I'm a worried Panda
My Tanis is getting a little thin. Hes getting a little slow and he sleeps a lot. I can feel his spine a little more pronounced than it ever was and hes just not looking too great. I know the signs of an aging cat and I know I've had him for over 10 years now, so I can admit that its happening. Somehow saying it outloud does not make it easier. His sister on the other hand is fine. I was there when they were born I took them both home when they were six weeks old and they have been with me since then. I must admit (tho most moms never will) I have a small preference for the fat boy. He's so aloof and so fat and so "I just dont give a damn" and I like that in my men. HA! The little one is so eager to love and so happy go lucky and sometimes that gets on my nerves. Anyway, I've always planned on getting two paw prints tattooed on me when they pass. A larger one for Tanis and a little smaller one next to it for Tika. I didn't think the time would pass so fast and I might be having a tattoo this soon. Theres a dark day coming, not quite on the horizon yet but I can smell it on the wind now. The only good thing about it is that now, I pay even more attention to him and lay with him while I watch TV. I know someone out there understands, understands exactly how much a stupid fat black cat can mean to someone like me.
