Aligar the Comforter

Aligar is my 13 year old, diabeteic, morbidly obese, heart condition, arthritis suffereing and half blind cat. He isn't really lovey dovey but does allow you to pet him. Anyways, I had my gallbladder removed on Monday and got to come home the same day. He jumped up in bed with me and laid next to me, never moving unless it was 5:30 am or pm, when he eats and gets his insulin and does his kitty business. Anyways, everytime I took my medication for pain he would need his "pain pill" too, a couple of kitty treats. He would sometimes get up and come next to my head and purr as he worked his paws to try to make me feel better. I have only had him for just over 3 years and he has been such a joy in my family's like.

Jeannie, what a special cat. So loving. It is so good that you have him there to comfort you when you are hurting. Sue

Jeannie, I to have a feline love of my life. I have had bear for all his 7 years and don't know what I would do without him. Bear is a 24.5 lb male tabby that loves to attach himself to your leg for a trip down the hallway it's very difficult to drag his weight with you....lol. I have migraine headaches every so often and when I have 1 bear seems to know because when I lay down on my bed bear is right there to purr in my ear and he actually kneads my head and temple with his paws. Usually the migraine doesn't last to long with him doing this for me. I give him all the credit for my migraines easing off and not from the medication. I take Cats are wonderful animals and we are blessed to have 1 in our lives.... Take care,Dannette
