Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / November 2008Kitten nurses
Because I wasn't hungry last night, the kittens have decided I must be sick. So they went to bed with me and cuddled up close. Every time I woke up (due to tails brushing my face or whiskers up my nose). Brother and Sister were both in my face - "Are you okay? Are you still sick? Here, let us help. We'll purr for you. We'll rub up against you. We'll let you pet us!" I think they are just a little too enthusiastic to be nurse kitties just yet, although they seem to have just the right touch for hospital nurses ("here, wake up and take this sleeping pill"). Still, it was nice to know that the bratlings were so concerned over my lapse in appetite (big grin), and were willing to pull the night shift. In fact, when I woke up this morning, Brother all but told me "night shift is over - call your day nurse." Poor me - abandoned by my bestest nurses... Hugs and Purrs, Mark <snip> > Every time I woke up (due to tails brushing my face or whiskers up my > nose). Brother and Sister were both in my face - "Are you okay? Are > you still sick? Here, let us help. We'll purr for you. We'll rub up > against you. We'll let you pet us!" Heh. *My* nurse believes firmly that the best cure for an upset tummy is to plant her very substantial self directly on that tummy and direct tickly, whiskery purrs into the sufferer's face - and then express great offense when dumped off said tummy in a hurry because it insists upon being emptied *at once!* <snip> Baird  SignatureBumper sticker: "If you can't operate your turn signal, what makes you think you can drive the rest of the car?" > just yet, although they seem to have just the right touch for > hospital > nurses ("here, wake up and take this sleeping pill"). Oh my goodness, what a cute story! We have four nurse cats in my clowder, now that my sister and her boyfriend brought their two down from Indiana. Tina takes care of my sister's boyfriend; Rosco takes care of my sister; Kitty Schottland takes care of my dad; and Lilith Kitten takes care of me! And, except for a few brief staring matches, everyone's getting along! If only my mom could have lived long enough to see this ... The part about waking up to take the sleeping pill reminds me of what my mom said the nurses did to her 32 years ago when she went into the hospital for a week to have my sister. My mom, a light sleeper by nature and especially when she's away from home, requested a sleeping pill. She used to nod off every night around nine or ten p.m. Around 11:30, the night nurse would wake my mom for a sleeping pill. My father and my maternal grandmother just couldn't see the humor in that. For some odd reason, my mom and I thought being woken for a sleeping pill was hysterically funny.

I was in to have a cyst removed from the base of my spine, and the nurses kept waking me up to ask if I wanted a pain pill, or a sleeping pill... after about the third or forth time, I sat up in the bed and said "DUH!... If I wasn't in pain I could sleep quite well thank you!... Please quit waking me to ask that question"... I was allowed to sleep very well that night. :~) > Because I wasn't hungry last night, the kittens have decided I must be > sick. So they went to bed with me and cuddled up close.

And the baby searching the house for dog toys that had not been put up. Daughter knows darn good and well her daughter is going to be playing fetch with the dog as soon as she is on her feet and can through the ball. Just as long as she doesn't have to watch. We went outside a few times where mom couldn't see us so Emily could pet the cats. Jo |
