I have heard from another source that up to 50% of the population are infected with this parasite. Throughout my life, I have owned oh-so-many wonderful kittehs, so I am sure I contracted the parasite. No symptoms, but that doesn't mean much of anything with this one.

Currently I have a few kittehs. Three indoor kitties and then there are three outdoor kitties that belong to neighbors, but that I feed. I gladly serve them all and ask for nothing more than to further oblige them with a pet, brush, or ear rub.

I just cannot stand to see a hungry kitty, I must feed them. Or a dusty kitty from rolling around outside in the pollen. I must brush them! Or a kitteh with an itchy ear. I must scritch them!

One of the outdoor cats I take care of has one bad eye that is clearly blind. She also had a broken tooth, and after speaking to the owners I discovered she was LONG overdo for her kitty shots and they weren't planning on taking her to the vet ever again. They just didn't, and don't, give a damn.

So needless to say, I had to fix kitteh. I had to go without a lot of things that month to free up the hundreds of dollars that were spent examining her eye and making sure it wasn't infected or causing her pain or further damage, fixing her tooth, and making sure everything was healthy and nice and her shots were up to date.

I will take care of any and all kitties that need it even to my personal detriment.

Must. Serve. KITTEH.
