i am so grateful for having been able to get myself resided in such a beautiful place as #boaventura #madeira
i wanted a cat again since i had to let my little hochi go back in Varna, i never even hardly got to see him grow up, he was like maybe 3 months old when i left, after the war started in ukkraine
i can make complaints about how the vet did not seem to understand that i knew my little #mochi the #catstr was in a moderately painful position, but i won't, i will more focus on why i knew - i adopted a rescue cat, a little medium hair black female, i called her "bastet" after the egyptian goddess, and she was pretty awesome but she was not entirely happy
i also had to leave her behind, and my mother was kind enough to allow her to stay in the house and at some point for reasons i forget, she got some doctoring and they said she needed dental care because she had a case of chronic gingevitis
my mother reported to me that after getting the surgery, she became extremely cuddly and was so much in need of her lap that my mother found it problematic because she was interfering with her ability to do her main activity, being textile arts, spinning and knitting mostly, and she ultimately sought a new keeper for her and bastet went elsewhere...
this was ... hmm so i think she was a year old about 2008, i recall that year clearly, because i did a lot of forex trading that year and mastered making a consistent profit, and i learned not to be mean to cats that year, after one day getting cranky at her for crying to me... because her litter tray was dirty and i didn't know this but girl cats can't stand to use a litter tray that they can smell their pee in
so, yeah, i miss her, and i wish i could show you a photo of her beautifully posed sitting on top of a rolled up futon with her arms (haha, front legs) crossed looking so pretty
and she had an ongoing problem with her gums that once it was fixed, she became an extremely adoring little girl, and i'm sure that the people who took her loved her, because after she was rescued and i took her and she got her gums sorted out, she would have been a totally adorable little lap kitty for anyone whose work did not make that problematic
girl cats are also extremely affectionate, they need pats more than boy cats
so i'm quite looking forward to when this little one has his dental problems sorted out because he will be a constant pest jonesing for my lap as i work on my computer and bugging me with a chirp every so often to indicate he needs pats
the prognosis for his health is good, just that the level of pain he gets from his nasty gum problems is really quite extreme, i have never seen such a horrible thing inside a cat's mouth in my life, and my sympathy for his pain grew a lot this morning seeing it
as regards to this concept of sympathy, i also have realised that it's a synonym, exactly, for the latin word "misericorda" - to feel another's pain, and the word that is translated to english as "mercy"
so, i thought i was plagued with some kind of autistic problem but i'm plagued with mercy.
i find it extremely difficult to not sympathise, or feel the pain, of other people, and it has been almost the most strong element of my motivation in my life
i'm not averse to causing pain to others though, in my mercy to those they have caused pain to, but i walk the path of peace and when i do battle with such that cause pain i take the path of soft war, i have long wished i could get more people to understand how much that cruel, and violent people are really just seeking attention and the most effective method to keep them at bay is to simply ignore them, not to react, not to fight back... unless the violence is happening in the moment, and defense is needed, then ok, retribution must take place but the way you fight against evil is to corner it and starve it
anyway
just thinking about all the stuff tied to the current state of my kitty and how much gratitude i will feel when his pain is over and he can be my lap warmer and constant pest of my obsession, to make me pay attention to the world outside my little task, not just his needs but to remind me to switch gears sometimes to attend to other things
