Do not give in to sadness, torment not yourself with brooding;
gladness of heart is the very life of man, cheerfulness prolongs
his days.”

Kateri, felis hypochondriaca
Kateri tends to be
unduly concerned about her health. She read something recently
about a "white-nose fungus” that is decimating the
bat population in various parts of the country. She noticed that
she has a white patch in the vicinity of her nose. She asked
me if she was going to die. I told her: (a) that white nose fungus
is a concern only for bats, not for cats; (b) that the whiteness
of her nose is not due to a fungus, that it is just part of her
coloration. She seemed relieved, but I’m sure she’ll
find something else to worry about before long.
