Today, I close a fractal and other possibilities open up. Today I release the one I love, I serenely cry and smile, without giving in to the drama. I am only living. I am on my way with heart.

When relationships end, they end, but the gifts they give us remain, like the herd of cats that Luz and I have under our protection and shelter, they are more than 20 cats and dogs, among caracas and chichiriviche of the coast, in Venezuela. These animals, our younger brothers and sisters, have taught me how to live, what community and telepathy is all about. Also how love heals our lives.

That is why I said earlier that I want to present here, with her permission, from Luz, the story she wrote. The story is about Chicho, one of our cats that is on the coast and that makes life in the yagoarundi project.

I make this post, which is more from Luz than mine, to pre welcome her to the community of Hive, I hope soon open her account, this is my gift of love for her, that she can make her art here in a decentralized way, her writing and her experience with Chicho, our cat was something that taught her a lot in the quarantine, and it is very nice story to tell.

This is the story of Chicho the cat...

Our love for cats has been going on for some years now but the more I get to know them the more I love them...

I was coming home after visiting my neighbors. Chicho and other cats ran mewing for food but Chicho jumped on three legs. Her right front paw was destroyed, it was a big wound. Bones, muscles, tendons, necrotic skin and worms that produced a terrible smell...

I didn't know what to do, I just knew I had to do it. I had never treated such a delicate little animal before. I was alone, without a vet and without medication. I relied on Reiki and Hoponopono. I called @towatia (Devo), sent videos, photos to several friends asking for help and started a task that took me 45 days. Days of quarantine that helped me to attend to him 24 hours a day.

With the daily support of Devo and a veterinary friend, the challenge of saving Chicho's paw began. Cleaning, removing worms were three times a day tasks, without fail. Learning to use her raspy tongue to remove dead skin without doing more damage than necessary and placing the magic aloe vera. Preventing him from escaping, giving him the antibiotic that the village nurse gave me, feeding him and immobilizing him like a child so that I could safely clean the wound for both of them?

Phrases like: Leave it in the river; It is not worth so much sacrifice; It will lose its leg; Give it back to the owner (which is the same as leaving it in the river)... They were usual, which convinced me more to do it from my selfless love. Saving that paw was my greatest wish.

Chicho's paw recovered. Chicho is no longer the same strong cat. The first day of freedom he came out smelling everything, the plants, the earth, believing that everything was still the same, he was beaten up. He understood that he was weak, that he was missing some claws and that the cats and the patios would be difficult.

Now Chicho owns my yard, the cats come in to dispute it but I go out to help him with my broom. He returns every night to his safe house, looking for love and there I am to take care of him and love him...he has a nice cattery, with a wife and many stepchildren...

We cured Chicho's paw with aloe vera crystals that I renewed three times a day and placed them with the blessed wound. When the wound on his paw was almost completely closed, I was left with the task of defusing the inflammation. The cat suffered a severe tear. It took a lot to deflate the paw but I soaked the paw in an infusion of mango leaf and arnica. That was the solution. A few days later the paw was already deflated.

Right now, the boy's wife has just given birth, and more cats are coming into our lives. She has already brought the first 5 cats that are growing strong and healthy. We will tell you about "the fat one" later on.

I thank God for what Chicho teaches me, that all wounds with love and wisdom can be healed. He came to me in that moment, gave me the beautiful opportunity that we will heal together. I learned about the love of the other, about the love of life and the fear of death, about what is really important in life, about the here and now...he showed me an unknown side of my being that I now honor and respect.

Luz Mary.
