, their keepers, is immeasurable. We cat keepers are doubly blessed, we have their company and we have their love. You can have friends, relatives, and other relationships; but when you close your door and your only company are your animals, you are not alone. Their companionship pays many times over for their upkeep and Veterinarian bills. You are only one of millions who are the keepers of these beautiful feline animals. Somewhere in my memory banks, I remember reading; we keep more cats than dogs, something like fifty-six million depend upon the human being for their care and comfort. That figure alone, should make us proud we are part of a loving and caring society that give their hearts to this beautiful feline, the cat.
