A Lesson In Trust

Hello Purrfect furriends!!
It’s me, Luna…How are you all doing? I’m doing so good! I helped my daddy figure out that a bird fell into our fireplace! I told him it was there and I got him and I got mommy and we all were listening and looking with a flashlight! Daddy found it and he got it out and saved the day! If I was wild and in the outdoors, I might want to eat the little fellow…but since I’m fed and loved, why shouldn’t he be also? So I decided that I should let them know about the little chirper and save the day! It feels good to be a heroine sometimes. Although it’s still pretty fun to drop a bird at the feet of the hoomans we love, isn’t it? MOL…(**MOL= meow out loud)
I didn’t have a very purrfect day on Caturday! I was laying in mommy’s arms and she was giving me love. It was such a wondfurful Caturday morning and then daddy was worrying me a little…I perked my ears up and my whiskers moved and my eyes got as big as saucers….He’s usually a pretty good daddy and he loves me, so I trust him…It’s hard for me to trust because I came from a bad and abusive hoarders home.  I trust him none the less…but he came from nowhere and whisked me into this black nylon “purse” thing (carrying crate)! I didn’t know where I was going or what was going to happen to me. I was being very brave continuing to trust this hooman who’s not my #1 but my #2 hooman! We left mommy at home…she was letting water come out of some holes on her face! She seemed very sad so I didn’t know if I should worry about her or worry about me!???
We drove awhile but daddy was reassuring. He touched the open sides of the “purse thing” and spoke softly and gently to me. We arrived at our destination and there were about 7 animals in a line and then daddy was very smart!! He had brought a fold up chair and put me in my case on his lap. We stayed there for a long time until they called my name “LUNA STEWART”!??!! Daddy got up and took me into a room, that looked vaguely familiar! This nice man and lady petted me and spoke softly to me and I sorta liked it and I was purring…UNTIL SUDDENLY….the man picked me up like I used to pick up my babies in the back of the neck!! I was thinking “WOAAAHHH…HOLD ON THERE BUDDY!! Do you know who I am?? I’m Luna….Queen of the House!!” He pretty much told me that I was not Queen of his house..MOL…then he POKED ME IN THE BEHIND!!! Much to my surprise!! I hissed at him because it all happened so fast and it kinda smarts!! OUCHHHHHHEY WAAA WAAA!!
Finally, after 2 whole hours (because it was the low cost shot clinic day and everyone was there and there feline brother and their canine sister and all of their feline and canine aunts, uncles, kids, cousins and everyone else who cannot afford the $52.00 exam fee AND the shot fee, were there! Everyone was standing in this long line that went out to the street! I mean there were cats and dogs of all breed, shape and size! A nice German shepherd came up to my little “window” on my “purse” and she said “Hi” to me …and I said “Meap” to him…he was OK…but then this big burly dog with a spiked collar came up to me and I scratched and hissed at him through my cage! *Daddy thinks maybe this was the kind of dogs that were at the “hoarders” house where I used to live?? The dogs were starved and they started thinking of us Felines as “dinner”…and I mean it…some of my BFF’s were “dinner” for some hungry Pit Bulls! It wasn’t really their fault, I was hungry also!! But just the same, I didn’t want him near me!!! ( OH and BTW..just FYI…I mean…if something happened to me (God Forbid)..Mommy and daddy have an insurance card for just me…but for medical emergencies and stuff that I hope to never have! So I will always be taken good care of…but they didn’t really have the extra money for the cost of the exam AND my 3 year distemper booster shot!)
After all of that…the Dr and the nurse petted me afterwards, and all was well in the world again and I sounded like a freight train, they told daddy; because I was purring so loudly! MOL…MOL…We went home and we walked in …well Daddy walked in and I was still in the ridiculous “purse” thingy! Mommy was waiting for us, especially for ME…MOL…she gave me my breaf-gast and I gobbled it up slurping all the way!!! Then I went to my spots: the side window…the door wall window…the bay window seat box with the fluffy pillow for me to lounge all day on!!! Everything was as it should be….except….my mommy had wet eyes??? HMMM…Not sure what that’s for?? But all in all, I’m “HOME” and that’s all that matters…..What I learned today…or on Caturday…was just one more lesson on “trust”. I trust them more now because they took me out and brought me back to my furrever home, where mommy was waiting for me!!! I was so happy to see her and eat my “breaf-gast…..she pet me awhile and and snuggled on me and gave me another drink from the silver spout that is in their hooman’s “eating room”. That silver thing that water comes out of and I either bat at it or drink, depending on my mood or thirst levels!
Thank you for coming to my “Kitty Cat Diaries”….I’m learning about trust more and more each day that goes by and they show me how much they love me!! G’nite Furrriends!!! Purr at ‘cha later!
Love, Luna Skye
