Story
Misty is a darling kitty, blind in one eye but doesn't look it. When a kitten, she had, according to the vet, congestive heart failure, causing serious respiratory problems. Vet gave her a cortisone shot; he said she would keep needing more shots, and that the condition would nonetheless eventually be fatal. But her "brother" Dart stepped in and parented and cuddled her, sleeping with her. Now she is the most athletic of the cats, leaping 10 feet from the microwave to the fridge. She'll stand and look at me for hours, fading into the background, absorbed in her relationship with me. I'll stand there as if looking in a mirror, then we'll turn and be side by side.
