Mom’s giving Lily all the attention. Well, maybe not all. We are still playing ball and she’s still feeding me and petting me and giving me treats and talking to me. But, Lily’s getting more attention. Maybe that’s ‘cause Lily’s sick.
It’s hard having a sick sister. Some days Lily acts normal. Some days all she’ll do is curl up and sleep. Cats do that a lot anyway. But this is different.
Some days Lily won’t eat. On the days she does eat, Mom feeds her more. All day long. Geez! I wish Mom fed me all day like that. I have to just watch Lily getting all that food.
And I’m not allowed to bother her. Geez! All I want to do is sniff her. You know where. Lily doesn’t like that. But what about when Lily stands on the table and looks down at me in my bed and stares and stares at me. That’s when Mom watches me really, really close. “Piper, ignore her,” Mom says. Geez Mom!
Guess being sick isn’t any fun. But it’s not any fun having a sick sister either. I mean it’s not only that she gets more attention. It’s that…it’s that. Well, it’s that I’m sad that Lily’s sick. I don’t want her to be sick. It’s not fair. She shouldn’t be sick. It’s no fun being sick.
I wish she’d get well.
