Moments D445: Healing Cuteness

Ma-ku, my kitten, is back from the vet and, thankfully doing well.  She's been quite a cutie as she's been healing and today's moment is just a reflection upon those cute moments.

Ma-ku used to like to lay on my chest when she was a wee thing.  As she grew, she understood that she was too big to sleep on my chest any more and the behaviour changed.  She'd be on my lap, or lay partially on my legs, but she wouldn't bother climbing up to my chest and neck area.

Well, since she's been home, that's the only place she wants to be.  In fact, I fell asleep with her late last night (early this morning!) with her on my chest and woke with her in nearly the same position.  Tonight as I tried to eat my dinner in front of the TV, she tried to crawl up again.  I'm sure when I crawl into bed she will follow and lay upon my chest for another night.

She's sore and slow from the medications, but she is happy and purring.  Tomorrow we take a quick trip back to the vet to have her pain medication patch (it works like a nicotine patch) wrapped around her tail.  Hopefully that isn't too traumatic to head back to the vet again so soon.

Moments enjoying that kitty is home again.

Moments being amazed that even animals can be sucky when they aren't feeling well.
