Seeing Siamese Willow
My vision started giving me issues back in March of this year. The doctors spent months running test, retesting other things and eventually got to the diagnosis of Retinitus Pigmetosa. Feeling sorry for myself and depressed,I decided to go to the local Human Society and check out the cats. I figured if I could refocus my engergy on another being that needed me, then it would pull me out of my funk. I was first attracted to a male siamese named Willow, but an unnamed orange tabby was begging for attention. Naturally the orange tabby was held and petted..I even named it thinking that he would be the one...but out of the corner of my eye the siamese kept eye balling me and smiling like he already decided I was his..when I put my hand down he came over sniffed me and started rubbing his head against my hand. I put the orange tabby down and picked up the siamese. He looked me in the eye and touched his nose to mine...I was hooked.I set him down and said come on Willow time to go home and he followed me out to the processing area with out batting an eye..10 minutes later he was in a pet carrier and riding in the passengers seat, seat belt in place. It was then the name Willow reminded me of how a willow tree bends with the wind and is strong in its flexability. My vision has deteriorated since adopting Willow, but he reminds me that with my challenge, I too can be flexable and adjust..Willow is my angel with paws..--Willow is my angel with paws
