Fear

She has a fever and won’t eat anything. The vet gave her a shot of cat aspirin, and antibiotic pills for the next ten days. If she gets better, it’s probably nothing. If she doesn’t, it’s Feline Leukemia Virus.

She ate a tiny bit when we got home. Then I had to go to a meeting. Then I got drunk for the third night in a row, only this time it didn’t feel good at all.

She hasn’t eaten again since. She is lying on my lap, not purring.

I keep thinking: be well… be well… be well.
