#cutpurse

A few weeks ago, I found out my cat, Cutpurse, has gastrointestinal lymphoma. Not long after, he started on oral chemo medication to combat it.

He’s been lethargic and nauseas now and again, but he’s a a trooper. He still wants cuddles and to just be near me whenever he can.

Thee treatments are expensive, around $300 per pill. He will need to take them consistently every few weeks for at least a few more months, possibly more.

It couldn’t have come at a worse time. I found out the store I’ve worked at for seven years is closing, and I’ll be out of a job soon.

I am begging anyone who can help, if you can spare anything, it would mean the world to me. Cutpurse is my best friend and I can’t imagine a life without him.

Even just a reblog would be amazing.

Hieronymus Bosch, The Conjurer (c. 1502, engraving c. 1550) : “The painting accurately displays a performer doing the cups and balls routine, which has been practiced since Egyptian times. The shell game does have some origins in this old trick. The real trick of this painting is the pickpocket who is working for the conjurer. The pickpocket is robbing the spectator who is bent over.”

Such quibbles are just as harmlessly deceptive as the juggler's cup and dice, in which it is the very trickery that pleases me.  But show me how the trick is done, and I have lost my interest therein.
