Cold and Flu Season

I haven't written in my blog for a few days. Sorry about that. I have been taking care of 'D', who has had a very bad cold, or flu. It's difficult for me to tell the difference between some of these human ailments.

Being a cat, I act much differently when I do not feel well. 'D&D' hardly notice when I'm not feeling up to par. I usually keep to myself and sleep way more than usual. And I do not eat very much. And I do not like to be bothered.

Now when 'D' is feeling unwell, it's quite a sight to see. First, he doesn't comb his hair. After a few days .... you talk about a rat's nest!! A scary site to see! And he's grouchy! My or my! I've not seen or heard such a grouch! I'm surprised that the grouchiness doesn't get rid of the flu! I wouldn't want to be around such a grouch!

And 'D' doesn't talk very much at all. More like a grunt when the other 'D' asks him a question. I guess if I felt as awful as he looked, I would grunt too!

I do not like being in the same room with 'D' when he has the flu. All I hear is coughing, nose blowing, and a cuss word here and there.

I think humans could learn about illness from us cats. Do what we do. Sleep, sleep and sleep. It will pass in a few days.

Oh, and as a side note: those wadded balls of kleenix lying about ARE NOT cat toys! That I have learned from experience!
